Japanese game developer Odd Number and related companies Ignis and Pulse have entered bankruptcy proceedings after the Tokyo District Court issued commencement orders on August 5. According to Tokyo Shoko Research, Odd Number had liabilities of approximately ¥10.32 billion as of December 2024. The company developed and operated Link! Like! Love Live!, the mobile app at the center of the Love Live! Hasu no Sora Jogakuin School Idol Club project, which ended service on June 30 after operating since May 2023.

Odd Number had struggled with substantial development and operating expenses. By the end of 2023, the company reported a net loss of roughly ¥5.6 billion and liabilities exceeding its assets by about ¥6.8 billion. The liabilities of Ignis and Pulse are still being investigated, and available reporting does not establish that Link! Like! Love Live! alone was responsible for Odd Number’s financial collapse.

The bankruptcy ends Odd Number’s involvement with the discontinued game, but the broader Hasu no Sora project is continuing independently. The official Love Live! website currently lists a new television anime series beginning in January 2027, and other franchise activities remain scheduled. No official announcement indicates that Odd Number’s bankruptcy will delay or cancel those projects.
