Love Live! Sunshine!! (ラブライブ! サンシャイン!! Rabu Raibu! Sanshain!!?) is a Japanese multimedia project co-developed by ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G's Magazine, music label Lantis, and animation studio Sunrise. The project is a spin-off of Love Live! and revolves around a group of fictional schoolgirls who become idols in order to save their school from shutting down, just like the idol group from the original series. It launched in April 2015 with music CDs and anime music videos, followed by a manga version in 2016. A 13-episode anime television series produced by Sunrise and directed by Kazuo Sakai aired between July and September 2016. A second season has been announced for October 2017.
Love Live Sunshine!! is set in Uchiura, Numazu, Shizuoka where one of its schools, the ocean-side Uranohoshi Girls' Academy, is planned to be closed down and merged with another high school in Numazu. Chika Takami, a girl without anything she really desires, is inspired by μ's to gather friends and form their own school idol group called Aqours (アクア Akua?, pronounced "aqua"), seeking to promote the school to prevent that. In order to do that, they enter the same "Love Live" school idol contest once won by μ's, which is much more difficult than before thanks to its increase in popularity.
