text: to heart 2 to heart 2 ( , tu 2 ) , stylized as toheart2 , is a japanese romance visual novel developed by leaf and published by aquaplus . it was first released for the playstation 2 on december 28 , 2004 as an all - ages title , and was followed by an adult version playable on microsoft windows and subsequent all - ages versions for the playstation portable and playstation 3 . this deviated from the release history of the game 's predecessor , to heart , which was originally released with adult content prior to receiving versions with such content removed . the gameplay in to heart 2 follows a branching plot line with multiple endings , which offers pre - determined scenarios and courses of interaction based on the player 's decisions . its story centers on the male protagonist takaaki kouno , and focuses on the appeal of the female main characters . the game was positively received in both sales and popularity . its original playstation 2 release sold more than 82 , 000 copies in its first week of release in japan , and it was voted as the third best bishōjo game by the readers of dengeki g 's magazine in 2007 . it has since received several spin - off titles , including a sequel entitled to heart 2 another days , which was released on february 29 , 2008 for windows , and has also made transitions to other media . there have been six anime adaptations of to heart 2 : an anime television adaptation produced by 's team iguchi , which was first broadcast in japan between october 3 , 2005 and january 2 , 2006 ; and five original video animation series produced by aquaplus and chaos project . four manga series , fifteen sets of manga anthologies , three internet radio shows , two drama cds , and six novel adaptations based on to heart 2 have also been produced . gameplay to heart 2 is a romance " novel - type adventure game " in which the player assumes the role of takaaki kouno , who begins his second year of high school after reuniting with a childhood friend . much of its gameplay is spent on reading the story 's narrative and dialogue . the text in the game is accompanied by character sprites , which represent who takaaki is talking to , appearing over background artwork . throughout the game , the player encounters cg artwork at certain points in the story , which take the place of the background art and character sprites . a gallery of the viewed cgs and played background music is available on the game 's title screen . to heart 2 follows a branching plot line with multiple endings , and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game , the plot will progress in a specific direction . the game divides each school day of the storyline into four segments . these segments illustrate the events that occur during takaaki 's commute to school , during school , after school , and after he returns home at the end of each day . depending on the time of the day and the player 's actions , he or she may be presented one of three types of events : mandatory events , which occur automatically during certain points in the game 's plot line ; temporary events , which occur during certain periods of time only if specific conditions are met ; or after school events , which occur at the end of each school day . at the end of each school day , the player will be given the option to navigate to various locations within the game 's setting . each location is accompanied by an image of a heroine in order to allow the choices to be easier to make . throughout gameplay , the player is given multiple options to choose from . text progression pauses at these points , and depending on the choices that the player makes , the affection rate of the heroine associated with the event will either increase , decrease , or remain the same . this mechanism determines which direction of the plot the player will progress into , but influences the story only during konomi 's and karin 's plot lines . in the playstation 2 version , there are nine plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience , one for each of the heroines in the story except sango and ruri , who share the same plot line . this is expanded to ten plot lines in the windows and playstation portable versions with the addition of sasara 's scenario , and further expanded to eleven scenarios in the playstation 3 version with the addition of mio 's scenario . in order to view all of the plot lines , the player will have to replay the game multiple times and make different decisions to progress the plot in alternate directions . in all versions , the game also contains a bad ending in which the player is unable to pursue the other scenarios . this ending serves as the basis of the another days scenario in to heart 2 another days , which allows the player to pursue an additional seven heroines . to heart 2 x rated , the windows version of the visual novel , includes two additional minigames that serve to lengthen the experience the game provides ; these minigames do not affect the main plot in any way . in both minigames , the player controls one of the heroines from to heart 2 's storyline , who is made available upon the completion of her scenario in the main portion of the game . the first of the two minigames , titled " super sweets scramble " ( , ) , is a scrolling shooter in which the player 's goal is to progress through a vertically scrolling level , while attacking enemies that resemble confectioneries and dodging their attacks . the second , titled " dokidoki panic library " ( , dokidoki panikku ) , is a puzzle game in which the player competes against an opponent for the highest score , by connecting three or more books of the same color and eliminating them from the screen . plot and characters to heart 2 's story revolves around the male protagonist takaaki kouno , a high school student who has an aversion to most girls around him , and focuses on his interactions with his schoolmates . the story begins on march 1 , 2004 , when takaaki 's parents leave for an overseas business trip . that morning , konomi , takaaki 's childhood friend , comes to meet takaaki for their commute to school . konomi is a cheerful and innocent , but childish girl . she is one year younger than takaaki , who often views her as a younger sister . the two are also friends with yuuji , who is in the same class as takaaki . despite being the son of a wealthy and prestigious family , yuuji has a frivolous and carefree personality , and often flirts with the girls at school . takaaki later reunites with tamaki , another childhood friend , who had promised to return before being enrolled into a boarding school . tamaki has a strong and dominant personality , and tends to act as an elder sister figure to those around her . she later transfers into takaaki 's high school upon the beginning of the new school year . throughout the story , takaaki meets several