'"Extra'' is largely written as an OriginStory and thus contains a great deal of foreshadowing. We are introduced to Takeru, the girls he knows, [[AmbiguousGender Mikoto]] and Takeru's two teachers, Yuuko and Marimo. Since the story is written primarily to establish Takeru as your standard dense harem protagonist, it wildly embraces every harem cliche it can find so as to contrast more with the latter portions of the story. Hidden beneath the childhood friends and wacky hijinks are a surprising amount of little details that do not become relevant until far later in the story as a whole.

''Muv-Luv Extra'' is the first of the trilogy encompassing the Muv-Luv visual novels. It tells the story of an average high school student named Shirogane Takeru and his childhood friend Sumika. At the very beginning of the story, Takeru wakes up to find a ridiculously wealthy girl named Meiya sitting next to him in bed, at which point [[PatientChildhoodLoveInterest Sumika walks in to wake him up like always]]. [[{{Tsundere}} She doesn't]] [[ClingyJealousGirl take it well]]. The love triangle between these two then proceeds forward and completing both is required to unlock ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvUnlimited'', though there are three other heroine routes and a bad end focusing on the teacher character.

** Pay no mind to the fact that Meiya looks very similar to [[KimiGaNozomuEien Mitsuki]] and Sumika looks similar to [[KimiGaNozomuEien Haruka]] or that Sumika gets hit by a car in "Extra" in blatant reference to Haruka's accident in KimiGaNozomuEien. Don't worry, this is only played for laughs and Sumika gets better pretty much immediately. As you might have guessed, like Haruka and Mitsuki, Sumika and Meiya are the main heroines in this game. As a bonus, the song "Muv-Luv" is sung by Haruka's voice actress and is apparently, by "WordOfGod," a song about Sumika. To make up for it, the personalities between Meiya/Mitsuki and Sumika/Haruka are completely different.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Muv-Luv'']]

''Muv-Luv Extra'' is the first of the trilogy encompassing the Muv-Luv visual novels. It tells the story of an average high school student named Shirogane Takeru and his childhood friend Sumika. At the very beginning of the story, Takeru wakes up to find a ridiculously wealthy girl named Meiya sitting next to him in bed, at which point [[PatientChildhoodLoveInterest Sumika walks in to wake him up like always]]. [[{{Tsundere}} She doesn't]] [[ClingyJealousGirl take it well]]. The love triangle between these two then proceeds forward and completing both is required to unlock ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvUnlimited'', though there are three other heroine routes and a bad end focusing on the teacher character.

'"Extra'' is largely used as setup for the next two parts of the story and thus contains a great deal of foreshadowing. To help set up those two stories, we are introduced to Takeru, the girls he knows, [[AmbiguousGender Makoto]] and Takeru's two teachers, Yuuko and Marimo. Since the story is written primarily to establish Takeru as your standard dense harem protagonist, it wildly embraces every harem cliche it can find so as to contrast more with the latter portions of the story. Hidden beneath the childhood friends and wacky hijinks are a surprising amount of little details that do not become relevant until far later in the story as a whole.

See ''Franchise/MuvLuv'' for the other works in the series. The story is directly continued with ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvUnlimited.''

!!This work provides examples of:
----
* AbuseIsOkayWhenItIsFemaleOnMale: Played straight and inverted - Takeru hits Sumika just as much as she hits him, but it's PlayedForLaughs on both sides.
* AnimeHair: The entire main heroine cast in ''Extra'' has bizarre hair.

