Love 3: Love Cube

Love 3: Love Cube is a visual novel about Ichinari Tsuzurigi, an adult comics artist who ends up living with three women while working on sexy manga. The story focuses on the women’s growing feelings for him, and on the “Fates” that connect them after a god takes an interest in their wishes.

Story

Ichinari is struggling to pay rent and considering giving up on his dream of becoming a manga artist. His editor, Akira Higashibojo, offers him a job as an assistant to one of the industry’s top artists. The artist turns out to be Iori Shitaka, Ichinari’s childhood friend; they once promised to pursue manga together. Another assistant is Nodoka Amabane, a dojinshi artist who was Ichinari’s junior in their high school manga club, where he taught her to draw.

Their unexpected reunion brings old hopes and feelings back to the surface. Iori kept drawing manga believing she might meet Ichinari again, while Nodoka has continued her work in the hope of seeing her Senpai. Akira, Ichinari and Iori’s editor, is also falling for him. She is blunt and judo-loving, but her big-sister affection for Ichinari often makes her lenient with him.

Characters

• Iori Shitaka: A popular adult manga artist and Ichinari’s childhood friend. Though she can seem calm and collected, she blushes easily. She pours herself into her work and sometimes worries about how many pairs of panties she goes through while working alone.
• Nodoka Amabane: A successful dojinshi artist who appears sweet and sexy, with an innocent and devoted side. A scene in a magical girl anime inspired her to draw dojinshi, and her outward sweetness hides kinky interests.
• Akira Higashibojo: Ichinari’s editor and first client, who is super into judo and speaks her mind. She struggles with her company’s poor working conditions and meager salary, but is usually putty in Ichinari’s hands.
