# Mr Love: Queen's Choice

Mr. Love: Queen's Choice (Chinese: 恋与制作人; pinyin: Liàn yǔ zhì zuò rén; lit. 'Love and Producer') is a Chinese otome visual novel mobile game. It allows players to text, chat, and call the game's male love interests, while developing the player's own career as a media producer.
The game takes place in a fantasy setting, where the unnamed protagonist becomes involved with four male characters with superpowers. The game allows the player to choose which of the four characters to romantically pursue, with narrative choices throughout the game's chapters.
The game first released in Mainland China on December 14, 2017. It launched on March 20, 2019, on Google Play in the UK and two months later in other English-speaking territories. It was also released in Japan as Love and Producer ~EVOL×LOVE~ (Japanese: 恋とプロデューサー ～EVOL×LOVE～, Hepburn: Koi to Purodyūsā ～EVOL×LOVE～) on July 3, 2019 and in Southeast Asia as Mr Love: Dream Date.
An anime television series adaptation by MAPPA aired from July 15 to September 30, 2020.
On June 4, 2021, it was announced that Papergames had cut ties with voice actor Jonah Scott after he tweeted "Taiwan is a country". Scott later deleted the tweet. In response, voice actors Sean Chiplock and Joe Zieja stepped down from the game. On June 7, 2021, the game's social media accounts announced that the characters voiced by Scott, Chiplock, and Zieja were going to appear in the upcoming English chapters without voices; confirming all three had their voice acting removed from the game.
