9	ActorShipping is common in the series as a result of the massive HomoeroticSubtext from the characters that spills over to their voice actresses.

11	* [[http://youtu.be/mWW_IzzoXZQ?t=36s A [=NicoMaki=] moment]] adlibbed by their voice actresses, Pile and Sora Tokui.
12	* Nozomi x Eli has become so popular that their voice actresses are also shipped together in an identical manner. It doesn't help that they have natural chemistry together and play up their closeness for the fans, to the point of them crossing their fingers on whether Nanjo and Kusuda will eventually marry to each other after a ton of teases. Even after Love Live!, Kusuda Aina and Nanjou Yoshino have kept in touch.
13	** [[http://emitsunosaurus-rex.tumblr.com/post/162538946367/nanchan-birthday-acoustic-live-2017-report-i Kussun was the surprise guest for [=NanjoIno=]'s birthday back in 2017.]]

15	* One of the live stages had Yurika Kubo and Riho Iida covering their close eye contact to each other with a fan. This also made the audience imply that they actually kissed.

27	The Anthology manga chapters, being an ''official'' collection of {{fanon}} works, feature a number of daring, somewhat straightforward HoYay moments with little-to-''no'' subtext that is not entirely featured in the ''official stories''. Note that comic anthologies (of any series) are ''never'' considered canon unless [[WordOfGod creators]] themselves [[AscendedFanon say]] [[WordOfDante so]]. The product listings for the anthologies usually contain a line saying "different artists draw their '''own interpretations'''", which is basically a [[ThisIsAWorkOfFiction disclaimer]]. Read at your own discretion.

29	* Love Live! Anthology 1:
30	** ''We Tried to Think Seriously About Our Onstage Costumes'' by Ayakawa Riku: When Umi is asked to wear a baggy mascot outfit, Honoka joins her inside the suit to create the perfect shape. As both are practicing on how to move inside the costume, they accidentally bump into Nico when she enters the club room. Given how Honoka and Umi are in the suit while falling over Nico, god knows what they did inside after they lost balance.
31	** ''Lip☆Lecture 1, 2, 3! '' by Mizudama: Nico decides to buy Maki's missing Lip Balm...which the packaging obviously calls out that you could [[VeryFalseAdvertising kiss someone once you applied it]].
32	*** Nico teases Maki by getting close to her by acting in her "serious mode"...and then [[MomentKiller Honoka, Rin and Hanayo popped out of nowhere]], scaring the two just to tell Maki that they found her lip balm.
33	** ''Disorder'' by Kazehana Chiruo (aka Bisaid): Maki does the Nico Nico Nii to cheer Nico up.
34	* Love Live! Anthology 2:
35	** The second chapter submitted by Norio Tsukudani (author of {{Manga/Himegoto}}), titled [[http://nozoroomie.tumblr.com/post/121420878293/makkomakorinll-nicos-favorite-maki-chan "Nico's Favourite, Maki-chan"]], and it's filled, (seriously '''filled''') with [=NicoMaki=] yuri. Maki even plays a piano music dedicated to her.
36	* Love Live! Comic Anthology µ's Sweet Memories:
37	** ''My Santa'' by [[https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=1496320 Ripo Day]]: Once Maki found out that Santa isn't real thanks to Nico, Nico decided to comfort her by becoming Maki's "Santa".
38	** ''The Person You Seek Shall Arrive'': The chapter consists of Nozomi and Eli's childhood.
