Have you ever played one of the serious main stories from the “Science Adventure Series” and ended up mentally exhausted, thinking, “That wrecked me......”? If so, then we highly recommend this: “CHAOS;HEAD / CHAOS;CHILD Love Chu☆Chu! DOUBLE PACK.” Who would’ve thought that such a worldline could exist after all that heavy, tension-filled drama? It’s a collection of sweet, slightly silly, but undeniably healing romantic comedies that’ll make you say just that.

First up is “CHAOS;HEAD Love Chu☆Chu!” Takumi Nishijou, the utterly outrageous protagonist who can turn delusions into reality, suddenly forgets all the pain and confusion from the main story (maybe?) and finds himself in a shocking new scenario: surrounded by girls and drowning in attention. The six Gigalomaniac girls make their return, with a whirlwind of heart-racing events that bring them closer to Takumi. It’s chaotic, slapstick, and strangely addicting. His efforts to graduate from being an otaku and become a “normie” are laughable, relatable, and oddly charming—you’ll find yourself rooting for him.

Then comes “CHAOS;CHILD Love Chu☆Chu!!” set in Shibuya. The core of the original story—“the return of the New Generation Madness” incidents—has been completely cast aside in this unexpected twist. Newspaper Club’s Takuru Miyashiro isn’t after the truth this time—he’s after popularity. Learning romance techniques from magazines, he charges ahead with full-blown delusions, and the results are hilariously unpredictable. The way these delusions occasionally blur with reality is where the real fun lies. The balance of humor and heart-throbbing moments is spot on, and you can’t help but feel charmed seeing a whole new side of this usually serious character, even if you find yourself asking, “Was he always like this!?”

What’s most entertaining is how it throws away all the foreshadowing, psychological drama, and serious plot intricacies of the main story and dives headfirst into a sea of “I love her,” “She’s so cute,” and “I wanna smooch!” The characters are so blissfully happy that you can’t help but smile just watching them. This might be the perfect “healing reward” for players who endured the emotional heaviness of the original series.

“Love Chu☆Chu! DOUBLE PACK” is packed full of love for fans of the Science Adventure Series. It’s not just fan service—it boldly brings to life the “What if this character acted like this?” fantasies we’ve all had, making it, in a way, even more immersive in delusion than the original. If you loved the dark and heavy main story but want something more lighthearted while still deepening your affection for the characters—this is the game for you. Enjoy the hilarious chaos hiding behind their serious faces.
