About Love Live
Love Live follows a new cast of school idols in each project, from the original μ's to Sunshine, Nijigasaki, Superstar, and Hasunosora. Every project stands on its own, so release order works and so does starting with any group that interests you.
Good to know
Nijigasaki closes with a three-part film finale whose last chapter is planned for winter 2026, and a Hasunosora TV series follows in January 2027. The Ikizulive Bluebird project has short dramas and music so far but no anime series yet.
