Due to the runaway success of its Kickstarter campaign for an English version it seems that Muv-Luv will be heading to Android and PS Vita.

The original funding goal of $250,000 was smashed in hours. Now the campaign is very close to hitting the $500,000 stretch goal for the Android and PS Vita versions. And it still has 36 days to go.

As well as bring the game to the west, the Kickstarter campaign will ensure that the HD graphics of the PS3 version of the trilogy will make it across too.

If you don't know, Muv-Luv is a highly popular visual novel trilogy that was released in Japan between 2003 and 2006. It was later released on PS3 and Xbox 360 and also turned into a manga and anime series.

The first game follows high-school student Takeru Shirogane. At first it's a rom-com that focuses on a love triangle that plays out in school.

In the second installment, Muv-Luv Extra, Takeru finds himself in a parallel universe fighting aliens for the United Nation Force.

The third game, Muv-Luv Alternative, sees Takeru still dealing with life in the alternate reality.
