Lovekami: Healing Harem

LoveKami: Healing Harem is the third visual novel in the LoveKami series, set in the same universe as LoveKami -Divinity Stage- and LoveKami -Useless Goddess-. Six years after the Goddesses descended to Earth, the story follows Akira Manase in Kamimori City, a mountain community protected by a Tatarigami, a Goddess associated with misfortune.

Akira has inherited a shrine and spends his days listening to Goddesses’ troubles and helping them find solutions. After he helps Yukari Amatsu, she falls in love with him and proposes marriage. Other Goddesses also want Akira for themselves, and as they compete for his hand, he continues helping them with their problems.

The Goddesses

Yukari Amatsu is a Tatarigami who left the Divine Education Act. Once enshrined in a big city, she fled to Kamimori after being unable to face the fear she caused in people. Her curse brings misfortune to the objects of her affection, leaving her deeply hurt after frightening people she loved. Because Akira is not afraid of her curse, she believes they are destined to be together. She is intensely devoted to him, sometimes acts frighteningly, and tries to involve him in the newlywed life she imagines for them. She becomes darkly jealous when Shion and Kaede draw his attention.

Shion Misono, another Goddess of misfortune, came to Kamimori shortly before Yukari. She helps local elderly people in exchange for payment, usually vegetables or snacks, and they have grown fond of her. Cheerful and positive, she takes little seriously except money, carefully saving every penny. She decides Akira will be hers as soon as she meets him and openly pursues him, even in front of Yukari and Kaede. She also blames her Goddesshood for leaving her less curvy than the others.

Kaede Shizumori is a former Tatarigami who descended to Earth following the Divine Education Act. Once a bringer of calamity to Kamimori, she is now worshipped at the local shrine and revered as a protector of the city. Her love for Akira helps cure her curse. Calm and even-tempered, she avoids discussing her past as a wild Tatarigami. She openly loves Akira but is shy about sexual matters, and feels jealous of Shion’s forwardness and Yukari’s efforts to consummate their imagined marriage.
