Now this is a banger! A top contender in its genre, no doubt. Some people have expressed disappointment that the focus shifted away from the main pairing, but I honestly don’t see that as a bad thing—some of the side characters are arguably even more compelling.

Art? Easily the best in the genre, in my opinion. Characters? While not flawless, they’re incredibly diverse and well-written. Story? Something is always happening, so I didn't get bored.

As for the latest arc (Miki's arc) at the time of writing this: please, please don’t make it weird! This series is so dear to me, and I’d hate to see its ... reputation tarnished by anything overly bizarre or off-putting.

As a sapphic in the Yuri community, this is one of the manga that a lot of them recommend reading for people who want to read GL. Most of them know this, basically, it's like a starter pack for GL readers lmao [like Bloom into you]. I love this manga. The art style is pretty, the characters are insanely cute, and seriously, everyone is just lovable. This manga hits me right in the feels. I love Himari and Yori's dynamic. They're literally the black cat gf x golden retriever gf.

But here's the thing, the main characters feel like they're playing the side characters in ... the recent volumes because the manga focused more on Shiho and Izumi’s story. I am a bit conflicted because while I’m frustated by how Yori and Himari’s story and relationship were sidelined, Shiho and Izumi have grown on me, a little. I mean I love the cute gay fluff Yori and Himari have going on, so sweet my teeth hurt, but I got more invested in Shiho and Izumi’s story, maybe because I just like the drama of it all. I live for the angst. BUT GODDAMNNN IF I WASN'T FRUSTRATED LIKE DIDN”T READY THIS MANGA FOR THEM I WANT YORI AND HIMARI HUGGING, KISSING, GOING ON DATES... It’s justtt so unfair how the two MCs were just sidelined like that. I was so ready to see more of them, how their relationship will progress and shit.

Still, the story's ongoing, so hopefully we'll get more of Himari and Yori in the next volumes, especially now that Yori's heading out of high school.

First review fellas, you know the drill.

Whispering You a Love Song is a pretty unoriginal romance. It steals story elements from Bloom into You and character design from Oregairu, but unoriginality isn't always a bad thing. But in this case, it is.

spoiler warning for bloom into you.

Story: the story is just copy and paste from Bloom into You but without the depth and underlying meaning that bloom into you has. It uses the lack of understanding of love in BIY as a plot convenience rather than to tell a story. The way I see it, the only positive quality the story has is that ... it's cute, but it feels very forced so it doesn't ''hit'' me that way.

Characters: The characters are pretty lackluster and relatively cliche and feel very anime-esque. They don't seem like real people in the slightest even when you consider that it's anime. In other words, it feels forced.

art: art is decent can't complain.

Enjoyment: I did not enjoy this manga for the reasons stated above. It feels like this manga is only here to cash-grab on ''cute girls like each other'' rather than to tell a good story or do anything original.
