Whisper Me a Love Song manga volume 9 features story and art by Eku Takeshima.

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?
