Matsushima Michiru is one of Grisaia’s most unusual, interesting characters, initially appearing to be present primarily for comic relief, but subsequently showing herself to be a complex, fascinating character with a considerable amount of depth.
Weβre first introduced to Michiru in the common route of The Fruit of Grisaia, when protagonist Yuuji comes across her doing vocal exercises in an empty classroom, closely followed by her practicing bellowing out stockΒ tsundereΒ phrases such as “i-it’s not like Iβm doing this for you or anything” and “d-don’t misunderstand!”
Already well aware by this point that his new classmates are a little on the peculiar side, Yuuji doesn’t probe too deeply into the matter, but it’s immediately obvious whenever Michiru interacts with Yuuji or her other classmates that herΒ tsundereΒ personality isn’t who she really is; rather, it’s a faΓ§ade she’s putting up for reasons that, at the outset of the story, aren’t entirely clear.
