''To Heart 2'' is a Japanese visual novel developed by [[Creator/{{Aquaplus}} Leaf]]. It is a sequel/spin-off series of sorts to ''VisualNovel/ToHeart''; it is set in the same universe, albeit two years later with a completely new set of characters.

** Possibly the largest named harem in anime today, after the one in ''MahouSenseiNegima'', of course.

More recently, Aquaplus (Leaf's partner that releases Family Friendly versions of the ''To Heart'' games to the consoles) developed and released an EasternRPG [[GenreShift adaptation]], titled ''[[http://aquaplus.jp/th2dt/index.html To Heart 2: Dungeon Travellers]]'' for the PlaystationPortable, featuring all the girls up to ''Another Days'' in a fantasy setting (yes, [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot even the Robot Maids are there too]]), which in turn was adapted into an [=OVA=] in early 2012. ''To Heart'' characters also appear in Leaf/Aquaplus' fighting game collaboration with Examu, ''{{VideoGame/Aquapazza}}''.

* ContinuityNod - Marianne, Sasara's close friend, is from the same year as [[CuteBruiser Aoi Matsubara]] and [[PsychicPowers Kotone Himekawa]] from the original ''{{To Heart}}''.

* EarlyBirdCameo - The Himeyuri twins appeared in ''{{To Heart}}: Remember my Memories'' in a speaking cameo role. It is assumed that the disk that Sango gave to Nagase was [[ContinuityNod a copy of Ilfa's OS]].

** Konomi Yuzuhara appeared in the sixth {{Omake}} of ''{{To Heart}}: Remember my Memories'' as Akari Kamigishi's opponent. No one knows who won though.

* FanTranslation - The Visual Novel itself is interesting in that over the last 7 years there have been a number of attempts to translate To Heart 2, but they've all fallen apart with nothing to show for it. However there is presently a one man translation team out there that has translated a good number of the routes. It's a rather rough translation (the translator admits to skipping the proofreading because everyone wanted the patches so badly) but it gets the job done.

* TheOjou - Yuma's grandfather, who is somehow related to Kurusugawa Electronics, is supposed to let her inherit the family business.

* HeyItsThatVoice - Aside from JunFukuyama's more famous role as [[CodeGeass Lelouch vi Britannia]], a ton of the seiyuus here can be found in ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler''. Case in point: ShizukaIto as Tamaki Kousaka and Hinagiku Katsura, HitomiNabatame as Yuma Tonami and Yukiji Katsura, Rina Satou as Yuuki Kusakabe, Shiori Makimura, and her robot, Eight, Saki Nakajima as Karin Sasamori and Saki Kijima. And of course, that [[ActorAllusion thinly veiled]] [[strike:Watanuki vi Britannia]] Puppet Butler.

* FridgeBrilliance - During the school festival, Karin uses a video to extort Takkaki. While this may not be anything new, his memories of the event are arranged very interestingly. [[VisualNovel The upper right says it's in ''Memoir Mode'' and there's text on the screen describing the events in first-person, as he proceeds to fall onto Karin.]] [[BleachedUnderpants Yes, they went there.]]

To Heart characters also appear in Leaf/Aquaplus' fighting game collaboration with Examu, ''{{Aquapazza}}''.

* FirstNameBasis - Played with in the first episode of the ''adnext'' OVA series. Takaaki's [[HaremGenre Harem]] gets wind of the news that both him and Manaka are apparently on a first-name basis (thanks to Yuuji, who was acting out a hilarious sketch), and they all chase him around to get him to use their first names (in some cases, it's dropping any honorifics entirely). Some (particularly Ruuko, Yuma and Konomi) don't quite realise they were ''already'' on a first-name basis with him. Gets especially hilarious in Tamaki's case, as he ends up using a much more distant "Tamaki-sama". In fact, the robot maids even get in on it, and more surprisingly, [[spoiler:Konomi's mother, [[HotShounenMom Haruka]] gets in on it as well]].

* HotShounenMom - Haruka Yuzuhara, Konomi's mom.
** There's even a route dedicated for her in ''Another Days''!

* {{Bowdlerise}} - The PSP port of the game has [[http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/08/11/toheart2-checked-by-sony/ a ridiculous instance]] of this.

* ThisTropeIsBleep - Harumi does it in a supermarket. Good thing for Takaaki no one heard it. Whatever she said.

* GenreShift - ''To Heart 2: Dungeon Travellers''. With lots more FanService and FetishFuel. For starters, Tamaki dons an outfit with something close to an AbsoluteCleavage while Yocchi sports a ChainmailBikini.

'''This show provides examples of:'''

* TenchiSolution - See StatusQuoIsGod above.
** And in ''Another Days'', Tama-nee loves Konomi-chan so much that she agreed to share Takaaki with her, not wanting to lose a little sister just to get her man. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Aww...]]

* TallDarkAndBishoujo - Tamaki Kousaka; in fact she's OneHeadTaller than just about everyone else.

* BigBrotherComplex - Konomi's developing feelings for Takaaki in the last two episodes.

* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=] - Aside from JunFukuyama's more famous role as [[CodeGeass Lelouch vi Britannia]], a ton of the seiyuus here can be found in ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler''. Case in point: ShizukaIto as Tamaki Kousaka and Hinagiku Katsura, HitomiNabatame as Yuma Tonami and Yukiji Katsura, Rina Satou as Yuuki Kusakabe, Shiori Makimura, and her robot, Eight, Saki Nakajima as Karin Sasamori and Saki Kijima. And of course, that [[ActorAllusion thinly veiled]] [[strike:Watanuki vi Britannia]] Puppet Butler.

***** Maybe even [[BeyondTheImpossible Marianne and Ikuno... Not to mention Konomi's two friends (in Another Days) Michiru and Chie.]]

And of course, that [[ActorAllusion thinly veiled]] [[strike:Watanuki vi Britannia]] Puppet Butler.

* IllGirl - Manaka's sister Ikuno. [[IGotBetter She gets better]] in Manaka's route in the VisualNovel though. The second OVA episode [[ShoutOut references]] this by merely casting her in it, as she was previously not mentioned at all in the anime.

* GenreShift - ''To Heart 2: Dungeon Travellers''. With lots more FanService and FetishFuel. For starters, Tamaki dons an outfit with something close to an AbsoluteCleavage while Yocci sports a ChainmailBikini.

---> '''Yuuji''': "Even with his memory gone, he's always involved with girls somehow."

* PinkBishoujoGhetto - See the picture above.

* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Girls]] - Charu and Yocchi, Konomi's friends from junior high, in the original release. Subverted in ''Another Days'' as they become winnable this time.
