Training in Love! [Frontier Note]

Editorial Review

★3.2 / 5 — henhenta editorial rating (our own assessment, not the DLsite official user score)

This is a straightforward comedic romance visual novel that leans heavily on the premise of supernatural intervention facilitating sexual education—a reliable formula in the doujin space that combines wish-fulfillment with low-stakes narrative tension. The setup positions itself as lighthearted rather than transgressive, centering on a protagonist’s anxiety about physical intimacy with his girlfriend and a convenient divine solution.

What distinguishes Training in Love is its commitment to romantic comedy framing rather than pure wish-fulfillment mechanics. The opening scene—the girlfriend’s barely-perceptible frown during their kiss—establishes genuine emotional stakes before pivoting to the absurdist shrine maiden premise. This structure creates a narrative throughline: the protagonist isn’t simply pursuing a secondary character, but rather undergoing “training” with explicit intent to satisfy his primary relationship. The shrine maiden angle provides thematic coherence to what could otherwise feel like infidelity, anchoring the erotic content within a comedic framework where supernatural obligation justifies the scenario.

The combination of large breasts, creampie content, and shrine maiden imagery is standard territory, but the romance tag and the emphasis on the protagonist’s existing relationship add a layer of emotional context that differentiates this from purely mechanical adult games. The comedy positioning suggests the narrative doesn’t take itself seriously, which typically translates to more personality in dialogue and less mechanical tone.

At 11 base CGs with no voice acting, production values are modest—this is evidently a lean project without budget for professional voice talent. For readers specifically seeking the romantic comedy angle combined with the large breast aesthetic and the shrine maiden archetype, this delivers precisely what the tags promise. Those prioritizing extensive branching paths, character depth, or production polish should look elsewhere. Romance-focused players who appreciate comedic framing and aren’t bothered by modest CG counts will find exactly what they came for.
