Maika Saito (斎藤マイカ, Saitō Maika) is one of the Love Interests from the obscure Visual Novel Yandere: I Love You So I Have To Kill You. She is a 1st-year student and target of bullies.
Bio[]
Appearance[]
Maika is a tall girl with a light complexion and developed bust. Her bright pink Tsurime eyes stand out against her very long black hair, which is straightened with a thick section worn over her left shoulder with a braid so far down, held by white ribbon. Her spiked bangs have a corner intake and partially stick up.
Maika is normally depicted in the school's pink and white school uniform, worn with a cyan ribbon.
Personality[]
Maika has become overly apologetic and lacks confidence due to being a constant target of abuse by others. This trait tends to annoy them further, and she always keeps to herself. She can easily be flustered when given attention, but when she begins opening up she is naturally very sweet and friendly. She likes to make food for those she grows close to.
The latter half of her route reveals that she is actually masochistic and embraces self-harm; like cutting her wrists and piercing her chest with safety pins.
Background[]
Weapons[]
A box cutter, which is used for her safety and self-harm.
Victims[]
Subaru - After having sex with him, she violently stabs herself to the point of exposing organs and spilling blood, then she stabs him.
Relationships[]
Subaru - She was quick to latch onto Subaru after he defended her from bullies. She looks up to him and enjoys his attention, often repaying him by making food for him (which she is revealed to sometimes taint with her own bodily fluids). Subaru seemed to genuinely like her and feels no obligation in protecting her, but it didn't stop him from using her to make ends meet, and he finds her apologetic personality annoying. She is discovered breaking into his home to rearrange his furniture for reasons unknown.
Yuumi - Although they are rivals, Yuumi is also a Teacher and she disliked seeing Maika being bullied. At times she will defend her and give her advice to try to make her feel better.
Saki - Saki hates her and doesn't appear to feel any empathy for her.
Death[]
Due to her masochistic tendencies, one of her routes ends with her stabbing herself and making a gory mess before she stabs Subaru, killing them both.
In another ending she is accidentally strangled to death when Subaru gave into her masochistic request. Her body is found by Saki, who helped rid of the remains.
