Super cute! I greatly enjoyed it! I like that it centered on musicians, and the manga formatting was easy to follow.

Ok so first of all… AHHHHHH MY HEART. Ugh the smoulder and the senpai just ugh MY HEART DIED. Add in Himari and my heart just freaking EXPLODED. This manga is SO CUTE! Himari is very much just WHAM in your face but she is so CUTE and bubbly and that part with the head pat I literally melted into a puddle. I NEED VOLUME 2 RIGHT NOW. This is basically like a ‘bruh’ girl paired with a ‘uwu’ girl times a million and I am so totally here for it. I loved this book. I loved the story. I loved the characters. I loved the artwork. I loved EVERYTHING.

This was an adorable first volume for this shoujo yuri manga series about two girls falling in love over music and a misunderstanding. It was a bit cheesy at times and I wish we learned a bit more about the main two, but overall I enjoyed this one! And that ending! Now I need volume 2 ASAP, please and thanks!

It's been a while since I read a yuri (well shoujo-ai) manga and this was absolutely adorable. The cover art drew me in and I really love the art style in the manga.

It's a very cute story about two girls falling in love at first sight. Himari and Yuri are so loveable and wholesome that I was smiling throughout the book.

Since it's the first volume, there's isn't much happening but I love how the characters are set up and I'm super excited for the next volume! If you're looking for a cute and adorable manga with music and cats, I'd highly recommend checking this out!

I'm very excited that there is a shounen-ai out. I've had my share of reading the very few that there are (which in itself is a crime that there are so little), but this was a very cute story that is just wholesome enough and with a very cute style. I love that the characters had an instant like to each other and were genuinely sweet to one another. I don't want to spoil any further than what the story has, but if you're looking for something sweet and wholesome I recommend this.

I really liked a lot my reading !
This manga is a sweet, cute and feel-good romance between two girls and this first volume was really cool. Discover this girls and their feelings was great. I loved the mangaka decide to talk about the differents ways of love and how this word can have differents meanings. In fact, this make me think of Bloom into you but with diffrents caracters and differents ways to talk about love.
The drawing was great too. So it's a good first volume and I want to read the next one !

This is my first time reading Yuri manga and I think I’ll definitely be reading more after this. It’s about a freshman, Himari who falls in love at first sight with Yori-sempai after hearing her sing with her band during orientation, except it’s supposedly platonic. Yori misunderstands and *actually* falls in love with Himari at first sight. Thus they have to come to an agreement on whether they “love” each other and what that means. In terms of the plot, I thought it was a pretty simple story. I can understand Himari’s character because I feel like women are more comfortable saying something like, “I fell in with you after hearing you sing” and meaning it in a completely platonic way as compared to men complimenting men. I bet it’s tough for the lesbian, bi and pan women out there to wade through these signals and figure out what’s actually a come-on. Still, I wasn’t super invested in the story so I don’t think I’ll continue. It was cute, but just not interesting enough to keep my attention.

An advanced reader of this book was provided to me by the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I found this book on NetGalley and I requested it because it looked really cute, uplifting, and interesting. It was all of those things! This book follows Himari who falls in love with Yori at first sight when she sees Yori playing in a band. As they get to know each other Himari confesses to Yori that she has fallen in love with her. Yori also admits that she has fallen in love with Himari, but soon realises that they do not mean the same kind of love. Himari's love is more of a fan loving an idol and Yori's is a romantic love.

I liked this manga but it was mainly just set up and build up of the story. I do think that the main characters are the strongest part of the manga, but the plot is focused on their relationship/romance and I didn't really buy it because of how naive/innocent Himari is and because it's insta love, but I knew that it was insta love when I was going into this book. I felt like the plot wasn't gripping enough for me to want to continue reading on the series and I do sadly think that I will forget the plot of this manga soon. However, it is the best gl manga that I've read and I would recommend it to readers who want to read gl but I just didn't love it. I liked it.

This is absolutely one of the best manga I've read all year, and I'm very glad it' got picked up for localization. The art is stellar, especially for the genre. The story is a fun twist on "fan and rock star fall in love", with the rock star falling first for the fan, and then trying to woo her.

Such a cute sweet love story between two girls. Enjoyed the reading, Lots of misunderstandings between the two main characters in regards to what they truly meant and what they felt. Quick, easy, lovely read.

“I’m gonna make you fall in love so hard. So you better brace yourself.”

HONESTLY GUYS, we need this animated ASAP. This is SUCH a cute yuri manga. As many other yuri mangas are starting to give sapphics the positive representation that they deserve in mangas, Whisper Me A Love Song is one of those lighthearted shoujo yuri manga that literally does that. Nothing problematic or over-sexualized content, just two teenage girls falling for each other. I can’t wait for you all to read this. A freshman who became a fan of the temporary singer of a band at their school’s entrance ceremony, kinda gives me that “Given” feel, but a little bit more on the lighthearted side and with sapphics. I love that the manga also does a dual-POV of what the other character was thinking after the scene happened. It was a nice surprise. (I need the second volume already btw).

