I don't remember them doing much in Season 1 (which surprised me because I went into Love Live! knowing NicoMaki is super popular) besides really arguing (Kotori did the most NicoMaki thing with the heart shaped straw) but I remember Season 2 being like the exact opposite and being like jam packed with NicoMaki. Basically they did a full 180 because I believe that NicoMaki is like the most popular pairing and they were like "oh shit, we need to pander so we can make more money."

Basically they did a full 180 because I believe that NicoMaki is like the most popular pairing and they were like "oh shit, we need to pander so we can make more money."

To be fair, I only watched up to episode 8 of the second season. But season one had zero NicoMaki. They barely said three words to each other during the whole season, no significant glances or anything. And what I watched of season 2 wasn't much more, outside of that one scene people talk about. And honestly I was looking for it since everyone said season 2 pushed the pairing.

I dunno, maybe they stuffed it all into the last four episodes?

In any case, Nico got a personality transplant in the anime, so she's basically a different character with the same design. Then again, so did Maki (not being hostile to her parents, more closed-off), and the rest. Which is why I say it's possible to call NicoMaki canon for the manga, but not at all for the anime. The continuities are too different.

Season 2 had a lot more, but it's nothing like "OMG, Nico-chan I love you" so you won't find that.

I mean, I was looking for it because at some point I decided that maybe I do like this pairing from doujinshi, but when I looked for it in both seasons, I found zero in Season 1, which is why I was confused about where this pairing came from. My understanding is that the PV for Mogyutto "love" de Sekkin Chuu! is what made it. Season 2 had them interacting a whole lot more, but maybe because I was invested in the pairing I found it in Season 2 because it was a huge difference from Season 1.

Also, I can't read the manga because of their personalities because I am too used to the anime ones. I am fine with AU fan fiction though that might mess with them a bit, but they usually are like their anime counterparts.

Yeah, they totally interact more in season 2. But even then it wasn't as much as I was expecting given what people were saying. Most of it wasn't even them arguing, it was Nico doing the incompetent braggart thing again and it being Maki's turn to play tsukkomi.

I'll give her this, Nico is a lot more competent in the manga.

Unfortunately for English readers, the rest of the chapters is translated in Chinese by Chinese-speaking fandom.

You know something that just occurred to me...The school was getting shut down because declining birth rates caused a big drop in enrollment. So if they save their school by drawing students from elsewhere, doesn't that just mean somebody -else's- school gets shut down later?

School idol-ing is a vicious cycle.

English is the universal language.

I don't know if anyone can add this but chapter 24 is missing 3 extra pages at the end.

Ohmygod, what if that's why the school in Love Live! Sunshine is being threatened??

NicoxMaki being lewd xD

Meanwhile the Chinese manga site DM5 ALREADY translated 38 (plus chap 0) chapters.

Hasn't anyone else translated the rest of the chapters to english or spanish?

At least we're past the halfway point!

Dang it, really, this series isn't popular enough to get chapters 18-23 translated into English? That's so sad...

And chapters 27-39 aren't translated yet so even more chapters left.

Hmm, hi, I don't know if here is the place but recently I've bought the chapter 3 as I couldn't find it anywhere (its really cheap, 9 bucks to have it on home), anyway, I will translate it and I want to know how to upload the scans, it will take me some weeks but I want to know how to do it as this manga have been stopped some years

That's really nice. Here are the raws for volume 3 so you don't need upload the scans.

Since I assume you can read Japanese, how accurate is this rough translation for chapter 18 that I found?

oh! thats awesome, are you part of any group? i want to upload the complete work when i finish and i wonder if we can work together or if i can use those raws, i can edit and slowly translate the manga.
About the translation, i will take a look and i will tell you if i read something weird but i cant promise you anything as my Japanese is basic, i always need a dictionary for a lot of kanjis, i would like to have some method to contact with you as i think this is not the place for that kind of things.

Perhaps you can give me your email so we can talk to each other.
Also to answer your questions I'm not part in a group in a way, but I am helping people to translate the love live manga. Also, yes you can use those raws and other raws for volume 4 and 5 etc. Also there is technically an English translation for chapters 18-22 but it was translated from Japanese to Spanish to English so it might not be accurate the translation. That's why I am asking you to see if it is fine. Also the english translation for the chapter 18 that you see is bad in terms of editing and needs to be redone.

I see that all the time in manga, it's weird. Where on earth did they come up with the idea that sleeping with an exposed stomach, even in summer, would make you sick?
