Maitetsu
Maitetsu (Japanese: まいてつ) is a visual novel developed by Lose, which has also been adapted into the anime series Rail Romanesque (Japanese: レヱル・ロマネスク, Hepburn: Reeru Romanesuku). Maitetsu was initially released in Japan in 2016, and it was released internationally by Sekai Project on Steam in 2018. Sekai Project also released an uncensored, 18+ version of the game on Fakku. An expanded re-release, Maitetsu: Last Run, was released in 2020 and contains the original Maitetsu as well as content that could be interpreted as a full sequel.
Rail Romanesque, an anime spinoff of the game, was announced in 2019 and released in 2020. Outside of Japan, the anime was released by Crunchyroll and Funimation. A second season was announced and aired from October to December 2023.
Maitetsu is set in an alternate reality of Japan named Hinomoto in which railway locomotives are paired up with "Raillords", anthropomorphized girls representing the locomotives. However, a new form of transportation later became popular, leaving railways in disuse. The game follows Sotetsu, who reawakens Hachiroku, the Raillord of steam locomotives No.8620. Sotetsu then works to help Hachiroku find her missing locomotive while trying to save his hometown from pollution.
The majority of the story is set in Ohitoyo, a fictitious city in Kyushu split in half by the Kuma River. The town is largely based on the real city of Hitoyoshi in Kumamoto.
Adopted son of a family of brewers. Was the victim of a railway accident of which he was the only survivor in his family. Sōtetsu later acts as Hibiki's secretary after she assumes her position as mayor. His maiden name is Sogō.
Raillord accidentally awoken by Sōtetsu, having been stowed away in a display case for a long time. Speaks in a very refined and formal tone. She personifies the JGR Class 8620 2-6-0 Mogul-type steam locomotive, specifically, number 8620, the lead member of her class. In one of the sub-endings, Sōtetsu confesses to Hachiroku; despite her initial reservations they agree to get married, with Hachiroku given the married name of Suzu Migita (右田 铃, Migita Suzu).
Hachiroku also appears in the anime, but is unvoiced.
Stepsister of Sōtetsu who is also an aspiring artist. Noted as being very optimistic. Her speech often slips into a Kumamoto drawl; she will then attempt to correct it back into a more refined tone which she uses "as she is now older". She subsequently becomes the mayor of Ohitoyo. In the future, she becomes a locomotive designer.
