We join Sasayakuyouni Koi wo Utau, Volume 7 (ささやくように恋を唄う), our resident adorable high school love story as Himari and Yori-sempai share their first real kiss.

This leads to them spending the night together after a sudden passing trope leaves them soaked. Yori stresses over the intimacy that sharing a bed brings, while Himari falls asleep.

Shiho decides to tell Himari the whole story about why she left SS Girls and it’s about what one might expect; a pile of mutually exclusive needs and desires that are compounded by strong emotional circumstances. Himari takes it all in so Shiho can get it all out, then politely asks Shiho to deal with the one things she hasn’t ever admitted – her feelings for Aki-sempai.

This series is moe in the most specific sense of the word – one wants very much to treasure these young ladies and protect them from harm. But also one wishes to celebrate them and that is what Kodansha did this weekend at Anime Expo! Head over to the Ichijinsha twitter account and take a look at the photos of their display. Revel in the Yuri-ness of it all. Yuri Is My Job!, I’m In Love With The Villainess and Whisper Me A Love Song all got space and time at the booth. Happy sigh.
