W Wish
Since the death of their parents years past, Junna and Senna have been living alone in the big house their parents left them.
Together they attend Sakurahama Private High School, where several select girls obliviously use and abuse Junna for their own needs–Kishida Tomo, pretty and anti-social; the booksmart and efficient Iida Akino; Ohtori Tsubasa, head of the Help Club and highly in demand; Fujie Sana, cute as a button but with the intelligence of a box of rocks. And then there’s the new girl, Inohara Haruhi–an old childhood friend of Junna’s that’s come to claim her “onii-chan” (brother). Strangely, Junna barely remembers Haruhi from his childhood…and Senna doesn’t want him to.

Love Live!: School Idol Project
Plot Summary: Otonokizaka High School stands on the border of three cities: Akihabara – a pop culture mecca that’s evolving by the minute; Kanda – a conservative, cultured city where history and tradition reign supreme; and Jinbo – a quiet area reserved for a more mature, sophisticated population. Amidst this culture clash, the school now faces closure due to the enrollment of fewer and fewer students. With the school planning to close within three years, nine female students come together with one thing in mind—form a pop idol group to revive the school’s popularity and keep it from shutting down.
“In order to protect our beloved school, there’s only one thing we can do…become pop stars!” Their goal is simple: Become an overnight sensation and use their nationwide media exposure to promote their school and bring in a wave of new students to the ailing area. A simple but solid plan, they figure. Naturally, they’re nervous and wonder if this plan can really succeed, but for better or worse their new journey has begun… “All we can ask for is just a tiny bit of support from you. We truly believe that with your help, we can change the world around us. We will make our dreams come true!”

Super GALS
Ran Kotobuki is well-known as the #1 gal in Shibuya, and she lives to shop, eat, and have as much fun as possible. But she’s not all faux nails and para para; in the midst of all of her goofing off, she protects Shibuya from all manner of undesirable people, and she often devotes herself to helping both friends and strangers out of trouble, big and small. Of course, she’d rather be eating free food and scoring good deals on clothes, but getting someone out of a big pinch can be just as fun for her.
Because of this, she’s widely respected by the denizens of Shibuya, and although she may look (and even act) a bit shallow, she’s got a big heart and a sense of justice that could put her Police Chief father to shame. But she’s not interested in that line of work, much to her family’s dismay. All she wants is to hang out with her best friends Miyu and Aya, and continue spending her days as Shibuya’s #1 gal.
