History VisualNovel / UnderTheMoon

''Under the Moon'' is an [[{{Eroge}} 18+]] [[RomanceGame otome game]] released for Windows; possibly the best known of its sub-genre. It is the second installment in a trilogy that also includes ''Love Drops'' and ''Ijiwaru My Master''. With art by Toujou Sakana (also known for DetectiveConan yaoi fanart), this game spawned a fan disk and a [[BleachedUnderpants non-explicit]] [=PS2=] [[UpdatedRerelease port]].

** While he's in high school like the other boys, Sena might count due to his big eyes and the fact that he was voiced by a woman.

** Leni in particular is a CrazyJealousGuy who ''will'' flip out if Ashe interacts with men he doesn't know. In pure love routes he apologizes for it, at least.

* TheIngenue: Ashe hadn't ever been outside the castle before the events of this game, and her father is clearly interested in keeping her away from men.

* RealMenHateSugar: Leni loves ice cream, but gets embarrassed when he's caught eating some.

* {{Yandere}}: Seizh seems friendly initially, but his dark side rarely stays hidden for long... and it can culminate in things like MurderTheHypotenuse or IfICantHaveYou.

In no time at all, Ashe and Kyle happen across Leni and Seizh, twin devil brothers with vast magical powers who have [[OfferedTheCrown been appointed as potential successors]] to Ashe's father. Neither brother expresses interest in leaving their new home in the human world to take the throne, but they agree to harbor Ashe on account of an ongoing "[[DemonSlaying devil hunt]]". Angels have declared open season on devils in the human world, leaving Ashe not only unable to defend herself, but unable to go home. Ashamed of her powerlessness, Ashe takes it upon herself to convince Leni or Seizh to become the new demon king.

Being a {{visual novel}}, ''Under the Moon'' naturally has {{multiple endings}}, the routes for which are generally grouped into two types: "pure love" and "love/hate". Pure love is just what it sounds like. The "love/hate" routes are rather controversial for [[RomanticizedAbuse fetishizing sexual coercion and domination]], and the love interests become {{bastard boyfriend}}s and [[{{yandere}} dangerous obsessives]].

* Adorably Precocious Child: Ashe.

* CuteShotaroBoy: While he's in high school like the other boys, Sena might count due to his big eyes and the fact that he was voiced by a woman.

* [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Boy]]: Unan claims he is.

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: This RomanceGame staple is unusually [[DarkerAndEdgier edgy]] in ''Under the Moon''. [[spoiler:Leni and Seizh have both known Ashe for a long time and they are hopelessly attracted to her, but she has forgotten them (through no fault of her own). This is a major factor in the bitterness and jealousy the twins feel towards her.]]

* [[GirlOfMyDreams Guy of My Dreams]]: Ashe has recurring dreams of a sad farewell with a man she doesn't recognize. It takes a while for her to realize it's more than just a dream, and indeed, she may never realize who it is (depending on the path).

* InsecureLoveInterest: Seizh is very hesitant in his pure love paths, and requires a lot of convincing on the point that yes, Ashe really is in love with him.

* UsingYouAllAlong: Sena has ulterior motives for approaching Ashe. [[spoiler:Gain her trust, use his powers to co-op hers, and gain rank in the CelestialBureaucracy .]]
* VictimFallsForRapist: One LoveMartyr, coming up! Your bad boys are as good as [[LoveRedeems redeemed]] now!

* {{Yandere}}: Seizh seems friendly initially, but his dark side rarely stays hidden for long...and it can culminate in things like MurderTheHypotenuse or IfICantHaveYou.

* TragicMulatto: [[spoiler:Sena is half angel, half [[{{Miko}} human spiritualist]]]]. He's powerful enough to draw the attention of his [[HumanMomNonHumanDad non-human dad's people]], but not powerful enough to go against their wishes even if he wanted to.

* AlwaysSecondBest: Seizh feels this way in regards to Leni, who always seems to get what he wants.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Unan's looks are {{angelic|beauty}}. [[spoiler:It's even a minor contributor to his Inadequate Inheritor status in the demon world.]]

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Believe it or not, [[spoiler:Leni graciously steps aside in a number of routes where Ashe doesn't pick him]]. Not every time, though. Some characters he won't accept.

* TeamChef: Early on, Kyle volunteers to prepare all the meals while he and Ashe stay in the twins' apartment in order to shield Ashe, who has never cooked a thing in her life, from the cooking rotation.

* RapeStockholmSyndrome: One LoveMartyr, coming up! Your bad boys are as good as [[LoveRedeems redeemed]] now!

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Unan.

* HornyDevils: This trope is an underlying justification for a lot of the game's naughtiness - devils (and mazoku in general) have greater sexual appetites than your average human.

* TheProudElite: Once you get past the cold, sarcastic exterior, Leni shows a lot of leadership potential. He's decisive, serious, and he projects authority. He's outright domineering toward Ashe in love/hate paths, but

The heroine of ''Under the Moon'' (default name: Ashe) is the daughter of the king of the [[HomeOfMonsters demon world]]. All is not well in her father's domain, however -- his power is fading and a {{succession crisis}} is brewing. As the conflict intensifies their castle comes under attack, and Ashe flees with her [[VoluntaryShapeshifter cait sith]] familiar (who can turn into a {{winged|humanoid}} {{bishonen}} [[{{catgirl}} catboy]]) and ends up getting transported to the human world. There, they happen to run across Leni and Seizh, two very powerful devil brothers who have [[OfferedTheCrown been appointed as potential successors]] to Ashe's father. But it seems neither of them want the throne. Ashe takes it upon herself to convince Leni or Seizh to become the new demon king, and maybe fall in love in the process.

* AlienAmongUs: Most of the characters aren't human, but manage to blend into human society. Leni and Seizh are old hands at {{the masquerade}}; Ashe, as a more recent transplant, is a FishOutOfWater.

* {{Casanova}}: Leni and Seizh both have {{instant fan club}}s of schoolgirls that they pick conquests from. Leni's modus operandi is to use a girl and toss her aside without remorse, while Seizh openly maintains a {{harem|seeker}}.

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: This staple of the RomanceGame genre is unusually [[DarkerAndEdgier edgy]] in ''Under the Moon''.

This is a major factor in the bitterness and jealousy the twins feel towards her.]]

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: A big example of DarkIsNotEvil. There are two races, devils and monsters. Devils are mostly indestinguishable from humans in appearance, and the place they live in is pretty alright.

* TheExile: Leni and Seizh were exiled from the demon world prior to the events of the game [[spoiler:when their (first) love triangle with Ashe was discovered. (Ashe no longer remembers this courtesy of LaserGuidedAmnesia.)]] They've come to like life in the human world though.

The heroine of ''Under the Moon'' (default name: Ashe) is a cute devil, the daughter of the king of the demon world. All is not well in her father's domain, however -- [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority he only rules as long as he is the strongest devil in the land]], and his power is fading.

* BastardBoyfriend: The love/hate route turns most of the boys into these, though Sena is the opposite, being a bastard boyfriend only in the pure love route.
* {{Bishonen}}: This is a dating sim for girls, it's be expected.

It's about the devil becoming weak and needing an heir. So his daughter, Ashe, and her pet cat that turns into a gorgeous catboy bishounen with demon wings set out to Earth to find Leni and Seizh, the only remaining heirs to the throne. But it seems they don't care about at all. It's Ashe's job to convince Leni or Seizh to become the new demon king, and maybe fall in love.
