MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED - Exclusive to Crunchyroll Mega and Ultimate Fan Memberships Grisaia: Phantom Trigger is a kinetic visual novel (without branching routes). The latest installment in the Grisaia series, "Grisaia: Phantom Trigger," introduces a brand-new storyline and cast, brought to life by returning character artist Akio Watanabe and writer Ryuta Fujisaki. This is VOLUME 3 of 8 - more to come. Key Features of Grisaia Phantom Trigger Vol. 3 - Captivating Narrative: Immerse yourself in a story of intrigue, action, and emotional depth that expands the Grisaia universe. - Dynamic Characters: Meet four new characters with unique personalities, backstories, and roles in the mission. - Stunning Artwork: Enjoy beautifully designed visuals and character illustrations that bring the story to life. - Exceptional Soundtrack: Experience a high-quality score and voice acting that heighten the game’s emotional and cinematic impact. - Optimized for Mobile: Play on the go with intuitive touch controls and seamless navigation tailored for mobile devices. Main Story: At the new Mihama Academy, elite students hone their unusual skills—sometimes on the job. Rena “The Rabid Dog,” a gunslinger; Tohka, a sniper; Chris, a demolitions expert; Murasaki, a spy; and their handler Haruto form SORD: Social Ops, Research & Development. Mihama now entrusts these so-called misfit girls with live weapons, sending them on missions no one else dares to take. Safety is never guaranteed, as they plunge headfirst into high-risk, extrajudicial operations—fighting for their country, their futures, and each other. A gritty, action-packed visual novel where duty and danger collide. In Vol. 3, while Rena and Maki recover from their injuries, the other SORD members jet overseas for what should’ve been a school trip. But the fun doesn’t last—Mihama’s team is soon drawn into a deadly manhunt for a rogue SORD agent, joined by Sylvia and Velvet of St. Aile’s International School. This time, the spotlight falls on Tohka. As she battles enemies on the outside, she must also confront the ghosts of her past—a family lost, a promise broken, and the weight of keeping her word. "You're right. There's a reason we need to get back... even if it means crawling home on our hands and knees." And introducing Sengoku Ayame - Sengoku Ichiru's brother, and a handler at St. Aile's: “If taking her in alive's too much of a challenge, just get rid of her - I don't give a damn. I simply want to see this mess cleaned up.” What answers will Tohka find? She has the truth in her sight... ____________ Crunchyroll Premium members enjoy ad-free streaming - 1,300+ titles, 46,000+ episodes, and simulcasts shortly after they air in Japan.
