Main Attractions

So what exactly are you getting for the price of admission? Let us give you the rundown. Just be warned that there are spoilers ahead, so series newcomers should tread lightly!

This compilation contains the following three Muv-Luv adventures:

Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles: Adoration

A novella-length spinoff title set in the world of “The Euro Front,” which offers a rare glimpse into what the world of Muv-Luv Alternative is like outside of Japan.

When an uptight Japanese cadet gets stationed at a British military base during the final leg of his Royal Guard training, he thinks he’s got it all figured out. But he soon discovers that there’s more to being a surface pilot than sheer discipline when he’s assigned to the Cerberus Battalion, an esteemed TSF corps full of elite but eccentric surface pilots. Alongside a trio of buxom babes whose frisky flirtations throw him off at every turn, he’ll have to learn to loosen up and adapt to the unexpected in order to truly understand what it takes to be a soldier.

Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles: Resurrection

One month prior to the events of Muv-Luv Alternative, a cybernetic soldier named Silvio Orlandi arrives at Yokohama Base to work security detail at an upcoming Alternative Program summit — though in truth, he’s an undercover agent sent by the European Union for the express purpose of gathering classified intel about Alternative IV, as well as any other concerning projects the enigmatic Professor Kouzuki might have in the works.

Upon arrival, however, he quickly discovers that this won’t be a simple recon mission, as the Professor’s personal detachment — the Valkyrie Squadron — seems perpetually poised to distract him at every turn. And yet, their playful attitudes and suggestive antics seem to indicate that they have no real intention of obstructing his mission… but could it truly all be just a coincidence? Or is there more to this situation than meets the eye?

Altered Fable: A Shimmering Shard of Spacetime

The long-awaited follow-up to the original Muv-Luv saga is finally here! Picking up directly where Muv-Luv Alternative left off, Takeru returns to the wacky rom-com world of Muv-Luv Extra, only this time, things are more than a little bit different! The multiverse may have been mended, but now this Love Nucleus has even MORE girls to choose from! Let the harem hijinks begin!

Serving as a homecoming for the series in more ways than one, this “reimagined” version of Extra (often called “Final Extra”) is the perfect bookend to Takeru’s story. If you consider the trilogy as a multi-course meal, then this is the dessert — a sweet and scrumptious reward for powering through the daunting entrée that is Muv-Luv Alternative. You’ve swallowed every tough pill, every morsel of pain and despair that game could throw at you; now it’s time for some well-deserved rest. Reconnect with all your favorite characters one last time in this massive, celebratory sendoff to one of the greatest casts in gaming history.

When we last left Takeru, he’d just been introduced to his new classmates — the multimillionaire Meiya, her courtly sister Yuuhi, and the timid transfer student from overseas, Kasumi. Our story picks up with a class cook-off to determine who gets the privilege of sitting next to Takeru, but this is quickly overshadowed by a much more interesting reveal two days later.

It seems Kasumi won’t be the only foreigner to grace the halls of Hakuryo Prep this year, as the school board has decided to participate in an all-new “teacher exchange program,” welcoming faculty members from all over the world in an effort to broaden students’ horizons. And wouldn’t you know it — these new temps all just so happen to be familiar faces we met back in Muv-Luv Alternative. Yes, even the Valkyries are here, as Hakuryo alums brought in by Yuuko to tip the scales during the school sports festival. All the characters you know and love are here in this rip-roaring redux — many of whom we never even met in the idyllic world of Muv-Luv Extra!

So you see, this isn’t just a simple rehash of Extra. No, this is an all-new adventure with all-new friends and possibilities. This is Final Extra.

Join Takeru and the gang as they take part in all sorts of zany antics, from a school-wide airsoft tournament, to hitting the slopes at a mountain hot spring lodge, to getting caught up in an international conspiracy, to learning the true meaning of Christmas, to an all-expenses paid tropical island getaway — where Takeru might just have the chance to live out his wildest fantasies with the apple of his eye. Anything can happen in this new, rewritten reality — this Altered Fable — and it’s your story to unfold.
