The game was first released in Mainland China on December 14, 2017.[3] It was later released on March 20, 2019 on Google Play in the UK[4] and two months later in other English-speaking territories.[5][7] 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.[6]
An anime television series adaptation by MAPPA aired from July 15 to September 30, 2020.
The success of the game has caused comment in Chinese and international media, which noted that women preferred the game to dating real men despite the gender imbalance in China following the government's one-child policy, which has resulted in more boys being born than girls.[8][9]
On June 4, 2021, it was announced Papergames cut ties with voice actor Jonah Scott for saying "Taiwan is a country" on Twitter. In response to it, Sean Chiplock and Joe Zieja have also stepped down from the game.[10] On June 7, 2021, in an update by the game's different social media accounts, it was announced that the characters voiced by Scott, Chiplock, and Zieja were going to appear in the upcoming English chapters without voices included, confirming all three had their voice acting removed from the game.

'In this world, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place...'
In the cruel natural selection, species must evolve faster than others to gain a favorable position in the biological chain.
Those who believe in the Red Queen hypothesis insist that humans should actively seek changes in order to rule nature.
"Evol" ('love' backwards) is a special ability that only appears in very few people. In other words, a superpower.
Those who with Evol are "Evolvers", super-evolved humans.
Advanced evolutionary genes have made Evolvers transcend humans.
The Black Swan Project, also known as the Perfect Human Genetic Transform Program, is a plan to find ways to reform humans by studying Evol genes.
Through this plan, normal humans can become Evolvers, which is an opportunity to change the world.
The Black Swan Queen is the most special of all evolvers.
The Queen's genes can awaken and strengthen the ability of others, which is a key factor in launching the Black Swan program.
This aspect allows the player to keep in touch with the love interests through messages, calls and social media. The player can interact with them through messenger apps and calls, as well as commenting on their online posts.
Messages and moments are unlocked when the player obtains certain karma cards, progress through the main story, and by increasing intimacy levels. Communicating with the love interests through the phone feature allows the player to increase the Intimacy level of each character.
The player runs their own production studio in the game. The player will need to hire employees, produce TV programs, and deal with emergencies.
Employees are called "Experts" and each come with specific traits necessary to pass levels. Experts can be obtained by completing the storyline or in the "City News" shop.
The world of Mr. Love is full of mysterious superpowers. Here the player will experience a unique combination of fantasy and romance. As the story unfolds, the player will unravel the mysterious secrets about the character's and their own identities through dozens of episodes, a deep plot, and a passionate romance simulation.
Karma are cards that the player obtains and uses in the main levels of the game. They have ultra HD pictures and CG. Karma can have one of eight rankings: N, NH, R, ER, SR, SSR, SER, and SP.
