User:FigureGunplaFan/Sandbox/Misconceptions and urban legends about Love Live!

Many misconceptions and urban legends have sprung up within the Love Live! fandom.

Most of the published manga in Love Live! are doujinshis.
While this is understandable due to the lack of exposure in the West (and to an extent, some parts of the international countries), the publisher "Manga (漫画)" has been translated and published the first few manga volumes, including the manga adaptations of the School Idol Diary novels.

The Anthology Comics are to the canon timeline, as they're approved and published by Dengeki G's.
False. Even though the anthologies are officially released by the publisher, The stories had no canonicity to any timeline as the stories are made by different artists that draw their own interpretations.

KLab (one of the developers for School Idol Festival) is also involved with every of the Anime's production.
KLab is only credited as a "Original Character Designer" for the Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Anime. The company has no involvement to the production of the previous Anime.

Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is the true 3rd Generation series.
As far we know, Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is confirmed to be a spin-off to the Anime franchise, as the series had no connections to previous continuities aside from mentioning the franchise's title.

Both "Everyone's Dream, My Dream and Blossoming Feelings are also storyboarded by ECO, given the subtext between Ayumu and Yu
As much we understand ECO's charisma as a Yuri fanartist, he only serves as a key animator for "Something I Can Only Do Right Now".

Love Live! Super Star!! will return to the School Closing-themed plot.
So far, the plot of Super Star! involves of the girls reopening an old school.

Both Eli Ayase and Nozomi Toujou are married, as seen in the visual featured in School Idol Diary SE chapter published in Dengeki G's.


But what if this marriage turns out to be a costume photoshoot? Even if they're married, the prose story on the very left of the visual would've mentioned their ceremony rather than telling one of Nico Yazawa's expositions, or even made their appearance as an adult couple in Sunshine!! to solidly confirm this.

Then again, this is still a ''strongly debatable matter. ''

The generic female seen in Uranohoshi Girls' High School is actually Umi Sonoda herself.
Her character design is loosely based on Umi's appearance.

Hanamaru Kunikida's Mother has been passed away, given her side plait hairstyle and her lack of appearance in the TV Anime.

 * As much we understand the common stereotype in various Animes, Hanamaru mentions that she is alive in the Blu-Ray exclusive bonus School Idol Diary chapter.

Haruka Konoe is actually adopted, given her different eye colors compared to her older sister Kanata and the other siblings such as Alisa Ayase and the Kurosawa sisters.
The idea of the siblings sharing the same eye colors is a common misconception in Asia.

Mia Taylor is the first fully-American School Idol.
Jennifer (who is also fully American) has previously appeared in Love Live! School idol festival before Mia did.

Kyoko (one of the three girls that studied in the same school as Rina) is voiced by Emi Nitta, given her likeness to the seiyuu and her voice vocally resembling Honoka Kosaka's.
Aside from the speculation and memes regarding her appearance, Kyoko is actually voiced by Yuki Kuwahara (桑原 由気).

Lanzhu Zhong is a mainlander.
She is actually born in Hong Kong. The reason why Lanzhu is viewed as such is mainly due to the Chinese/Cantonese-speaking audiences' great dislike to her actions in the game's 20th Chapter of the story.
