Muv-Luv

Takeru Shirogane is a lazy, ordinary high schooler whose life revolves around his loud childhood friend Sumika. One morning he wakes up to find a quiet heiress, Meiya, in his bed, insisting they are fated to be together. What follows is the Extra section, a broad slapstick romantic comedy with several heroines to pursue.

Then the Unlimited section starts. One day Takeru wakes up to find himself in another world, one that looks familiar but has been reshaped by a long war. The tone shifts hard, and the light first half turns out to be building to something larger.

Muv-Luv works as a two-part setup. It ends with a complete story, but the full payoff is in its direct sequel, Muv-Luv Alternative. The Steam release is the all-ages edition, so this entry contains no explicit sexual content.
