Mai-HiME - Unmei no Keitouju is a visual novel published by Sunrise Interactive. Only weeks after Sunrise's My-HiME anime series started airing in Japan, a game of the series was already announced. Marvelous Interactive is behind this game for PlayStation 2. A PC version named Mai-HiME: Unmei no Keitouju - Shura was released on June 30, 2006. The adventure game is set in the Kazehana Gakuen, which is protected by the "Hime" of the title. The Tree of Fate in the title points to the fact that the game provides a different view and perspective in the Mai-Hime world than that of the anime series. Character designs are not the same as the ones in the anime series. The game also features an ending different from the anime series.
PLOT:
You are Takamura Kyouji, a university undergraduate of archeology(and still in school). By help from Sears Association, you get a temporary teaching intern job at Fuuka Gakuen class 1-3(Miyu, Natsuki, Mai and Akane's class) teaching History. In reality, you're at Fuuka to research the Hime Legend.
CHARACTERS:
- Kyouji Takamura: The main protagonist of this game.
- Mai Tokiha: Mai is the protagonist of the My-HiME anime series. She is portrayed as a self-reliant person, hesitant to tell others about her problems. She is a first-year high school student, and her roommate is Mikoto Minagi. Her stated hobbies are working part-time jobs and taking care of Takumi.
- Natsuki Kuga: Natsuki is a fictional character from the My-HiME anime and manga series. In the anime, Natsuki Kuga is a beautiful, forceful, cold and aloof individual. She rides a fictional Ducati model sportsbike called Ducati DRIII. Her only friend at the start of the series is Shizuru Fujino; she prefers to work alone, but over the course of the series warms up to Mai Tokiha.
- Yuuichi Tate: Yuuichi is a member of the Fuuka Academy Student Council. He first appears in Episode One on the same ferry that Mai Tokiha is taking and the two quickly form bad impressions of each other. Shiho Munakata calls him her older brother even though they are not related by blood. He works with the Student Council doing odd jobs for them (prompting Mai to label him a "lackey") and sits next to Mai in class.
- Miyu Greer: Miyu initially appears as a girl in Mai Tokiha's class and the adopted daughter of Joseph Greer, the resident priest of Fuuka Academy. She is friendly towards Mai, making strange comments about the exact temperature and amount of precipitation, and is very protective of Alyssa Searrs.
- Chie Harada: Chie is a classmate of Mai Tokiha, whom she sits directly behind, and Yuuichi Tate. She offers her friendship on Mai's first day, introducing herself by poking Mai's sides playfully. She uses her cell phone's camera frequently to give interviews and is always searching for new gossip around the school, which develops into a running gag about her character.
- Akane Higurashi: Akane is one of Mai's coworkers who is fairly bashful. She is Kazuya Kurauchi's girlfriend.
- Sayuri Ichinose: Sayuri is part of a trio of friends with Yayoi and Miya.
- Yukino Kikukawa: Yukino is the introverted secretary of the Fuka Academy student council. She is a longtime friend and supporter of Haruka Suzushiro. In the manga Haruka actually is a HiME, and Yukino is a member of the Ori-HiME team along with Haruka who is her key.
- Kazuya Kurauchi: Kazuya is Mai's classmate and coworker, and Akane Higurashi's boyfriend.
- Yayoi Ota: Yayoi is very short, and has a sort of admiration for Akira Okuzaki. She is usually seen with Sayuri and Miya.
- Aoi Senoh: Aoi enjoys teasing Mai with Chie Harada. She is also fond of cute younger students.
- Miya Suzuki: Miya is part of a trio of friends with Yayoi and Sayuri.
