Otonokizaka High School stands on the border of three cities: Akihabara&mdash;a pop culture mecca that's evolving by the minute; Kanda&mdash;a conservative, cultured city where history and tradition reign supreme; and Jinbo&mdash;a quiet area reserved for a more mature, sophisticated population. Amidst this culture clash, the school now faces closure due to the enrollment of fewer and fewer students. 
With the school planning to close within three years, nine female students come together with one thing in mind&mdash;form a pop idol group to revive the school's popularity and keep it from shutting down. "In order to protect our beloved school, there's only one thing we can do... become pop stars!" 
Their goal is simple: Become an overnight sensation and use their nationwide media exposure to promote their school and bring in a wave of new students to the ailing area. A simple but solid plan, they figure. Naturally, they're nervous and wonder if this plan can really succeed, but for better or worse their new journey has begun... 
"All we can ask for is just a tiny bit of support from you. We truly believe that with your help, we can change the world around us. We will make our dreams come true!"

The second season of Love Live! School idol project. 
 
At the intersection of three cities—Akihabara, Kanda, and Jinbocho—the traditional Otonokizaka High was facing a crisis of being closed down. Second-year student, Honoka Kosaka, decided to become a school idol, a trend that has been growing in popularity, in order to increase the number of students applying for her school. With her childhood friends, Kotori Minami and Umi Sonoda, they combined their efforts to form the group, μ's. 
 
A while later, Maki Nishikino, a songwriter, Hanayo Koizumi, who always dreamed of being a school idol, Rin Hoshizora, Hanayo's friend, and Nico Yazawa, the president of the Idol Study Club, joined the group, all with the aim of entering the school idol festival, Love Live. 
 
Additionally, Eli Ayase, the student council president, and Nozomi Tojo, the student council vice president, joined μ's, bringing the group to a total of nine members. After overcoming many problems, ranging from the closing of the school to Kotori's study-abroad incident to μ's going on hiatus, what will the girls aim for next!?

The first "Love Live!" series comic adaptation by Shueisha!
 
Hasunosora Girls' High School, located in a remote area of Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, beside a lake with lotus flowers in bloom. At this high school, which was founded over 100 years ago, the traditions handed down from long ago still live. 
This is where an energetic girl called Kaho Hinoshita enrolls with the goal of "blossoming". After being frustrated at first for not getting what she is looking for, she will discover something that will change her vision of Hasunosora: school idols.

The Bloom Garden Party is finally here. It’s the stage where everyone will “someday, surely” bloom—the goal Kaho and the others have been chasing for a whole year. This is the first step.
 
The long-awaited day has finally arrived — the day when the promise they made with the graduates will come true. It was also the last day for the 103rd-year students, on the verge of graduation, could spend with their friends as students of Hasunosora.
 
―Even so, the girls race through their “youth” with all their might. This is the story of girls who struggled to bloom, a tale of dreams made real together.
