Whisper Me a Love Song
Synopsis. On the first day of entering high school, Himari Kino "falls" for her senior, Yori Asanagi, whom she watched singing with a band at the welcome party for new students. When Himari confesses her admiration to Yori, Yori misinterprets Himari's feelings as romantic love. However, before Yori realizes, she comes to fall for Himari anyway, and promises to win her affections for real. Reception. Erica Friedman of Yuricon noted in her review that while the story is not groundbreaking it is "so pleasant and full of such pleasant characters, that it’s a  joy to read." In contrast, "The OASG" criticizes its ability to keep the series interesting, "Eku Takeshima is betting the success of this entire story on the strength of the relationship between Himari and Yori and while that may have worked if this story was a short one-shot, it’s not nearly enough for an entire series." Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network praised the characters and called it "a yuri series you don't want to miss." Nicki Bauman likewise praised the characters, calling them "delightfully passionate and excited by each other" but criticized the series's pacing . In 2020, "Whisper Me a Love Song" was part of the top 20 finalist featured in the Niconico and Da Vinci's Next Manga Awards.
