I'm sure that if KyoAni wants to make a season 3, they will do so and weave both stories into one.
The main thing you have to keep in mind is that I do not believe Azusa and co will lose contact with any of the 4 other girls now that they've split up. Ui will still keep an eye on Yui, as she'll be too concerned if she doesn't. Through Ui, Azusa will know what's becoming of the other girls and I'm sure that goes for Jun as well. The only thing I am interested in knowing is whether or not Azusa decides to go solo (possibly with Ui, Jun and a new member), or if she is hell-bent on rejoining HTT, assuming the band hasn't folded by the time she gets to JWU (assuming she'll go there too).

On the whole manga storyline thing...
To those fans who are looking for a more 'mature' narrative with romance and drama and conflict, sorry to say chances of any of that happening is very very low: 1) It's still a 4-Koma manga. 16 punchlines in 8 pages per month for each of the two series. K-On will be a comedy series with little conflict at all simply because the medium doesn't lend itself well to dramatic story-telling. Also the chapters pretty much have to end with a gag(There are exceptions, but well, exceptions are not predictable) 2) It's serialized in Manga Time Kirara. A collection of magazines where 90% of the serialized work don't contain a single male character. It is literally a hub of fluffy dramaless moe, home to no-male lands such as Hidamari Sketch, Kanamemo, G.A. Art Design, A Channel. Arguably the darkest work its serializing right now is the manga adaptation of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and the characters in that work probably all never had been in a heterosexual relationship either. What does all this mean? It means... 3) The target audience of the magazine are Otakus, not you. Manga Time Kirara is a self-proclaimed moe comic magazine, its target demographic are Japanese Otaku, not the general population, and certainly not us. Meaning yes, the manga will most likely cater to the Otakudom and their desire for their K-On girls to be 'shared by everybody'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And no, going to university does not automatically mean clubbing, entering relationships, drugs, and the works. People who thinks that watches too much TV. Moyashimon had in my opinion a pretty accurate depiction of college life, and theres no 'kareshi's nor 'kanojo's in the series. There was a lot of drinking, but most of the time it was well controlled. What am I looking forward to? College means a whole bunch of new and cool but not necessarily adult things. Yui and Ritsu doing Calculus and Physics should be fun(I bet at least 2 of the 4 girls will be in the same classes). Ui did state in the last Chapter of the K-On manga back last September that Yui has decided to live on her own. That's pretty much enough material for chapter 1, Yui moving into her new home, assemble a shelf, then tries to cook. Chapter 1 done. They might form/join a light music club in college as well, meaning new advisor who I hope is at least half as cool as Sawa-chan. Oh and we'll see Sokabe again because in the manga Ritsu said she goes to the same university, meaning there'll be another fan club or something once HTT played their first live. To conclude, you worrywarts should expect the same fun that made the first 2 anime series so popular in the first place. Its not like you guys hated it that way right? If Kakifly can make the High School cliches fun without resorting to ecchi, romcom, and angry people, imagine what he can do with university. Think positive.

@winhlp32
ARIGATOU!! XD exactly my thoughts but i just don't know how to express them! XD btw,i heard some people from 2ch find K-ON College BORING and UNINTERESTING now. i fear that this might be the start of k-on's fall? Otakus might not follow the series anymore bec. of this, & they'd just go after Azusa,Ui and Jun since they're still in HS.they don't want to see the 4 grow old tbh, i kinda love to see 'em in their early 20s..young adultsXD

I mean... if they find K-ON! boring, then why Kakifly bother making the continuation of the manga although he wanted it to end in the 4th volume?

*shrugs* prolly he's confident they'd still be interested with them in college(w/c might not go that way for some DX) anyhow, did kakifly originally intended the series to end in 4th volume? maybe yes, but that might've already changed after he saw how the first anime season took moedom by a storm.. XD

Besides, both the manga and 2nd season of the anime ended almost simultaneously, so I think his decision to continue the series isn't based on the 1st season, but the overwhelming requests from the fans instead

Basically what I'm hoping for is that KyoAni eventually adapts the new material into two cour (~24-26 episode) "seasons" like they did for Season Two, where they have time to expand a bit; unlike the whirlwind tour of the first season. Quote:

I think what we can all agree on is that there's a faction in 2-ch (not all of 2-ch) that are raving loonies and its unfortunate when they try to drive the bus.
