Synopsis:
When Jyun gets a part-time job as assistant manager in an apartment complex, he never imagined that the fringe benefits would include lots of steamy sex with the most beautiful girls in town! The apartment complex houses hot and bothered young women who work regular jobs during the day and render sexual services to paying customers come night time. Luckily for Jun, these ladies are more than ready, willing, and able to share their bodies and their beds with him for free...

Review:
Love is the Number of Keys. In this case, we're talking of apartment keys. Hormonal high schooler Jyun gets a job as an errand boy... errr, assistant manager at an apartment complex where all of the tenants are beautiful and sexy ladies who can't get enough sex. They're so horny that they willingly render sexual services for a fee so that they can satisy their libidos and earn money on the side at the same time. Jyun's in charge of delivering various packages to the tenants, and the tenants are more than happy to make it well worth his while.

I found Love is the Number of Keys to be repetitive and boring. Jyun would drool over his boss, she'd tell him to deliver or carry stuff to a room, the tenant would either be busy having some form of sex or would invite Jyun for a session, Jyun would go back to his boss, and she in turn would give him some loving. That's it. There's nothing going, except for Jyun screwing around with various young women. There's no conflict, no story... nothing at all. If there's one good thing going, it's that all the characters seem to be enjoying themselves immensely.

The art and animation are somewhat above average. Character designs are pleasant enough, albeit I didn't really like Jyun's irritatingly effeminate look. Sex is depicted very explicitly. Jyun has this huge, heavily engorged penis that doesn't quite match the rest of his body, and all types of sexual activities are showcased in their full uncensored glory. The English dubbing is okay for most part. Jyun sounds like your typical dorky teen in a hentai feature, which was actually okay because his character is actually a typical dorky teen in a hentai feature. The single worst voice I've ever heard in an English dub belonged to Rei, one of the tenants in the apartment complex. It was like a cross between a chipmunk and a grown woman who was trying her damned hardest to sound like a child. Listening to her made me want to cover my ears and scream.

Love is the Number of Keys is one very dull and unexciting hentai title. Although I wouldn't go as far as to say it sucks, it is incredibly boring. At least I can actually laugh at bad hentai... but with this, I could only yawn and pray that it be over soon.

Miscellanies:
After the end credits, "To Be Continued" flashes on the screen. Yeah, whatever.
