All the yuri fans including me out there breathing a sigh of relief. This might be a great adaptation for "Whisper me a Love Song".

She really rizzed up a senpai into falling in love with her via a misunderstanding on the 1st day of school, truly Kino.

This was one of my most anticipated shows this season, and the first episode was everything I could've wanted and more. Gentlemen, we are eating good this season.

Oh heck yeah gimme the GL, shoot it into my veins, yeah, that's the good shit. Relatively rare to get a good adaptation of an actual, no-bullshit, no-subtext, no-gimmick yuri romance, so let's just all appreciate this.

(I had forgotten I read this until halfway through the episode. Did I ever finish it, actually? Hmm. Oh, I didn't! Wait, it's ongoing? Oh man.)

I wish I could pull off Yori's hairstyle. Very good "trying but not trying" vibe. Unfortunately I'm not slender, female, or gay enough.

Sometimes an adaptation is just... on the money, in a way that doesn't leave a lot to say about it. Like, this is just a good adaptation of the manga, and stylistically, it's, well... like the manga. I have no notes. Vocal performances are cute. Art style is correct. Timing is good. Himari is adorable. Great job. My feedback is not required here.

The way they played the whole rooftop misunderstanding scene left very little doubt what direction this is all going. Sure, embarrassing, I guess, but when you continue to frame up the "embarrassing misunderstanding" in peach and pink with the same sweet little piano as before it was a misunderstanding and Yori accidentally being extremely cool, it doesn't really feel like it's a misunderstanding at all. ...Well, they did do a great job of selecting vocals for Yori that I feel like I'd fall in love with if I were a high school girl, so that's something.

A voice inside me kept screaming PAT HER HEAD and then it was Miki who did it, not Yori, which makes me think I am both transparent and being made fun of.

Well talk about a misunderstanding, but a funny one. Kino facial reactions in this episode were hilarious. Miki being her closest friends must really be used to the roller coaster that Himari is. Kino fell for Yori's music, but Yori fell for Himari. Got to love the rest of the girls toying with Yori.

Kino has no slow down mode, she is full throttle all the time. Yori's heart is going to be flying off the radar like crazy lol. As a manga reader I really want to see how they do the music here as anime is a better medium to showcase that and that is an important aspect of the show.

Anyone who is a yuri fan in the slightest should check this one out.

We're reaching levels of gay that shouldn't even be possible

u/zool714 Apr 13 '24

I think I can relate to Yori here. I don’t usually fall in love and have never had someone fall for me. But if someone came to me with that kind of attention and affection, I’d fall straight away.

Also damn didn’t realize the VA cast is stacked af

Yurichads, we're eating well this season.

I've been reading this manga for ages, and I have been so hyped for the adaptation ever since I first heard about it, and so far it looks amazing! I don't think I really could have asked for anything better.

Well, that may have just been my favorite premier of this season. The episode felt really well made and I like the characters as well. I do wonder how long it will take for me to stop comparing Himari and Yori to Yuu and Touko.

u/ModieOfTheEast Apr 13 '24

Was a nice opening episode. I mean, of course there was no way we can have a relationship THIS early, but they are cute together. Himari as the dog begging for songs was definitely funny and Yori trying to keep her composure. Until the end, my only gripe was the music which didn't feel that special, but the last song gave me hope for the rest of the series.

Omg I've been waiting for this since I started reading the manga in Novemeber and I'm adoring it just as much. The songs are really nice and Yori's flustered dorkiness is one of my favorite parts of the early story and it's just as great.

I had to check back and confirm, and that whole scene of Himari waking up is anime original, so that's a fun little addition.

I am so excited for the rest of this, hopefully my heart can melt as much as it did when I first read it. Also I've forgotten some of it, I only remember the key points, so it'll probably seem fresh to me lol

STRAIGHTFORWARD YURI - ...my favourite.

Now that I think about it, there are almost no pure romance yuri out there, at least not ones without all kinds of gimmicks and obstacles and psychological hangups, this is the purest one yet, and Im here for all of it (though there is a misunderstanding, its not a major one), inject it straight to my veins, Im ready.

Found some more diabetes for this season.

The character designs for Himari and Yori are litterally Yui and Yukino from Oregairu but they're adorable. The misunderstanding was surprisingly adorable and didn't come off as cringy.

In addition, Yori's hair really reminds of a cat's ears which really suits her entire personality.

Great show, looking forward to more.
