![]() When we first meet Komine Sachi in The Fruit of Grisaia, she’s introduced almost as a caricature: she plays the role of “the perfect maid” to everyone else at Mihama Academy, right down to wearing a maid outfit when she’s not in school uniform.īut it doesn’t take a great deal of perceptiveness to notice her behaviour isn’t what you’d particularly call “normal”. ![]() Oh, and it’s also worth noting, perhaps more than any of the other characters, exploring Amane’s character particularly benefits from playing the 18+ version of the series, for reasons that will become apparent.Ĭontinue reading Grisaia: Amane – The Girl Who Learned to Say Thank You → characterisation Denpasoft Frontwing Grisaia no Kajitsu Grisaia no Meikyuu Kazami Yuuji review Sekai Project Suou Amane The Fruit of Grisaia The Labyrinth of Grisaia visual novel It also provides some important context for The Labyrinth of Grisaia’s main plotline and an exploration of, for my money, one of the series’ most interesting characters. Not only does her route give us some insight into protagonist Yuuji’s mysterious past, which doesn’t get explored in detail until The Labyrinth of Grisaia’s Grand Route, it also introduces us to an important secondary character that, throughout all the other stories, is only hinted at.Ĭonsequently, Amane’s route in The Fruit of Grisaia is a good one to save until last, since it provides a good means of wrapping up that game’s story and a pleasing sense of “closure” to the experience. The Fruit of Grisaia doesn’t really have a “true” route or “true” ending as such, since the important plot threads are scattered across all the different girls’ stories.īut if there’s one path that stands out as being of particular importance to the overall backstory of the series, it’s that of Suou Amane. #The labyrinth of grisaia episode 1 unrated seriesIf you had come to the series completely blind, this would have the effect of gradually shifting your expectations: what might initially appear to be a relatively conventional high school-themed ren’ai (romance) visual novel slowly reveals itself to be much, much more complicated than you might expect.Īnd then you come to The Labyrinth of Grisaia, whose “Grand Route”, also known as The Cocoon of Caprice, finally gives us some concrete answers about who Yuuji is, why he is the way he is and the circumstances that brought him to Mihama Academy in the first place.Ĭontinue reading Grisaia: Yuuji – The Boy Who Was Broken → characterisation Denpasoft Frontwing Grisaia no Kajitsu Grisaia no Meikyuu Irisu Makina Kazami Yuuji Komine Sachi Matsushima Michiru review Sakaki Yumiko Sekai Project Suou Amane The Fruit of Grisaia The Labyrinth of Grisaia visual novel Through The Fruit of Grisaia’s exploration of him over the course of the five heroines’ routes, we learn a few details about him and his mysterious past. Yuuji is one of the most distinctive, memorable and unusual visual novel protagonists in the entire medium. The Grisaia series may explore its five main heroines in considerable depth over its duration and various routes, but ultimately, the central character to the overall narrative is protagonist Kazami Yuuji.

But, well, I’ve started down this road now, so I will not falter. I was sort of dreading someone suggesting “best waifu” as a category because it’s such a difficult decision to make what with all the incredible female characters there are in Japanese games and visual novels.
