Main characters
The player assumes the role of Takumi Nishijo (西條拓巳 Nishijō Takumi?, voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino), the protagonist of Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu!.[2] While Takumi used to be a loner, he's started to try to pull things together and is on the path to becoming a regular person again.[2] He is still not good at talking to girls though.[2] Rimi Sakihata (咲畑梨深 Sakihata Rimi?, voiced by: Eri Kitamura) is Takumi's classmate and has a bright personality.[2] The opening movie also hints at Seira Orgel being a main character within the game, and introduces Seira's younger sister, Erin-fray Orgel.
Development
Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu! is the third collaborative work between 5pb. and Nitroplus after Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate. Character design is handled by Mutsumi Sasaki and the art of the game is being provided by Yukihiro Matsuo.[1] The scenario will be written by Naotaka Hayashi and the producer is Tatsuya Matsuhara.[1] Product design will be handled by Choco.[1] All of the staff above took part in the original Chaos;Head.
According to Tatsuya, the project was conceived during the development of Steins;Gate.[3] The Love Chu Chu! part of the game's name was actually narrowed down from a list of about one hundred candidates.[3] When told that it was rather embarrassing to say the title's name and asked about an abbreviation, Tatsuya jokingly insisted that the interviewer had to say "Love Chu Chu!" in its entirety.[3] Tatsuya however did note that some of the staff members abbreviate it as "CHLCC" while others call it "Kao Chu" (カオChu?).[3]