If you like light/soft-hearted manga with the main characters being a gay blushing mess, then this manga is just for you. Anime and Manga stans are not ready for Whisper Me A Love Song.

Thank you Kodansha Comics and Netgalley for providing me an eARC of Whisper Me A Love Song 1 in exchange for an honest review.

This manga follows Yori and Himari' story. Himari is a freshman, while Yori is in the third year.
They meet for the first time in the first day of school, when Yori sings in the school band and they instantly fall in love with each other.
I really liked this manga. The story was so cute and I can't wait to read the next volume.
I really recommend it and I would like to thank Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book.

A rocky romance filled with mixed signals between a high school musician and a sweet freshman.

Himari has just begun high school and has already found love at first sight with the lead vocalist of the high school band, SS Girls. Himari confesses her love at first sight to Yori, the lead vocalist, and declares her intent to listen to Yori sing every day after school. However, the declarations of love, at first sight, mean different things to each girl.

The plot is full of campy feelings and shojo drama. Himari is a funny and sweet character readers come to expect in this genre. Yori is a reluctant romantic but eager to meet Himari's expectations. The plot features five chapters with different scenarios, ending with a cliffhanger. The illustrations capture the humor and emotions of the scenes. The dialogue is minimal but revealing of the character's true feelings. The plot moves quickly with decent character development.

I would recommend this as an easy read and a romantic comedy.

I enjoyed this story so much! I found the characters really fun to read, and the plot line something new and unique. The art was beautifully well done and I loved the color pages as well. I wish we had gotten a little more from either girl’s friend group, but I suppose that’ll come in later books (or at least, I hope!). I loved our bouncy puppy of a girl that Kino is and the nervous but too cool energy of Yori. The cat loving bit was really precious as well!

The story between the two girls was cute and refreshing; reminiscing with what new fascination of what young love is like. While the story is intriguing and holds your interest due to Himari's bubbly personality and her first encounter with Yori, there seems to be something missing. Perhaps it's due to a lack of conflict or an obstacle between their growing relationship, and although it is only the first installment of the series, I found myself wanting to know what will happen next. Hope to see Himari's and Yori's journey continue and how their "love" will blossom. Thanks for the read and I'll be on the lookout for book 2!

I never really expect much from yuri manga. The plot and scenarios typically don't make any sense or seem unrealistic. This was a cute story (I did find myself slightly frustrated at the "love at first sight part) but I won't be reading further volumes if they have any.

It has been a very long time since I’ve collected manga series, but this one was so freaking cute and good, I am seriously considering breaking that streak.

Whisper Me a Love Song follows a Freshman as she becomes infatuated with an upperclassman that she sees singing at the school welcome ceremony. Hilarity and miscommunication ensues.

This manga was an extremely cute story. The characters were fun and likeable and reminded me of actual real friends and high school students. I loved the interactions between Himari and Yori. However, that cliff-hanger ending was not what I was expecting! This first volume was mainly building the characters and setting the foundation of the story. I am really looking forward to seeing how the story progresses!

This was such a sweet, wholesome manga and it was really enjoyable to read. Nobody could accuse it of being the most original - the characters were fairly stock, and I found the whole misunderstanding-based plot a little painful - but sometimes you want that in a story, and Whisper Me a Love Song delivers perfectly. I'm not the best judge of artwork, but I really like the art style and found that the characters were quite recognisable, which is always a plus. Overall, I'd say this is a cliche but charming manga and I'm excited to see where the series goes next.

Bubbly, energetic first-year high school student Himari falls head over heels for an older student Yori after hearing her sing on the first day of school. Himari immediately tells Yori she's fallen in love at first sight, because this is what normal people do, right? (OK, I guess not, but it was adorable). Himari is extremely cute as she pines after Yori and grills her best friend on information on her crush. And then... Yori confesses as well, but maybe she means a slightly different kind of love?

It. Was. So. Cute. Himari is super cute on her own and paired with a slightly tsundere senpai, she's frigging adorkable. Himari is more of a groupie, in love with Yori's voice more than the idea of being girlfriends, while Yori, for the first time ever, actually thinks she might be interested in romance. This discrepancy between how they view their relationship makes it even cuter, even though I imagine that in real life it would cause trouble. Determined to make Himari fall in love properly, Yori sets off on a quest to create the perfect love song.

Set in a fictional world where homophobia doesn't exist, It's a very safe and cute manga for people looking for some adorable sapphic manga. On top of that romance cuteness, I also enjoyed how supportive the other friends were of that relationship (all the friends were female, I don't think there was even one boy in this comic book). While Yori's love troubles are the source of drama, her friends offer some comedic relief. I laughed a lot at some of the friends' comments about the misunderstandings/the relationship itself.

I thought this manga was one of the cutest I've read in a long time. There's some so soft in the love between these two and the artwork is so gorgeous I could die. If you're a fan of tender yuri manga, this is a title you don't want to miss.