* BleachedUnderpants: The all-ages versions of the trilogy censor the H-scenes. The 2012 PC re-release of the original trilogy is, curiously, 18+.
* BookEnds: The ED of the prequel ''Akane Maniax'', the OP of ''Extra'', '''and''' the ED of ''Alternative'', is the same song: "Muv-Luv" by Minami Kuribayashi.
* ClicheStorm: ''Extra'' is bombarded by this. Invoked on purpose, likely to contrast the huge shift in mood, seriousness, and darkness as one goes from ''Extra'' to ''Unlimited'' to ''Alternative.''
* ChekhovsClassroom: You can be sure that all those info-dumping rants by Yuuko-sensei will become important later on.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Possible with Sumika, who appears to be the primary love interest. [[spoiler:Meiya also happens to have had a ChildhoodMarriagePromise with Takeru, but they haven't seen each other in about fifteen years.]]
* ColonyDrop: [[http://i.imgur.com/oXroV.jpg Referred to]] in one of [[MadScientist Yuuko-Sensei's]] exam review questions, which asks the student to calculate the kinetic energy of an [[MobileSuitGundam O'Neill-type space colony falling to Earth and the corresponding energy released upon impact]]. Another question asks [[CharsCounterattack how much nuclear fuel said colony must contain, and what its velocity should be, in order to obliterate the Japanese mainland, given some defined parameters.]]
* ComingOfAgeStory: ''Extra'' is the beginning.
* CoolCar: Yuuko Kouzuki's Lancia Stratos, which inexplicably has the classic Alitalia livery painted on competition versions back in its day.
* CookingDuel: Yuuko hosts one for Takeru's harem, with the winner going out on a date with him.
* DatePeepers: No matter who Takeru chooses as the winner of the CookingDuel, the other four girls will spy on them during their date.
* {{Expy}}[=/=]CaptainErsatz:
** Takahashi Ichimonji, Meiya's limo driver, is basically [[InitialD Ryousuke]] [[TakehitoKoyasu Takahashi]] in personality and traits - stoic, always with a laptop, formulating a Theory of Maximum Street Velocity - with the face of [[InitialD Takumi Fujiwara]].
** Yuuko is a [[{{Rule63}} genderbent]] [[SuperRobotWars Shuu Shirakawa]].
** Pay no mind to the fact that Meiya looks very similar to [[KimiGaNozomuEien Mitsuki]] and Sumika looks similar to [[KimiGaNozomuEien Haruka]] or that Sumika gets hit by a car in "Extra" in blatant reference to Haruka's accident in KimiGaNozomuEien. Don't worry, this is only played for laughs and Sumika gets better pretty much immediately. As you might have guessed, like Haruka and Mitsuki, Sumika and Meiya are the main heroines in this game. As a bonus, the song "Muv-Luv" is sung by Haruka's voice actress and is apparently, by "WordOfGod," a song about Sumika. To make up for it, the personalities between Meiya/Mitsuki and Sumika/Haruka are completely different.
* FanTranslation: ''Muv-Luv Extra'', ''Unlimited'' and ''Alternative'' were translated by Amaterasu Translations in 2010 and 2011.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Many events and characterization in ''Extra'' heavily foreshadow events in the ''Unlimited'' and ''Alternative'' worlds, such as Miki's incredible ability with archery.
* HeyItsThatVoice: The original trilogy has, among others, [[SoichiroHoshi Kira]] [[GundamSEED Yamato]], [[MasayoKurata Rakshata]] [[Anime/CodeGeass Chawla]], [[MinamiHokuto Akiha]] [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood Tohno]], [[TetsuInada Lu]] [[DynastyWarriors Bu]], [[YuuAsakawa Ri]][[FateStayNight der]], [[ShizukaIto Hinagiku]] [[Manga/HayateTheCombatButler Katsura]], [[KumikoWatanabe Katejina]] [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Loos]] and [[NorioWakamoto Charles]] [[Anime/CodeGeass zi Britannia]]. The side stories add, among others, [[DaisukeOno Battler]] [[VisualNovel/UminekonoNakuKoroNi Ushiromiya]], [[MaiNakahara Rena]] [[VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi Ryuugu]], [[HitomiNabatame Bazett Fraga]] [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight McRemitz]], [[TomokazuSugita Ky]][[SuzumiyaHaruhi on]] and [[MamikoNoto Kotomi]] [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Ichinose]]. Sumika also shares a voice with [[EfAFairyTaleOfTheTwo Miyako Miyamura.]]
* IntendedAudienceReaction: ''Extra'' is really meant to be painfully generic. If it wasn't, the overall premise of dropping a generic harem protagonist into a battlefield would not work. Similarly, negative reactions to the characters in the first part are also setup, such as [[IdiotHero Takeru's]] [[HotBlooded personality]] and [[UnluckyEverydude upbringing]] working extremely poorly in Unlimited and Alternative.
* InsultToRocks: When Takeru calls Sumika a slug, she gets so angry that she accidentally does this to herself:
-->'''Sumika:''' Gaaaaah!!! Apologize to slugs!
-->'''Takeru:''' Gyahahahahaha!! do you even know what you're saying!?
-->'''Sumika:''' Shut uuup! [[VerbalBackspace Apologize to me too]]!!
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Sumika in Meiya and Chizuru's Routes in ''Extra''. She tries this in her own route, but, being her route, Takeru has other ideas.
* LettingHerHairDown: Chizuru does this on dates in her route in ''Extra''.
* LoveTriangle:
** Takeru, Sumika and Meiya. Takeru somehow fails to notice the Sumika part of the triangle and is kind of uncomfortable around Meiya since she's so direct and he doesn't know her well.
** Also Takeru, Ayamine and Sagiri in Ayamine's route.
* TheMasochismTango: Takeru and Sumika's relationship in a nutshell.
* MegatonPunch: Sumika's ''"DRILL MILKY PUNCH!"''
* MultipleEndings
* NotAMorningPerson: Ayamine and Takeru.
* RapunzelHair: Almost anyone with long hair will have ''really'' long hair. Bonus points to Tama for having hair that likely weights more than she does.
* RelationshipVoiceActor: MasayoKurata (Chizuru) and Yuko Nagashima (Ayamine) voicing allies who are rivals of some sort at the same time? Hmm...[[{{Scryed}} Where have I heard that before?]]
* RoadCone: As the direct sequel of ''Akane Maniax'', Mitsuki's end in ''KimiNozo'' is canon to ''Extra''.
* ScheduleSlip: ''Extra'', ''Unlimited'' and ''Alternative'' were supposed to be released together, but ''Alternative'' got delayed for three years due to various problems, thus the Japanese meme ''"Oruta mada~?"'' ("Is ''Alternative'' here yet~?").
* {{Seinen}}: Despite running in ''Dengeki Daioh'', the manga adaptations of ''Extra'', ''Alternative'' and ''Total Eclipse'' are classified as such.
* SilentScapegoat: [[spoiler: Ayamine's nurse mother, who chose to take the blame for Dr. Sagiri's malpractice.]]
* {{Spinoff}}: Of ''KimiGaNozomuEien''. ''Extra'' is also the direct sequel of the ''[=KNGE=]'' side-story ''Akane Maniax''.
* SuperDeformed: In typical âge fashion, characters are drawn as such during moments of levity, as well as in Sumika's diary sketches (see the image on the [[YMMV/MuvLuv YMMV subpage]] for an example)
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Ayamine's yakisoba bread, as can be seen in this page's picture.
* UnwantedHarem
* WeddingDeadline[=/=]SpeakNowOrForeverHoldYourPeace: The climax of [[spoiler: Meiya's route]] in ''Extra''.
