LL And outburst
Of course, this is a top-priority target! The 2004 superoutburst occurred in June and no good observations were reported.
See https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004PASJ...56S.135K/abstract for the 1993 superoutburst. Determination of the superhump period is very important.

LL And: showing superhumps
Kyoto Univ. Obs. has reported the time-resolved observation of LL And. LL And indeed shows a modulation likely a superhump, however the data was not enough to decide its profile and period.
More continuous follow-up observations are needed to explore its nature!
Best, Yusuke
