Whisper Me A Love Song is about Himari and Yori, two high school girls who catch feelings for each other. Himari is a freshman, while Yori is in the third year. Himari is a cute, bubbly and expressive girl who falls for Yori. And on the other hand, Yori is shy, who is holding herself to not express her love for Himari. They met for the first time in the first day of school, Yori was singing in a band as part of a welcome assembly. After that performance, Himari tells Yori she's fallen in love at first sight, and Yori confesses that she has as well! But when Himari realizes that she and Yori are feeling two different kinds of love, she begins to ask herself what "love" really means.

So it's a cute love story of mistaken communications. I requested this from netgalley because the cover looks super cute. The story is just as cute, made my heart flutter. and I really enjoyed reading it. Ahhh...So much cute fluff! The art style is adorable. I need volume 2! I need to see where this goes!

First of all, I want to thank you for the copy of the first volume of this manga.
I didn't know what to expect but I really like it a lot. This is a yuri manga with high schoolers and it's very cute and great.
The story is funny, kind, cute and it melted my heart. It's a real feel-good reading that everyone should read.
And what I really loved is the fact that there wasn't any homophobia.
Just a story of two girls, first love, obvious characters, and music.
You should read it even if your not part of the community. Everyone likes a good love story.

One day, first-year high school girl Himari sees a girl, Yori, sing in a band, and instantly falls in love, telling anyone who will listen. When she meets the object of her affection, Yori claims to have the same feelings. But each girl seems to mean something different, awakening feelings Himari doesn't understand... but Yori does!
Sweet love story as the two girls dance around true feelings because they can't imagine why they feel what they do.
Liked this enough to go get the rest just to see if true happiness is in the cards for Yori and Himari.

Thank you, NetGalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

This was a really lighthearted and cute story! The two characters are very loveable and I instantly fell in love with them at first sight haha! It felt quite slow to read which is why it took me a while, not much happens. I hope more volumes brings a bit of drama and an emotional time for the reader because overall I didn't feel too much. But it was really cute and defiently a comfort read.

Whisper me a love song was wonderfully wholesome. I cannot wait for the next installment. Himari’s character was kind and so happy it made me feel giddy. Yori-San was definitely a character that I think many will identify with specially if you’re part of the lgbt+community. As a manga it doesn’t have much plot since it’s barely the start of this series but even as short as it was there was still enough to satisfy and leave us wanting more. I recommend if you enjoy cute characters, some gay panic, music and high school friendships. This is a great slice of life yuri and I highly recommend.

(3.5)

I thought it was a cute fun little story, but it greatly lacked substance. Also, I’m personally not a fan of the miscommunication trope, so that contributed to my lower rating. All in all, it’s a nice mindless story to read if your bored perhaps.

Whisper Me a Love Song was a cute beginning of a hopefully continuously cute series.

This was an adorable little LGBT series about two girls who see each other at a concert where Yori is singing in a band. Himari, struck by love at first sight, befriends quiet Yori and they begin to tip-toe around a relationship where neither are sure what the other means.

If you enjoy cutesy love-story manga, definitely give this series a shot!

I adore a good soft girl love story which is exactly what this story is. The relationship builds so naturally and I loved that there was no homophobia based on the girls’ feelings for each other. It’s a low bar but some people still trip on it.

*this is an ARC review for NetGalley*

This gets a 2.5 stars from me... the story and characters were just really surface level. There was little character development, romantic buildup/tension, motivation, or internal dialogue. Instead it relies on cutesy illustration and some really standard romance manga tropes.

Also just a note that its not because I'm inexperienced with the genre- I've read a lot of shoujo manga and a decent amount of GL/Yuri

This is such an adorable story! The main two character are both sweet and very realist to know what to say to their crushes. That which in anime it usually take forever to admit that they like each other. The story sweet and fluffy. I read the first book in less the 30mins that how hooked you'll get into it.

