The Fruit of Grisaia (Japanese: Grisaia no Kajitsu) is a visual novel developed by Frontwing, first released in 2011. While it initially appears to follow the standard trope of a male protagonist transferring to a school with only female students, it subverts expectations through its mature themes. Unlike standard "slice of life" stories, Grisaia uses its lengthy common route to build a facade of comedy, which is later shattered to reveal stories of abuse, suicide, and survival.

The translator must decide: Does Yuuji call Sachi "Sachi-chan" or just "Sachi"? Does he use the respectful tkven to teachers? The wrong choice destroys character dynamics.
