I really enjoyed the Love Live anime so I thought I would check out the original manga and boy was I in for a shock. It's completely different from the anime. Firstly the characters are more serious and there's bits of drama here and there and secondly the manga is oozing with yuri all over it. Not to mention some characters are out of place (Example: Nozomi isn't in the student council, Nico's hairstyle is different) Like holy shit, is any of this even canon?

The fact it's written by the queen of large family harems explains the drama and yuri (she also made Strawberry Panic). It's more of an alternate universe, something else she's done with another series in the past (Sister Princess).

Is there any official statement on which is alternate and which is canon?

*immediately puts it on PTR list*

This was the one thing the anime unfortunately lacked that would've made it ten times better.

If I had to guess, it's probably the case that the anime is considered the official canon, whereas the mango, School Idol Diary, SIF, etc.

I loved both but various things about the manga I wished they had implemented into the anime, like the strong yuri, more serious tone and some of the character's differences in backstory and personality. (Manga Nico and Eli FTW)

According to wikipedia, Love Live anime(manga) is written by Jukki Hanada.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Live!

But MAL here stated Sakurako Kimino is the original creator for Love Live.

What's the difference and did wikipedia or MAL make mistake?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.
