Reception

According to the weekly sales ranking conducted by Weekly Famitsu, To Heart's PlayStation version sold 81,755 copies as the fourth best-selling video game in its first week of release. It placed 24th in the following week's ranking with 14,032 copies sold, and went on to sell a total of 146,576 copies in 1999. In a bi-weekly sales ranking of bishōjo games conducted by PCNews, the limited edition of To Heart PSE placed seventh when it was first released in the second half of June 2003, and at 34th in the next issue.

To Heart was positively received by critics. The PS version received a collective score of 30 out of 40 when it was reviewed by Weekly Famitsu.

In a literary discussion between critics Hiroki Azuma, Masaki Motonaga, Shūichirō Sarashina, and Shin Satō as transcribed in Azuma's Hihyō no Seishin Bunseki, Azuma noted that To Heart's movement immediately followed that of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which Sarashina attributed to Evangelion's fans' migration to To Heart following their disappointment with the former's finale; Azuma also noted that a school setting was popular among dōjin creations of Evangelion. Satō and Sarashina noted that following To Heart's release, there was an increase in critically acclaimed bishōjo games such as White Album and One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e. Satō likened this to Evangelion and described this as creators attempting to create works that build on To Heart's system, while Sarashina thought that the prevalent thinking among creators at the time was that if they worked on To Heart, they could have created a better title.

In addition, Azuma also called Multi, one of the heroines of To Heart, the "most influential character among the male otaku" since the release of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Chaos;Head

Main characters

The player assumes the role of Takumi Nishijō, the protagonist of Chaos;Head. He is a second-year student at Suimei Academy (翠明学園, Suimei Gakuen), and is a hikikomori who avoids interactions with others whenever possible, and only attends school in order to fulfill the minimum requirements for graduation. He has a tendency to fall into delusional bouts, and occasionally converses with Seira Orgel, an imaginary anime character who manifests in Takumi's delusions. Takumi takes an interest in watching anime, playing eroge, and massively multiplayer online role-playing games, and often notes that he is not interested in girls in the three-dimensional world. Rimi Sakihata, Chaos;Head's main heroine, is a mysterious, pink-haired girl whom Takumi encounters at a New Generation crime scene. She is in the same class as Takumi, and claims to have been friends with Takumi since their first year in high school, a fact that only Takumi seems to be unable to remember. She is actually a Gigalomaniac, and interacts with Takumi as an attempt to keep his Gigalomaniac powers from awakening.

Throughout the story, Takumi also meets other Gigalomaniacs. One day, he encounters Sena Aoi, another heroine, in a hallway at school. Sena is a cold and cynical third year student at Suimei Academy. She has a penchant for ice pops, and secretly hides a clusmy side of her personality. Like Takumi, she seldom attends school, and wanders around Shibuya in search for a man named Issei Hatano. Yua Kusunoki is a third year student who befriends Takumi after initially appearing to be stalking him. She has a gentle personality, but also occasionally appears aggressive and bad-mouthed. She is the twin sister of one of victims of the first New Generation incident, and suspects Takumi as being the culprit behind the New Generation events.

Kozue Orihara is a quiet girl who transfers into Takumi's class early on in the story. As a result of psychological trauma, she does not speak, and communicates to others using telepathic abilities. She calls herself "Kozupii" (こずぴぃ), and often accompanies Sena, whom she considers her first friend in Tokyo. Ayase Kishimoto is a second year student with a calm personality. She is the vocalist for a popular indie rock band "Phantasm" (ファンタズム, Fantazumu) under her stage name, "FES". She takes an interest in Takumi, and often provides him with hints about Gigalomaniac. Lastly, Nanami Nishijō is Takumi's younger sister and a first year student. She is lively and energetic, and is concerned for her brother despite their constant quarrels.