other heroines attending his school . the first is manaka komaki , a timid , clumsy , but accommodating girl who is the vice class representative of takaaki 's class . she spends time in the school library 's storage , and helps the library committee with general tasks . similar to takaaki , she is inarticulate around the opposite gender . manaka is also close friends with yuma , an aggressive girl who commutes to school by a mountain bike . yuma sees takaaki as a rival after she first met him at school , and often challenges him to various duels . she often laments her grandfather 's insistence of having her take over the family business , and attempts to hide her family background from takaaki . karin is a schoolmate of takaaki 's and the founder of the school 's mystery club . karin has a cheerful and energetic personality , and has an odd affection towards the occult and objects such as egg sandwiches . she first meets takaaki early in the story , and later deceives him into joining the mystery club . sango is an underclassman who takes a liking to takaaki . she is lively and innocent , but also intelligent . she is in particular proficient in computer - related subjects , and designed multiple humanoid maid robots as an engineer for kurusugawa electronics . ruri is another underclassman of takaaki and sango 's younger twin sister . in contrast to her older sister , ruri has a bad - mouthed and hostile personality . she is very protective of sango , and often regards takaaki 's interactions with her in bad faith . lucy maria is a girl whom takaaki meets one day on his way home . she has a calm personality , and opens up to very few people except him . lucy claims to be an alien , and speaks a unique language she calls the " language " ( , ) . she later attends takaaki 's school under the name . yūki kusakabe is a gentle and well - mannered girl who often lingers in the school building at night . she was one of takaaki 's classmates in elementary school , but has since transferred away because of her parents ' divorce . two heroines were subsequently added to to heart 2 's story in later versions of the game . sasara becomes the student council president of takaaki 's school during his second year . she inherits her position from the previous president ma - ryan , as she is the only remaining student council member after the latter 's graduation . sasara is very diligent , often completing all of the student council 's tasks by herself . she is often feared by students for her strict attitude , but is actually disguising a shy and gentle personality . mio is takaaki 's classmate . she remains largely unnoticed by other students , most of whom remain oblivious of her name . she originally ties her hair up and wears eyeglasses , but later wears contact lens and her hair untied as an attempt by takaaki to change the impression she gives to others . development to heart 2 's development originally began as a collaborative effort for the playstation 2 between the osaka and tokyo studios of aquaplus . during one of the staff meetings for the partnered project , to heart 2 was conceived when a staff member jokingly mentioned the possibility of a sequel for the original to heart . production began shortly after once the team realized the popularity and success of the forerunner . naoya shimokawa , the president of aquaplus , produced the resulting project , and tsutomu served as the game 's director . the work on the game 's scenario was split between four writers . shōsuke miyake drafted the game 's overall storyline as well as the scenarios for sango , ruri , and lucy ; makura wrote the scenarios for manaka and yuma ; takeshi marui for karin and yūki ; and for konomi and tamaki . likewise , the game 's character designs were split amongst four artists . misato provided the character designs and illustrations for konomi and yuma ; hisashi kawata for lucy and karin ; for tamaki and manaka ; and takeshi nakamura for sango , ruri , and yūki . the game 's music was composed by shimokawa , junya matsuoka , shinya ishikawa , , and michio kinugasa . since the development staff had an equal number of writers as illustrators , it was originally planned to pair each illustrator with a single scenario writer ; was also to provide designs for the main heroine . though this would have simplified the project 's work load by easing communications among the staff , the idea was scrapped once the staff realized that the final product might merely be a collection of four distinct pieces . ultimately , writing and design responsibilities were divided based on the staff members ' individual preferences . the staff also commented that the development team faced communication difficulties because of the physical distance between the two aquaplus studios . early in production , members from both studios gathered in a single location to discuss development , but as production progressed , they began to rely on other methods of communication such as telephone calls and instant messaging . noted that these methods made it complicated for the writers and illustrators to communicate effectively , and during the development of to heart 2 x rated , miyake took a two - month - long business trip to osaka to rectify the problem . rather than creating a new setting for to heart 2 , the development team chose to roll over various inherent features from the original . the majority of the game is set within the same school and town , but instead focuses on the northern side of town , rather than the southern side , which is the primary setting of to heart . the story is set two years after to heart , and its lack of mobile phones was an attempt to replicate the technological themes of its predecessor . despite the story 's inclusion of maid robots , the writers stated that the story 's setting was influenced by the 1990s , during which to heart took place . as the only artist to return from the original 's development team , kawata was consulted by the other illustrators for character designs . he commented that the other artists attempted to create their designs with respect to the previous work , but he decided otherwise by attempting to " shape a new image " for the designs . the illustrators avoided creating a character with green hair as a heroine , because of the overwhelming impression the character multi had left them in to heart . miyake noted that it was difficult for him to write the scenario for to heart 2 because the game 's development began during the time he was writing december when there is no angel , and ruri and sango 's original scenario had to be rewritten because of their overwhelming resemblance to the latter title . release history to heart 2 was first released as an all - ages title for the playstation 2 on december 28 , 2004 in three versions : a limited edition , a deluxe edition , and a regular
