Love Live! School Idol Diary: Honoka Kosaka

If your school was threatened with closure due to low numbers, what would you do? If you’re Honoka Kousaka, protagonist of the hugely popular anime Love Live! you might decide to get together with eight of your friends to form an idol group called μ’s to raise the school’s profile a little and attract more students so the school won’t have to close! This series of light novels retells the same story of the anime but from the point of view of each one of the nine μ’s members in turn. This time the group’s founder Honoka Kousaka steps into the spotlight for this first volume of the light novel series. Honoka is the driving force behind μ’s and is a cheerful optimist willing to stop at nothing to achieve her goal. If Honoka is your favorite μ’s girl, this excellent light novel adaptation is one you really need to read as you’ll get the entire story just as she sees it with a few extra backstory details thrown in too.
