Whisper Me a Love Song, Vol. 9

Aki finally has closure on why her friendship with Shiho came crumbling down--but that doesn’t mean she feels good about it. With Shiho’s forlorn feelings now out in the open, will the two girls finally be able to move on from their past and share a new future together?

At long last, Aki knows why Shiho quit SSGIRLS, and it’s left her reeling. She wonders if she’ll ever be able to get her old friend back--and what she even really feels for Shiho herself. The school festival seems like it might offer her last chance at reconciliation, but how can you communicate with someone who refuses to listen to you? Himari is stuck in the middle, pained that her two friends seem bent on not seeing eye to eye, but is there anything she can do to help? As the battle of the bands heats up, Aki thinks of one last, desperate plan to tell Shiho how she feels... But is it too little, too late?
