NBC Universal Japan recently revealed that they’re bringing together some of the singles of a series into a box set with The Fruit of Grisaia. As we’re just a few weeks away from its release, we now have a look at the finalized cover for it as well as the overall packaging design and layout. The series will be getting a full box set release on December 21st, 2016 priced at 24,000 yen. It’ll come with a special booklet, a credit illustration booklet, and a poster. It’ll have the full thirteen episode run with any on-disc extras to be determined/revealed.
Sentai Filmworks picked up and released the series in North America and you can read our DVD and Blu-ray reviews.
Tensho directed the series at studio 8-Bit based on scripts by Hideyuki Kurata while Akio Watanabe will be joining to provide the character designs.
The series stars Takahiro Sakurai as Yūji Kazami, Hiroko Taguchi as Amane Suō, Ryouko Tanaka as Yumiko Sakaki, Kaori Mizuhashi as Michiru Matsushima, Tomoe Tamiyasu as Makina Irisu and Ai Shimizu as Sachi Komine.
Plot concept: Yuji Kazami thought that all he wanted was to attend school like a normal teenager, but Mihama Academy is nothing like the places of education he’s dreamed of. And it’s not just that Mihama seems eerily like a prison. There are also only five other students, and all five of these girls seem to have special reasons for having been placed in this institution. Sachi Komine, who always wears a maid outfit and seems to be compelled to carry out any order given her. The unsettling Makina Irisu, whose parents are tied to Japan’s shady underworld. Michiru Matsushima, a combative girl afflicted with dual personalities. Car and motorcycle obsessed Amane Suou. And Yumiko Sakaki, whose “welcome greeting” to Yuji involves the deadly use of a box cutter. Of course, Yuji himself has his own dark secrets, as one of his new fellow students may be the next deadly target on his own hit list in FRUIT OF GRISAIA!
