So before I start I have to admit I am one of the people who read and completed the manga before I watched the anime so I am a bit biased. Sasameki Koto or Whispered Words in English is the Story of Sumika, a girl who is good at sports and has great grades but even though she has the shy girl with glasses look she is far from shy and Ushio her best friend who is a sweet girl who has a love of cute girls. The problem is Sumika is in love with Ushio but she herself doesn't fit the qualifications of cute
...
and her feelings are unnoticed by Ushio.
Now I will go on record to say that Sumika IS cute, she is probably one of the cutest girls I have seen in a manga/anime. Anyway being a fan of the manga and story I have to say the anime is good for what it is but it lacks in a lot of ways. For one the manga wasn't finished when the anime aired and so there is no conclusion to the story, its left open heck one of the episodes is an anime only episode that wasn't in the manga.
Many people who have watched the anime have complained about the lack of conclusion and how there is no confession in it which they are right there isn't one....in the anime. The manga however has both a conclusion AND a confession. You have to understand the anime only covers the first 12 chapters of a 53 chapter manga. So if you felt unfulfilled at the end of the anime, then read the manga.
The art and sound is great and the characters are the selling point for this short anime that leaves out a great bit of the story. There are characters that show up later in the manga that are not in the anime that is a shame since they would of made it really enjoyable.
But being a fan of the story I wil lsay having the anime is a plus to any yuri collection but to get the whole story you will have to read the manga which you can do by reading it online OR by buying it since the manga is now being released in English finally.
