Liminal Border Part III
Following the events of Part II, Itsuki and the gang's "Rave" business is close to getting off the ground. Itsuki looks to Meryl Hathaway, a young girl often seen accompanying Kotoko, as a counter to the violence of the Umon-kai as he searches for a way to destroy them once and for all.
A visual novel, third game of a four-part series. 
Meryl Hathaway (Voice: Nene Arisu)
The mysterious girl accompanying Kotoko, and the heroine of Part III.
Tasked with a surveillance mission, she transfers into the school Itsuki and the others attend.
While her slight build and expressionlessness leave a faint impression, she exhibits formidable skills in emergencies.
Meryl takes her orders from an organization separate to the Umon-kai and acts on their behalf.
She likes sweet food.
Rin Akinashi (Voice: Cyclamen Kaori)
Itsuki’s long-time acquaintance and fellow classmate.
A paragon of perfection with good looks, exemplary behavior, and excellent grades, she is popular with boys and girls alike at school.
However, this is merely a mask, hiding the cunning schemer she really is.
Despite a wealthy upbringing, she has an extreme attachment to money, earning a fortune working with Hina to operate a large-scale business of her own.
She maintains a behind-the-scenes role in the business and does not change that stance, even when the gang acquires their club.
Rin is meticulous in covering her own tracks, and she never contacts anyone other than Itsuki and Hina.
She always takes care to ensure she has an escape route ready to go at any time.
Hina Yorozuya (Voice: Suzu Sazanami)
Itsuki’s classmate.
Hina has her share of unsavory friends, but she herself is friendly and likable.
She places her full trust in Itsuki, and the two of them have overcome dangerous situations together.
While she and Itsuki are not lovers, they do share a connection of sorts.
Currently a party to Rin’s business, she also aids Itsuki and the gang in their venture.
With her sharp observational abilities and excellent communication skills, Hina is entrusted with the in-person running of the club.
Kotoko Teshigawara (Voice:Ion Momoyama)
A student in the grade above our protagonist at the same school.
Though her father is the boss of a crime syndicate, Kotoko still has a sense of what is just and right.
Although shaken upon learning that the Umon-kai is not on the side of justice, Kotoko joins forces with Itsuki as she follows what she believes to be the right path.
While she and Itsuki are close, like Hina, she is not romantically involved with him.
Kotoko tends to prioritize appearances and often wears a kimono. She takes the roles of figurehead, deterrent, and negotiator in Itsuki’s business.
Tatsuya Yorozuya (Voice: Ii Kinniku)
Hina’s older brother.
A student at the delinquent-filled so-called “Badman Academy,” he is also the leader of DREAD.
Thanks to Itsuki negotiating on his behalf, the debt Tatsuya’s parents owed to the Umon-kai was written off, leaving him free to cooperate fully.
He and his associates in DREAD help with the running of Itsuki and the gang’s club.
He sees Itsuki as his friend, and Itsuki trusts him in return.
Shiori Iida (Voice: Nanoka Osaka)
The schoolgirl responsible for Itsuki and the gang being saddled with twenty million yen of debt.
The owner of a strong sense of self-preservation, Shiori blames any inconvenient truth on others.
It seems she has been attending school as though nothing happened ever since the incident.
While she puts on a refined act at school, in reality she is anything but.
She is willing to do anything for a chance to use "Rave."
Shoji (Voice: Sho Sakuma)
A teacher at Badman Academy, Shoji is a regular customer of Rin and Hina’s business.
With strong connections to other regular customers, he actively cooperates with Itsuki and Hina.
Despite his “unusual” preferences, he is a good person at heart.
Shoji is seemingly well-known among wealthy circles and is accordingly well-connected.
Shinonome (Voice: Cho Koon)
An executive in the “Umon-kai” syndicate.
In charge of the Umon-kai’s criminal dealings, he is essentially Tatsuya’s direct superior.
Unerringly obedient to the orders of the syndicate boss, Goro, he is extremely sharp-witted.
Goro Teshigawara (Voice: Gunso Hatoman)
The leader of the “Umon-kai” syndicate and Kotoko’s father.
Despite the nature of the family business, he wishes for a normal life for his daughter.
The gang’s business is close to getting off the ground, and a plan to destroy the Umon-kai is steadily taking shape inside Itsuki's mind.
However, that plan is still far from guaranteed to work, and should the Umon-kai get serious, everything he has worked so hard to build will surely crumble in the face of overwhelming violence.
There's one more way to make certain—
Itsuki searches desperately for a counter to the threat he faces.
Eventually, despite knowing the risk, he approaches “Meryl Hathaway,” a young girl often seen accompanying Kotoko, and tries to make contact with the overseas syndicate she belongs to.
From amidst the trickery and scheming of both organizations, a glimmer of hope emerges.
Will Itsuki be able to seize that light?
