The basis for Chika's house/inn also changed their name for April Fool's:

I thought it was about You, the character, based on the title alone. Shame on me...

By the way, how did Nozomi get placed in "Pure" by SIF?

Smile seems to be designated as the energetic playful cuties so you have Rin, Honoka, Nico (aka the San Baka) for µ's and Hanamaru, Chika, Mari for Aqours.

Cool is definitely the cool, mysterious and elegant types like Maki, Umi, Eli for µ's and Yoshiko, Riko, Dia for Aqours.

Pure seems to be reserved for shy, innocent, motherly types such as Hanayo, Kotori, Nozomi for µ's and Ruby, You, Kanan for Aqours.

Nice! Last time, they said they would not be working on it. Glad that's not the case now.

I liked it, until that last panel.

I interpreted it as Nozomi's one-sided love for Eli.

Isn't this somewhat canon?

Mimika looks good as an adult.

I wonder if Dia would be glowing if she ever met Eli.

I don't want to call it pandering, as I feel that has a negative connotation, but it was probably like the team going "oh NicoMaki is super popular so let's give the fans something to actually indulge in."

It's not pandering. They're just correcting what should have been done in the first place, considering the ship's popularity before the anime.
Also, S1 had some low key moments between the two such as this and this.

Compare that to how much more open they are in S1E1. They've grown much closer (and clingier) offscreen, which is a shame since we missed the development.

Why does it feel like it's ending?

Between this and Bright and Cheery Amnesia, fireworks displays are getting pretty lewd these days.

You should have seen the A Kiss and a White Lily version.

NicoMaki's pocky is pink.

Happy birthday, Umi!

Needs NSFW tag

No nudity means no NSFW tag. Though this does bring up the question on whether we need a new tag now.

I can suggest a few: Sexcercise or Sex on page 6

I always wondered at the fan notion that the two idol groups are separated by lots of years. In my mind, they're three years apart. Both Love Live! SIP and Love Live! Sunshine existed for a couple of years before their animes, so SIP would take place around 2011-2013 and Sunshine around 2014-2016. That doesn't negate Dia saying Muse was "legendary" since 3 years is a long time in high school years.

It's 5 years in anime canon.

Needs NSFW tag

i'll cry too if i got to meet my idols

If Dia cried, how about Chika?

Why not show them how it's done Nico?

That was really creepy, Mimika...

It's the first time a couple has said that they're going out.

Chiharu said she was "going out" with Izumi actually (volume 2 extra). And Mizuki freaking proposed to Moe, so there's that.

I had forgotten Chiharu and Izumi.

But Mizuki and Moe never did refer to themselves as "going out" but we know their relationship from their actions.

A confirmed yuri couple is in the extra page. I think this is the first time that this has happened.

It's the first time a couple has said that they're going out.

This was really nice. I kind of thought it was Peg for just a moment. Nice to see a new author, hopefully there's much more from them.

Glad to see that I wasn't the only one thinking of Peg when I saw this.

Girl with odango hair is Lanhua.

The anime is good. Just mute when Karen sings.
