Nah, there's a certain intrinsic value in impatience.

Well, a lot of these were reinforced by Nijiyon S2, and I suspect it's sort of the implication that she's the one writing it.

(Which raises questions about the episode with her and Lanzhu.)

Ayumu snapping was delightful.

Okay, that's just plain adorable.

Gorgeous. Myon does good work.

Oh my! Although it feels like the angel may be as much of a temptation as the devil.

Okay, from context this is going on the SIFAS timeline, just before the big joint training camp with μ's before Lanzhu was introduced.

Great look at Shioriko's crush on Ayumu, and Ayumu's attachment to Shioriko. I think the changes make the story stronger, particularly Ayumu's sleeptalking.

"Ayumu could also be the beast."

Yeah, the bit where she gets snuggled by DiverDiva is one of my favorite parts of Muteki-kyuu*Believer.

Such an interesting dynamic, and way of telling this story. Kaho is very straightforward, and Sayaka is all internally knotted up between her caring and desires, and I think she's half-convinced that Kaho and Kozue should be dating instead. Hmmm.

It is some of both. Mia's not particularly tall — at 156cm she's the same height as Yu or Yoshiko — but she is a year younger than Rina; meanwhile, Rina is the shortest girl in the franchise at 149cm, a full five centimeters shorter than Nico.

(The next ones up from Rina are Rurino at 151cm, Hanamaru and Natsumi at 152cm, and Leah at 153cm; Tsubasa, Ruby, and Setsuna are all the same height as Nico.)

To put her height in further perspective, if Rina were over in Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, she'd qualify for the spinoff that's all elementary school girls.

It's just me or all of Ayumu popular ship is with black haired girl?? I mean Yupomu, Setsupomu, and Shiopomu

Those are certainly the most popular, though I'd say there's still a following for LanPomu, KasuPomu, and RinaPomu.

I love the turn in this:

"No, Yu, you can't kiss Setsuna!" "Oh, thank god, someone reasonable." "Only I get to have a first kiss with Yu, so I'll kiss her instead!" "...or not."

Yeah, LanKasu is pretty great.

Yes, that was delicious.

(The R3BIRTH vs DiverDiva matchup, and Mia getting all competitive "even if I don't quite get it" — wonderful.)

You'd think after two seasons of Nijiyon Animation they'd have learned that lesson. (Though I suppose it was only Karin who got embarrassed in her dechibification.)

Aww, Ai is going for the other student council president after her Nijiyon episode about charming Shioriko.

I get the feeling that Nana is telling Ayumu how nice she smells again.

Awww, Kotori both panicking at "lover's lunch" and trying to get Honoka to remember the marriage promise — poor thing.

Whew — though I can't keep from laughing at Setsuna's logic through the whole thing.

Multishipping is a nice place to be in.

So is Setsuna's lap.

Oh, wow. This is pretty great. ShioPomu is one of my favorites, and this does it very well.

(The sidelight of Kasumi and Lanzhu being mutually "How lucky are you to be going on a date with me!" is pretty good too.)

Oh, she always is. Gotta find that tokimeki.

Shizuku the instigator. Yikes.

(I suppose since this isn't SIFAS, somebody besides Riko has to be the one secretly reading the smut.)

The MiaRina and subsequent fourth wall break were golden.

ShioPomu is pretty darn great. (Although I always feel compelled to bring up the bit in Shioriko's SIFAS bond story — chapter 17 — where Ayumu crashes a date between Shioriko and Ayumu's childhood friend, but somehow Shioriko doesn't mind this time. Anata's line goes, "Fine. I'll just have to hog the two of you then.")
