The official Japanese website for Eku Takeshima Manga Song's Whisper Me a Love (Sasayaku yō ni Koi wo Utau) television anime announced on Thursday that the anime's production team will delay the Blu-ray Disc release in Japan by four months due to “production circumstances.”
The anime's first Blu-ray disc, originally scheduled for September 13, is now scheduled for January 31 of next year. The second volume was delayed from October 11 to February 28. The third volume was delayed from November 8 to March 28. The fourth volume was delayed from December 13 to April 30.
The official website announced in June that the remaining episodes had been delayed by at least two weeks due to production issues. The anime aired two compilation specials—”Prelude” covering the first two episodes and “Interlude” covering episodes 3 through 6—on June 8 and June 15. The first new episode, episode 9, aired on June 22, and episode 10 aired on June 29. The anime has yet to air the remaining two episodes.
The anime premiered on April 13 on TV Asahi's NUMAnimation programming block after a previous delay.
HIDIVE is streaming the anime as it airs in Japan.
Publisher Kodansha USA is releasing the manga digitally and in print in English, and describes the first volume:
Lively, energetic first year high school student Himari falls in love with senpai Yori after hearing her band perform on the first day of school. Himari tells Yori that she only loves her, and to Himari's surprise, Yori says that she loves Himari too! But when Himari realizes that she and her senpai are experiencing two different types of love, she begins to wonder what “love” really means…
