Love Live! Nijigasaki - Episode 10 - Girls Jump in the Pool

The School Idol Club training camp at school turned into a summer pool vacation.

The girls weren't so happy with Setsuna when they learned their summer break training camp was going to be at school, but then they started using the five-star resort facilities to make great food, and things started looking better. Setsuna's stew never looked better, but at least Kanata rescued its flavor before they serving dinner. No word whether Setsuna borrowed Mari's Stewshine Recipe.

Kasumi was dead set on making their training camp experience have real training camp events, like scary pranks or pillow fights. The older girls shut her down on both scores totally by accident. Meanwhile, Love Live! Nijigasaki established the yuri bait drama to carry us into the season finale by having Ayumu think she saw Setsuna and Yuu share a tender moment.

On the night the girls decided to use the school pool, they discovered they all brought cute swimsuits, Setsuna included, when they were supposed to expect boring days of physical training and performance practice. Since all nine idols already had their performances in the previous episodes, the pool episode was a good substitute for a visually engaging song and dance routine. The pool montage was extremely visually engaging!

Yuu has been the school idols' number one fan and production assistant, but she does have musical talent and is a good talent scout. She realized she wanted to be an idol promoter and producer too, and her first big goal will likely lead to the big event for the season finale – A School Idol Festival like she saw at Diver Fes. I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to drive dramatic tension between Ayumu and Yuu during the organizing phase. Let the yuri bait NTR flow!
