History VideoGame / LovePlus

** The school neighbouring Towano High School is called Tonarino High 戸鳴野高校, which can be read as 隣の高校, or "the neighbouring high school".

* TheParody - An HGame entitled ''Debu Plus'' (roughly "Fatty Plus") parodies ''Love Plus''. It features a female character who resembles all three ''Love Plus'' heroines combined into one FatGirl.
** Deconstruction: May have one in HatePlus, though it combines a lot of other stuff as well...

** In the 3DS games,

* HairDecorations - Manaka and her bow naturally; all three can acquire this by changing their hairstyles. Of note is that Manaka's bow colour changes according to day of the week.

''Love Plus'' is a DatingSim by {{Creator/Konami}} for the Nintendo DS, and a SpiritualSuccessor of the ''Franchise/TokimekiMemorial'' series. The game is split into two parts. The first part consists of fairly standard dating sims fare: the player attempts to woo the affection of one of the three datable girls. If the player is successful in this endeavor (and yes failure is an option), the second part of the game begins.

** One of Manaka's dream sequences is designed with the classic ''TokimekiMemorial: Forever with you'' game engine and character artstyle.

* CelebrityParadox - SaoriHayami (the voice actor of Manaka Takane) appears as one of the performers in the [[http://i.imgur.com/MkluLxy.png Live House]].

* JustifiedTutorial - Upon reaching the second part of the game, You have the option to practice showing physical affection ([[FreudWasRight not quite that type of affection]]) towards your girlfriend. Accepting the practice makes you daydream about doing so, and the game will make sure you know every location you can and cannot touch and how to kiss your girlfriend. Unfortunately for those lacking a translation guide, you WILL need to be able to follow the directions on the "top" screen, and non-Japanese players people have gotten stuck in this tutorial.

* FirstGirlWins - easily invokable by the player (ridiculous planning can make it to where the other two girls don't ever show up after their initial introduction which is mandatory), however the "first girl" depends entirely on what type of home the player picks.

** Through interacting with the girls, the player can influence not only their personalities, but also [[VirtualPaperDoll what they wear]]. However there is no in-game way of seeing all the possible hairstyle and outfits and it's not entirely clear what will affect a girl's fashion sense, although she will ask for the player's opinion occasionally. Therefore, without a guide, it'd very difficult to shoot for a particular combo. The internal personality values of the girl consistently change with every interaction, although it can only manifest itself as one of three different personalities (per girl).

** There's also a doujin company called Grand Cross that releases erotic fangames of popular series but following the game's mechanics. Some examples are [[LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan Nyaru Plus]] and [[YuruYuri Yuru Plus]].

* [=LovePlus+=]: An Updated Rerelease, released [[http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3178470 Summer 2010]]. The summer season was chosen due to the large amount of summer-oriented events that can unfold in the second half of the game, such as vacation trips that let you spend two days and a night at the beach, a hot-spring resort, or some other weekend getaway. The vacation will differ from traditional gameplay because it will allow events that occur throughout the entire day, instead of the usual four event per day limit. It will also be possible to sleep with your girlfriend. ''No, not like that.'' Just lying in bed and talking with her. Other extras include new daily events, additional outfits and hairstyles for the girls, a new mini-game for LovePlus mode, the ability to exercise with the girls, DLC via special Love Plus hotspots, and the ability to import a Love Plus file to the newer version.

* AdaptationDistillation - The manga have been accused of this, especially Nene Days and Manaka Days. Both protagonists have already started dating, essentially cutting out the plot from the first half of game.

* HighSchool - The game's main setting.

** One of the films available to view at the cinema in-game is ''Dark Helmet'', a sci-fi about a man who wears a helmet and wields a laser blade. Now, which ''Franchise/StarWars'' [[DarthVaderClone character]] wears a helmet…

** The image for ''Ever After'', another in-game film, resembles the iconic "I'm flying" scene from ''Film/Titanic''.

* GoingThroughTheMotions - The 3D models of the girls can show a variety of emotions, especially the faces, doing fairly well considering the difficulty of doing 3D on the DS. However, it's clearly not on the level of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', but the facial expressions are still far better than ''NeverWinterNights2''.

* ActorAllusion - There is a live performance event in the game by a SaoriHayami.
-> Idol Singer「Hayami Saori」Angel Live Performance Chu~♥

** Kanojo no Kako (Her Past) - By Wakiyama Hiroaki (of Shuukyuu Shoujo). A side story about Ringo's backstory.

* FanTranslation - As of January 2012, [[https://sites.google.com/site/loveplustrans/home the English patch]] is considered complete. The Chinese translation was released on Valentine's Day 2010.
** There's supposedly even a patch to patch the Chinese fan translation from simplified Chinese to traditional Chinese. Given the resolution of the DS screens, this troper can't imagine certain words being very legible without the proper context.
** There's also English and Chinese fan translations of the manga.

* NoExportForYou For the first and second games, this is confirmed. Whether or not this will continue into the 3DS version as rumored, is unknown (due to the rumors that Konami is doing "Market Research" for what is presumably a US release for the 3DS sequel)

** She's noticeably not wearing one when she started to become closer with the protagonist.
