The girls decide on the group name "Liella!" and enter the Love Live. For the regional prelims, they find out that they have to rap. While the others struggle, Sumire displays impromptu rap skills and Kanon nominates Sumire as the center, but...

Liella! gets past the regional prelims. Chisato quietly tells the other second-years about the skill difference between them and the first-years, which may affect them going to the finals. Keke thinks things are fine as they are but Sumire seems uneasy.

Keke always thought that studying hard and doing well in school was everything, but something changed in middle school. Liella! gets a chance to perform at the Shanghai Fes because of Mengmeng. Meanwhile, Keke decides to go to college after high school...

Liella! heads to Kinako's home for a training camp to prepare for the finals. To bring everyone closer, they decide that both first- and second-years work together on the songwriting, choreography, and other duties. Meanwhile, Kanon ponders their sound.

Yuigaoka Girls' High School's first graduation ceremony is just around the corner. The first and second-years of Liella! are preparing for a third win at Love Live, so the third-years write one final song for them just before they graduate.

Natsumi's little sister, Tomari, joins the New School Idol Club and they begin their activities as Tomakanote. Their first show is an upcoming remote concert, but their motivations concerning school idols are totally different, causing some friction.

Liella! feels motivated more than ever after seeing Tomakanote's remote concert. To show Liella!'s new potential, Chisato chooses Shiki for the next center. Shiki is unsure why she's chosen for the center and passes out during practice from the pressure.

The girls have to place 1st at a local festival to stay school idols. Chisato & Keke try to help Kanon get over her fear but nothing works. Keke tells Kanon she'll sing alone this time. Meanwhile, one of the most prominent groups, Sunny Passion, joins the festival.

lovelive! Liella !, who showed her presence on the stage of the district qualifying, successfully passed the qualifying. At that time, Kanon and Chisago's alma mater's elementary school asked me to sing "Liella!". I agree, but I'm afraid. The elementary school stage was once the stage where the first incident that triggered Kanon to be unable to sing in public occurred. Chisago, who knows Kanon at that time, tells everyone about it again.

The first-year, Shiki Wakana, knows that her classmate, Mei Yoneme, loves school idols, but is having a hard time joining the School Idol Club, so she comes up with a plan. She decides to join Liella! herself and makes sure Mei finds out.

Kuukaa wins the special newcomer award at the Yoyogi School Idol Fes and the director allows them to continue their school idol activities. Meanwhile, Sumire Heanna joins the club to fulfill her showbiz dreams, but when they try to decide the center...

Liella! and Tomakanote had a successful performance in Shanghai. Liella! wants Tomakanote to join them, but Margarete still wants to beat them and Tomari also declines. But only one group can go to the Love Live. Kanon's solution is a sleepover?!

The losing team will have to grant one wish from the winning team. That was the promise Liella! and Tomakanote made for the school festival. Two members from each team: Mei, Natsumi, Tomari, and Margarete, were chosen to make the song for the competition.

With the addition of Sumire, the Yuigaoka School Idol Club now has 3 members. As they're cooling off from the heat at Kanon's house, they are unexpectedly visited by Sunny Passion, who invites the girls to perform with them at their home, Kozushima.

1st term is over and summer vacation is about to begin at Yuigaoka. The 1st gen students are one step closer to graduation so Keke and Kanon talk about their futures, but Keke is unsure of hers. During break, the girls head to Shanghai.

Liella! is finally all together. The 11 girls start training together, but Margarete is having trouble fitting in. Kanon wants Margarete to fit in, so she asks her to think of the formation for their next performance.

Kanon Shibuya takes the entrance exams for the music program at Yuigaoka Girls' High School. But she fails her singing test and ends up taking the general curriculum. She is approached by Keke Tang from her class who asks her to be a school idol with her.

Kanon and her friends train with Sunny Passion for their next concert. Meanwhile, Chisato is training for her dance contest, and Ren spots Chisato's withdrawal letter to the school. Kanon and Chisato talk that night over the phone, but they seem distant.

Ren is carrying the burden of Yuigaoka all alone since it's the school her late mother left behind. She asks Kanon & the others not to mention this even though she's facing backlash for saying that the school festival would be put on by the music program.

Did you succeed in the solo stage at your alma mater? The survival of the school has been decided, and love live with the five enthusiastic people! The outline of the Tokyo tournament arrives. The content was a remote format, and each district representative used the net to relay the live broadcast live. In other words, you have to prepare the stage yourself. It seems that Kanon isn't very particular about what kind of stage he should make while everyone comes up with ideas.

After a successful show at Kozushima, the School Idol Club welcomes Chisato, their 4th member. They are now starting a new term and find out there will be an election for the student council president. If Ren becomes president, it may affect their club.

People start to wonder what the future holds for Liella! & Tomakanote. The two groups bump into each other one day during training. They have a little scuffle, then Natsumi & Tomari run off somewhere. The girls chase them & they somehow end up in Ushiku.

Kanon heads to Vienna alone to finish her enrollment paperwork. Keke, Chisato, Sumire, and Ren decide their career paths for after they graduate. Meanwhile, the 2nd years try to come up with a song to ensure their victory at the Love Live.

Liella! now has 9 members after Natsumi joins and the Love Live is finally announced. There is no set theme this time for their song, so they excitedly get to work on it. Ren agrees to write the song, but Mei notices that she's been acting strange lately.
