Whisper Me a Love Song synopsis
Whisper Me a Love Song is a girl-love series centered around Asanagi Yori, a mature student who is still inexperienced when it comes to romance. One day, she was confessed to by a junior named Kino Hamari, and as she had no idea how to return her feelings, Asanagi consulted her friends.
Her friends teased her by saying that she was experiencing true love, which gave her the confidence to return Hamari's feelings. As she made up her mind to do this, an unexpected turn of events revealed that Hamari was only in love with Asanagi's music.
Annoyed by this, these two started to spend time together, with Asanagi aiming to make Hamari fall for her personality rather than her music. Will this love be mutual or just a useless try from Asanagi?
