A Love Live! Sunshine!! fantasy spin-off with an anime that debuted in 2023. Known as Yohane the Parhelion in English. Also subtitled "Sunshine in the Mirror".
The first mention of an anime was as an April Fool's 2022 joke on the official Love Live! YouTube channel (the original has since been deleted from the official channel, but not before being translated). On June 26, 2022, a separate dedicated twitter account as well as a live announcement at an Aqours live confirmed that the spin-off was in the works.
The series casts Aqours in a completely new setting, set in a fantasy world version in the land of "Numazu", named after the Shizuoka Prefecture city and its surroundings (including Uchiura) that Sunshine!! is set in, and stars Tsushima Yoshiko as Yohane (Yoshiko's preferred fallen angel name). It tells "the story that no one knows about a girl that everyone knows," where she journeys and meets fantasy versions of other characters.