Thank you netgalley for this book. This was so freaking cute and I wish it wasn’t over. When I got the the end I was so disappointed because I wanted more. I honestly hate the miscommunication troupe but I didn’t mind it here. I need the next one ASAP

This was a really cute read and an interesting premise based on what people mean when they say they "love" someone, in terms of friendship and romance. It was a really interesting plot point and provided a lot of room for the mangaka to play with some fun ideas.
This was a fluffy, fun read with not much drama, but some silly misunderstandings, a lot of blushing and a budding romance. I thought the characters were interesting (both main and side) and I want to know more about them. I enjoyed the difference between Yori's cool girl persona and her real feelings when faced with Himari's enthusiastic adoration. It was a great contrast and made me laugh quite a few times. They both complement each other really well as characters, and Yori's efforts to win over Himari were really quite sweet.
There were a lot of threads between the main and side characters that I am sure will develop more fully in further volumes. The band SS Girls all seem like they have a lot going on that I'm looking forward to discovering more about.
I'll definitely be continuing with this series as I'm interested to know where this will lead. It seems like it's going to be quite a sweet series, so I'm looking forward to reading more, and though there wasn't much drama in this volume I expect there is some to come.
I really loved the art style, everything looked beautiful and the character designs are great!
I recommend this if you're looking for a fluffy/fun yuri romance.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book in return for an honest review.

This manga was so sweet it made my teeth ache. Both the characters are great and it is nice to see two girls together (or at least wanting each other) in a manga, The beginning few pages were in full colour but the rest is in black and white like a lot of other manga.

For me, this was a quick and easy read. While this was a love at first sight sort of situation, I didn't mind it too much! I want to read the next volumes asap!

Good Yuri is hard to find ("Yuri" is a Japanese term for a genre that features lesbian relationships). The charming artwork works well with the light tone of the story making <em>Whisper Me a Love Song</em> is a solid addition to the genre. Though the pairing of a younger student with a seemingly unattainable upperclassman is familiar, Eku Takeshima adds a few twists. I wish there had been a bit less repetition and more attention spent on character development but this quick read will have you immediately reaching for the next issue.

Although manga is not a genre I typically read, I am drawn to anything with LGBTQIA+ themes. I am glad I was drawn to this because it was light, cute and heartwarming. I am definitely going to seek out the next volume to see how this love story progresses.

This was too freaking precious and I can't wait for the 2nd volume to come out! Our main girls are so so cute and have their own unique personalities, which i adore. The music is minor but I'd like to see more about it in the future. Art is stunning, I fell in love with the shorter girl instantly and the taller one grew on me. Absolutely recommend!!!

Whisper Me A Love Song is about Himari and Yori, two high school girls who catch feelings for each other. Himari is a bubbly, cheerful first year, who sees Yori, an shy older student, sing in a band as part of a welcome assembly. Himari thinks that Yori is awesome, and falls for her singing. Yori falls for Himari.

I requested this from netgalley because the cover is super cute. The art style is adorable. The story is just as cute, and I really enjoyed reading it. It threw me right back to my own highschool crushes, where you see someone and they're just so cool that you can't stop thinking about them. Himari's best friend is just so done with Himari's obsession with Yori, and Yori's friends tease her about her crush. There are some really sweet moments, and some really funny moments too. The two of them are just adorable. I think I liked Yori's perspective the best. The manga goes back and forth between the two of them, and whilst I liked both a lot, I particularly liked Yori.

This manga gives warm fuzzy feelings, it's just so cute. (How many times have I used the word cute in this review...? Probably too many, but it's the right word to describe it.) I need more! I need volume 2! I need to see where this goes! Also, the bonus mini stories at the end were a delight.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC manga, it was such a cute,fun read. Can't wait for Vol2.
Himari is so adorable and her senpai Yori is too precious and awkward.
the anime style was very good as well, it did feel abit on the long side but that might have been because it was an e-version and i'm not used to it.

Whisper me a Love Song is a such a cute manga story! I really enjoy the interaction of Yori and Himari..

I really like Yori and find her character interesting same with Himari who is such a cute one tbh, althought there are some parts of the story I felt a little off about her but overall she's just a cutie.

Will definitely continue this cute story!

Very superficial little love story of a girl falling in love with another girl because of a beautiful singing voice.

Very natural love story. And no one questions that the two girls are in love. It is more about their grade levels rather than their gender.

There are cute things, where each girl is not sure if the kind of love they are talking about is the kind of love they have for each other.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
