Synopsis

[edit]

Characters

[edit]

The player assumes the role of Takumi Nishijo, who used to be a loner; he is starting to become more social, but still finds it difficult to speak to girls. Among other characters is Takumi's classmate Rimi Sakihata.[1] The game introduces a new character, Erin-Frey Orgel, who is Seira Orgel's little sister.

Development

[edit]

Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu! was the third collaborative work between 5pb. and Nitroplus after Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate. Character design was handled by Mutsumi Sasaki and the art of the game was provided by Yukihiro Matsuo.[2] The scenario was written by Naotaka Hayashi and the producer was Tatsuya Matsuhara.[2] Product design was done by Choco.[2] According to Tatsuya, the project was conceived during the development of Steins;Gate.[3] The Love Chu Chu! title was narrowed down from a list of about one hundred candidates.[3] The game is described by the developers as an "exploding delusions ADV" (妄想爆裂ADV, Mōsō Bakuretsu ADV).[2]

The opening theme, Synchro Shiyouyo (シンクロしようよ, Shinkuro Shiyouyo) was performed by DystopiaGround's Nao, with lyrics and music written by Chiyomaru Shikura.[4] The ending themes were performed by Kanako Itō and Sakakibara Yui.[5] The PlayStation Portable version uses the song "Let's Mount Some Flags/Tags" (フラグ立てようよ Furagu Tateyou Yo), also by Nao, as its opening theme.[6]

Promotion and release

[edit]

An Internet radio show for promoting Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu! aired every Thursday starting on February 11, 2010.[7] The show was hosted by Akane Tomonaga, the voice actress of Seira Orgel, and Emiri Katō, the voice actress of Erin-fray Orgel.[7] The CD single for the game's opening theme was released on March 31, 2010.[8] The PSP opening song, along with the original ending themes, were released on the CD single PSPソフト「CHAOS;HEAD らぶChu☆Chu!」主題歌.[6]

Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu! was released on March 25, 2010 in both regular and limited editions.[2] The limited edition of the game comes with a microfiber towel with an illustration by Mutsumi Sasaki[9] and a special Dengeki G's Chaos;Head Festival! (電撃G's CHAOS;HEAD Festival!) magazine.[10] The magazine includes a collection of visuals, interviews with the cast, the artists and Chiyomaru Shikura, and a short story written by Naotaka Hayashi.[10] A PS3 version of Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu! was released on November 22, 2012 along with Chaos;Head Noah.[11] A PlayStation Vita edition titled Chaos;Head Dual, featuring both Chaos;Head Noah and Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu!, was released on August 21, 2014.[12]
