Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo: Sanshimai to no Dokidoki Kyōdō Seikatsu (彼女×彼女×彼女～三姉妹とのドキドキ共同生活～) is a Japanese erotic visual novel developed by Crossnet, and released for Windows PCs on May 30, 2008. Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo was later released for the PlayStation Portable, and as a DVD TV game. A sequel visual novel, titled Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo Dokidoki Full Throttle!, was released as a PC game for Windows on February 27, 2009, and later released as a PSP game and DVD TV game as well. The story follows Shiki Haruomi, who begins living with three beautiful sisters after the volcano on his island erupts.

Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo premiered as the sixth best selling visual novel in the month and year of its release on Getchu.com. The gameplay in Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo follows a branching plot line which offers pre-determined scenarios with courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the three female main characters by the player character. A hentai original video animation (OVA) series was produced, containing three episodes. Other media such as art books, and various merchandise were also released.

Gameplay

What gameplay looks like in Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo. Here, Shiki is conversing with (left to right) Akina, Midori, and Suzuran.

Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo is an erotic visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Shiki Haruomi. Much of its gameplay is spent reading the text that appears on the screen, which represents the story's narrative and dialogue. The text is accompanied by character sprites, which represent who Kyōtarō is talking to, over background art.[1] Throughout the game, the player encounters CG artwork at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites. Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo follows a branching plot line with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction.[1]

Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a choice is made.[1] Some decisions can lead the game to end prematurely and offer an alternative ending to the plot. To view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and choose different choices to further the plot to an alternate direction. Throughout gameplay, there are scenes depicting Shiki and a given heroine having sex.[2] Scenes of this kind depict a varying combination of masturbation, oral sex and intercourse.[2]

Plot and characters

The main protagonist is Shiki Haruomi (志木 春臣, Haruomi Shiki, voiced by Tanaka Momotarō), a handsome boy who is considerably strong, due to his fishing experience on the island. He is generally calm and collected. Shiki moves into a relative's house after a volcanic eruption occurs on his home island, and in the relative's house, there are three beautiful sisters who happen to be his childhood friends,[3] one of them being Akina Orifushi (織節 秋奈, Orifushi Akina, voiced by Miyabi Arisugawa).[4] Akina is the second eldest of the sisters, and out of the three, is the most loving towards Shiki. She is popular at school, being a perfectionist and honor student. Whilst Akina is usually sweet and kind, she does have a jealous side. Though not being the eldest, Akina excels at studies, sport, and housework.

The eldest sister is Natsumi Orifushi (織節 夏実, Orifushi Natsumi, voiced by Kotone Hirokawa),[4] who became the manager of Min-Min Ice Creamery after the sisters' parents died. Natsumi has a hard time resisting alcohol, and can become tipsy just with its scent. She is gentle, unfussy, and has a polite-manner way of speaking, however, when she drinks, she becomes aggressive. Natsumi's hobbies include fortune telling, she loves to tell other people's fortune, as well as her own. She likes to call Shiki "Haru-chan", due to her thinking it's more friendly. The youngest sister is Mafuyu Orifushi (織節 真冬, Orifushi Mafuyu, voiced by Kana Nojima),[4] who is two grades below Shiki. Mafuyu has a quiet, and stoic personality, and because of this, her mood can be hard to read. Despite this, Mafuyu is sexually curious, and likes to read erotic novels. Shiki accidentally sees her masturbating a few times.

Shiki also becomes enrolled at Akina's school, where he gets acquainted with three other characters, among them being his class president Midori Byakudan (白檀 翠, Byakudan Midori, voiced by Ayane Mikoto).[4] Midori, for some reason, holds a grudge against Shiki. She is somewhat stern, and very intelligent, often quoting famous sayings, and proverbs. Midori has a best friend called Suzuran Himenohara (姫野原 鈴蘭, Himenohara Suzuran, voiced by Runa Sakaki),[4] a shy, bespectacled girl who is also Shiki's classmate. She fell in love with Shiki upon first sight, causing her to stalk him regularly. Suzuran rarely ever talks, but instead communicates by floriography. Shiki befriends boy in his class called Tsukasa Honnouji (本能寺 司, Honnouji Tsukasa, voiced by Ichiro Tanaka),[4] who, despite being good-looking, is unpopular with girls. This is due to his cowardly and immature nature. Tsukasa dislikes this fact about himself, and wishes to be more popular with girls. He feels that Shiki has outclassed him in this respect, but still treasures Shiki as a friend.
