Trivia

• Miyako Hito had previously worked as a fan artist prior to his official involvement.

Anthology Comic-based

• Tokita Arumi is the only official manga artist to be part of the Anthology comic.
  • Due to him using his signature art style for his submission titled "μ's Hospitality Operation", the canonicity for both the chapter and the manga adaptation's continuity is debatable in comparison with other non-canon chapters from various artists.
• Nakane Nata also worked on both the Anthology chapters and the Official 4Komas for Dengeki G's.
• As of late 2022, Liella! has yet to receive their Comic Anthology series.

Other

• The Kadokawa Gempak release of the Sunshine!! manga features censorship by editing the cleavage lines, airbrushing lingerie into one-piece underwears, and adding white shorts underneath the skirts.
