Love, Election & Chocolate

About

Love, Election & Chocolate is a dialogue-heavy visual novel where you play Yuuki, a high school student dragged into a chaotic battle to save his school’s food research club. Alongside friends Chisato and Mifuyu, you’ll navigate club meetings that amount to little more than buying candy with the budget, all while a strict student council candidate threatens to shut them down. The only way to keep the club alive is to run for president yourself. The story balances awkward romantic tension, school politics, and the absurdity of a club that exists mostly for snacks. Choices shape interactions but rarely veer far from the scripted path, making it a lighthearted pick for chill play sessions. The game leans into quirky character dynamics and low-stakes drama, with humor derived from its deadpan take on school bureaucracy. While the plot is straightforward and the art sparse, the cast’s quirks and the absurd central conflict, saving a club that does nothing, keep things engaging. Released in 2010, it remains a niche title with a small but dedicated following, often praised for its cozy, if underdeveloped, charm. Shorter than most visual novels, it’s a low-commitment dive into slice-of-life antics.

Storyline

Two childhood friends attend Takafuji Gakuen: Yuuki, who wants to fall in love, and Chisato, who hates chocolates. They are part of the food research club along with their friend and classmate Mifuyu. Even though it’s a food research club, they don’t actually do anything except for buying candy with the club budget and enjoying their time together. It is an irreplaceable place to them. However, the club’s existence is in danger with one of the student council president candidates, Satsuki, vowing to close all clubs that don’t do anything. Since their club is in this list, they do their best to save it but there’s no other way but to participate in the student council president elections and defeat her. Yuuki is persuaded by Chisato to run in the election. At first he isn’t interested at all, but since the club members are trying their hardest, he too wants to win to save the club.
