Whisper Me a Love Song Anime Is Suspended

On the official website for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Eku Takeshima, "Whisper Me a Love Song (Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau)", it was reported that the upcoming episodes will be delayed by several weeks due to production issues. According to the report, the new issuance schedule will be as follows:

June 1 – Episode 8.
June 8 – Compilation (Episodes 1 & 2).
June 15 – Compilation (Episodes 3 to 6).
June 22 – Episode 9.
June 29 – Episode 10.

Due to the fact that the Summer-2024 season begins in July, this series automatically loses its broadcast block, which means that Episodes 11 and 12 will be pending broadcast. This usually means a delay of at least three months, as they cannot be accommodated until the new season is coming to an end.

It should be noted that this comes as no surprise to anyone, given that it was recently revealed that the production of "Whisper Me a Love Song" has been plagued by problematic working conditions, disorganized schedules, poor communication, and questionable behavior by animation studios Yokohama Animation Lab and Cloud Hearts.

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?
