Sweet Memories is the first of 2 anthologies focused on Muse. Surprisingly enough, every chapter manages to be fairly consistent and that's pretty rare when there seems to always be some completely forgettable part in them. Even though they're not all brilliant, none of them feels like they were written by a complete amateur and every artist has a decent understanding of the characters and their dynamics to make it fun, and actually most of them already have some experience writing doujins or publishing professional manga.
Even the chapters that try to have emotional drama ("Apology Tarot" and "The Person You Seek Shall Arrive") managed to

be pretty effective, which is pretty rare for me; I especially liked how the latter gave more background to the relationship between Eli and Nozomi and explains how Nozomi got out of her shell. As for my top pick comedies, I enjoyed the ones centered on Maki, seeing her being awkward in a maid costume was fun but "My Santa" in which Maki learns that Santa doesn't exist is easily the most hilarious of them all, both in terms of expressivity and character interactions. Nakane Nata's nonsense and shitpost comedy in "μ's Kitchen" is also something I enjoy a lot but it might not be for everyone.
I certainly didn't expect to like it as much but Sweet Memories is a good anthology that I would recommend if you're eager for new Love Live material.
