I do like Fuka’s design, and I do appreciate that she at least has a personality, unlike some other amnesiacs I could mention. But, as with Chizuru, it’s showcased better on some routes than others. For example, I actually like the way she’s portrayed in Axel’s route, at least by comparison, but I hadn’t played that one prior to writing my midpoint review. So my view of her has in fact softened a little bit.

In general, Fuka does rub me the wrong way, but that’s a matter of taste, so we can’t really argue opinions there. It’s just that, where main protagonists are concerned, I’m not the fondest of… I’ll be charitable and call it innocence, even though Axel is innocent too and I really like him. I mean, anyone who makes the decision to sneak out of the mansion and track down a mafia don on a mission in a dark alley just to “surprise” him really does deserve to get shot. So there’s just… an inherent discrepancy between who she is (or, more accurately, what she does) and the kinds of characters I tend to like.
