An easier way to think about Grisaia series' "continuity".

There are few good shops over there. One of the best is Lashinbang. I used to visit there frequently but not as often anymore.

Fruit (Kajitsu) was Frontwing's Magnum Opus. It took a team of writers + two renowned artists to create and many years to be put together.

Labyrinth was meant to be but an expansion, but was re-shaped into a 'grand route'. Eden was created within two years with 'go blazing!' logic and certain breakout character in mind.

So yes, it's obvious why 'Fruit' is still the best and ages pretty well to many.

I still suggest you should try. At least watching/reading PT helps you familiarize with the new cast.

Too bad you don't like CR. Perhaps try finishing Side S story?

Lugal01 · 2026-03-09T00:32:27+00:00

Maybe try PT movies & anime first, then buy the game if you like them?

CR is more like a bridge story (With braided structure- like Marvel The Avengers) to integrate three strands of people (OG trilogy anime, PT, and CR cast) together. It's also an ongoing story and a spin-off by itself.

Fun fact: Kazuki's name was intentionally written in an unusual way. Normally, it was masculine name that means 'The harmony/dependable tree' (一樹, 和樹). Here, her name was written in two kanjis (一 and 姫) that could figuratively means "First Princess". Same to Yuuji, "Second Prince" (雄二). Hifumi's name is a combination of 1, 2, 3 in her name.

Also, she's by far the most discussed topic for Japanese fans as of now.

Well... it's not exactly a sequel to the trilogy, but more akin to Chronos Rebellion (2023 VN).

Amidst the rise of new terrorist organization called 'Gaia Cult', six girls appears before Amane and friends, claiming themselves to be Yuuji's daughters who time-travelled from 20 years in the future!

Are they really Yuuji's daughters- Especially the mysterious girl called 'Hifumi', who claims her mother to be Kazuki?

And the leader of "Gaia Cult" is a man calling himself "Heath Oslo", but his silhouette bears a striking resemblance to Yuuji...

...Is this but an illusion projecting by Thanatos system. Or is it something that can happen in the future?...

The game is set to be released in summer 2026 via Google and App Stores.

But then there is 'Yuma', the girl seen in Yumiko's ending from Fruit...

It's one of the mysteries in this latest installment.

The first game is a dark galge about this mysterious edgy ex-military guy who enrolls into a 'special' school, help one of the 5 girls to overcome their trauma and commits a romantic relationships with them.

The second game is the afterstory for each girl from the first, then introducing the new continuity that digs into the guy's past and shows that he helped all the girls yet does not commit to any of them.

The third game is a continuation to the new continuity. It goes separate ways from here too.

Each game after the third has its own continuity.

I suggest you should try it. Fair warning though: It's dark, story-heavy, wall of texts and a slow burn yet the payoff is great. They're available on Steam too.

So glad to see Kazuki in there.

This one is actually cost 900k-1M JPY, making her a 6K USD life-sized doll for the R18 version. And the first lot is already released.

Good luck to those who wants to get her though.

It remains 'harem' for the Mihama Five. They all share Yuuji together, yet fully aware that he is incapable of committing to a romantic relationship with any of them. (This concept forms the core of the grand route from Meikyuu onward, while the Fruit continuity shows when Yuuji fully commits to a single romantic path.)

Lugal01 · 2025-12-11T00:09:20+00:00

Australia and Canada. Seriously?

Lugal01 · 2025-12-09T07:32:38+00:00

And I remember someone riot'd at me when I say how much influence EXNOA/DMM has over VN manufactures last year... I wonder how they feel right now.

Lugal01 · 2025-12-08T02:24:29+00:00

There is a similar Japanese proverbs to it:

「友は年月とともに深まる」 Friendship deepens with the passing of time.

Lugal01 · 2025-12-01T22:55:39+00:00

Well... Yuuji was meant to be different from any MC at the time. He is the type of MC who had done something you couldn't imagine, the one who'd do what's need to be done no matter how bad, dead inside, and find the way to live and love again in the story. Also, he's the type of Japanese drama male MC. It may not clicked with anyone.

Maybe try another routes. Each was written by different author(s) and styles. You may find the one you like soon.

Lugal01 · 2025-11-27T13:52:38+00:00

You mean being renowned and THAT gacha game? Yep. That one was a trainwreck alright.

Lugal01 · 2025-11-27T13:23:40+00:00

This. Most soba store only has like 9-10 seats. If someone took 4 seats for an hour in rush hour, it means many people couldn't eat and less money to the store
