Synopsis:

Based on the Japanese visual novel by Front Wing, The Fruit of Grisaia revolves around Mihama Academy, a prison-like school built to preserve fruit that has fallen too far from its tree. It is home to five female students who each have their reasons for enrolling in the academy and live their life idly within the walls of Mihama. 

 

One day, Kazami Yuuji the institute’s first male student arrives and throws the orderly rhythm of Mihama off balance. Is Yuuji what the girls need to hold of their lives once more, or will the weight of their pasts prove too steep a wall to overcome? Or is his past even heavier than any of the others?

 

Takahiro Sakurai, whose recent works include Psycho-Pass as Shōgo Makishima, will voice the male student Kazami Yuuji. He plays opposite voice actress Ryouko Tanaka, Yuiko Kurugaya from Little Busters!, and voice actor Takahiro Sakurai, who does the voicing of Cloud Strife. Yoshino Nanjou who worked on the theme song for Love Live! School idol project as Eli Ayase will be performing the ending theme song of The Fruit of Grisaia.
