A new PV has been released for the upcoming yuri TV anime series Whisper Me a Love Song, spotlighting the two main characters Himari and Yori. The anime is set to premiere in Japan on April 13, 2024.
Whisper Me a Love Song was originally slated to air this past January, but was delayed due to “various circumstances.”
Afterwards, Akira Mano (Ghost Hunt, Gunslinger Girl: -Il Teatrino-) was announced to be replacing Xinya Cai (The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt assistant director) as director, with an official statement saying that Cai’s health was the reason for the change. Yokohama Animation Lab also went from being the animation production supervisor to sharing animation production credits with CLOUDHEARTS.
Other staff members include Hiroki Uchida (Requiem of the Rose King) as series screenwriter, Minami Yoshida (Manaria Friends) as character designer, Ryunosuke Oji (Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal sub-character designer) as sub-character designer and costume designer, and Hiroshi Sasaki and Wataru Maeguchi as music composers.
Meanwhile, the anime’s main voice cast consists of:
- • Hana Shimano as Himari Kino
- • Asami Seto as Yori Asanagi
- • Mikako Komatsu as Aki Mizuguchi
- • Konomi Kohara as Mari Tsutsui
- • Ai Kakuma as Kaori Tachibana
- • Yuna Nemoto as Shiho Izumi
- • Kana Sasakura as Yori (singing voice)
- • Sui Mizukami as Shiho (singing voice)
The anime is based on the manga series by Eku Takeshima, which was first launched in Ichijinsha’s Comic Yuri Hime on February 18, 2019. Nine tankobon volumes have been released as of March 2024.
HIDIVE will stream Whisper Me A Love Song as part of its Spring 2024 anime simulcast lineup, describing the main story as:
After performing a song at her school’s opening ceremony, musician Yori Asanagi receives an apparent love confession from freshman Himari Kino. But just as Yori decides she wants to return Himari’s feelings, Himari reveals that she did not “love” her, but “admires” her! But you can’t unring a bell once struck, and Yori is determined to make Himari fall for her, not just her music. Will their hearts ever beat as one, or will their love fall out of tune?
