After performing a song at her school’s opening ceremony, musician Yori Asanagi receives an apparent love confession from freshman Himari Kino. But just as Yori decides she wants to return Himari’s feelings, Himari reveals that she did not “love” her, but “admires” her! But you can’t unring a bell once struck, and Yori is determined to make Himari fall for her, not just her music. Will their hearts ever beat as one, or will their love fall out of tune?
Whisper Me a Love Song is based on the manga serialization in Ichijinsha’s Comic Yuri Hime that first launched on February 18, 2019 and now totals eight volumes. The English language edition is published by Kodansha Comics.
