The Yuri Whisper Me a Love Song Dates Its New Premiere
On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Eku Takeshima, "Whisper Me a Love Song (Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau)," a new promotional image for the project was revealed. The press release confirmed that the new release date is scheduled for April 13 in Japan, and announced details about the theme songs, including:
- The band SSGIRLS will perform the opening theme titled "Follow Your Arrows," with Kana Sasakura (Yori Asanagi's singing vocals) on vocals. While Hana Shimano will perform the closing theme titled "Gifty".
It should be noted that this project was scheduled to premiere for the Winter-2024 season (January-March), but the production did not explain the reason for the changes in both the staff and the schedule, and only apologized for the inconvenience that these decisions caused to fans.
Eku Takeshima began publishing the manga in Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Yuri Hime magazine in February 2019. He previously worked on character design for the anime Null Peta, and published other works such as "Kimi ni Suki tte Iwasetai (I'd Like To Make You Say Loving)"; "Hare no Kuni no Appare-dan (Appare! Girls in Okayama)"; and "Saiko Hunter Ryuu," to name a few.

Synopsis of Whisper Me a Love Song
Yori Asanagi is a mature girl in many ways, but she remains pure when it comes to romances. This feeling is demonstrated when a first-year student, Himari Kino, suddenly confesses her love for him after his band's performance at the opening ceremony. Confused and surprised, Yori asks her friends for consultation, but they mock her by telling her that she is experiencing love. Yori soon makes up her mind and tries to reciprocate Himari's feelings, but in a turn of events, she realizes that what Himari loved was not her, but her music!
Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau revolves around the relationship between Yori and Himari. As Yori continues to pursue her love for Himari, she vows to make Himari fall in love with her. However, will this passionate love blossom or remain unrequited?
