Love Live! Around the World

Love Live! Around the World (Japanese: ラブライブ！アラウンドザワルド Hepburn: Rabu Raibu! Araundo za Warudo) is a Japanese 20-episode anime miniseries developed by Sunrise and directed by Takahiko Kyogoku, marking his return to the Love Live! franchise. The series is a spin-off of the aforementioned series, centering around the nine school idols from Y.G. International Academy, who first appeared as N-Girls in the video game Love Live! School Idol Project. The series aired between October and December 2025, and was only originally meant to be a miniseries, but a multimedia project similar to School Idol Project and Sunshine!! was created after the series finished airing to expand it further due to its popularity, co-developed by by ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G's Magazine, music label Lantis, and animation studio Sunrise.
== Plot ==
It’s been almost two decades since μ's won Love Live, and since then, school idols have fallen out of fashion, but regular idols haven’t. Rebecca Meiers, a half-Japanese half-American girl who moved to Japan to be closer to her favorite school idols is distraught and disappointed at this. To save the school idol business from going extinct, she forms the first school idol group in years with her classmates at the Y.G. International Academy (Y.G. 国際学院 Y.G. Kokusai Gakuin) called SekAi. Their mission? To spread awareness of school idols to not just Japan, but the whole world, and to prove that even people with foreign blood like them can be idols as well. Unlike its predecessors, the series is more episodic in format and follows the girls’ misadventures as they visit different countries and perform around the world.
