I notice that a fair number of people (e.g. [on
reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/2id9xl/spoilers_grisaia_no_kajitsu_episode_1_discussion/))
refer to Kazami Yuuji (protagonist of Grisaia) as "Juicy Yuuji". Why? What's
so juicy about him?

Also: I haven't noticed anybody in the anime (up through episode 4) refer to
Yuuji as "juicy" or anything of that sort. Is the "Juicy Yuuji" nickname (or
some Japanese equivalent thereof) used in canon (e.g. the visual novel) at
some point, or is it purely a fan invention?

Why is Kazami Yuuji nicknamed "Juicy Yuuji"?


In the Visual Novel (not sure about the anime), there is a scene in which
Michiru and Makina start a conversation with Yuuji. Specifically, Michiru
complains to Yuuji that he is hard to talk to because he gives off a certain
aura. She then suggests that they give him a nickname to make him easier to
talk to, similar to how Makina calls Michiru "Chiruchiru". Yuuji says that
they're free to call him whatever name they like, though he doesn't see any
need for a nickname.

Michiru then makes her first proposal for a nickname 「ザ・近寄り難い人」, which
literally means "The person who is difficult to approach", or as the fan-
translation says, "Mr. Standoffish man". Neither Makina nor Yuuji is very
happy with this name, because it's not exactly easy to say.

They go back to brainstorming, and Makina comes up with the second suggestion:
"Juicy-Yuuji". Michiru isn't happy with this; she agrees that it sounds nice,
but doesn't see what part of Yuuji is "Juicy".

After this, Yumiko comes by asking them to be quiet. She ends up getting roped
into the conversation, and Michiru asks her to come up with more names. She
first agrees with "Juicy Yuuji", but then offers as an alternative "Yujiyuji".
After Michiru laughs at this, she exits the conversation.

In the VN, Michiru then forces the decision on Yuuji as to which nickname he
wants. You have the choice of any of those three.

After that, for the rest of the scene you're referred to by that name.
However, Yuuji decides to get back at Michiru by giving her an equally
terrible nickname. Eventually he ends up selecting "Mitcher", which Michiru
finds to be very unpleasant. He continues on a rampage, giving Sachi, Amane,
and Makina the nicknames "Satcher", "Atcher", and "Matcher", until Michiru
apologizes and pledges not to use the nickname you chose.

The choice never has any impact on future events in the VN, and none of the
main events from that scene come up again in the future as far as I can
remember, but I guess this nickname became popular in the fan community.
