OVA
Description
Midori Nagawa, the main heroine of PureMail, attends Aoi Middle School. She is the older daughter of Asagi Nagawa and Ayumu Inou, with sisters Yukari and Sakura Nagawa. Her family resided next to the Sawanagas, fostering a close childhood friendship with Miki Sawanaga.
Midori endured a troubled past as a former child actress, marked by profound loneliness. Seeking connection, she wrote letters to Juuzou Nagawa, whom she recognized as her father. Unbeknownst to her, her mother intercepted these, and her manager responded while impersonating Juuzou. These private letters were compiled and published without her consent, resulting in severe trust issues. Juuzou forced her to quit acting after discovering Asagi's infidelity with a production team member.
Physically, Midori possesses fair skin, long brown hair reaching her waist, and blue eyes. She stands 155 cm tall and weighs 46 kg, with measurements of 80-56-84. She is frequently seen in her school uniform paired with ankle-length red socks and brown loafers, always accessorized with a signature hair ribbon. Other noted outfits include a long blue-ribbon dress, a bondage costume, a dominatrix outfit with a whip, and a raincoat worn without clothing underneath.
Midori's personality is heavily shaped by her past betrayals and complex familial origins, leading to significant trust issues. Her demeanor varies across narrative routes, reflecting internal conflicts. Online, she adopts the alias "EVE" in chatrooms. As EVE, she connects with "A, W"—later revealed as her classmate Kei Ogata—developing feelings while initially unaware of his real identity. This duality creates tension between her real-world interactions with Kei and her online relationship.
In the OVA, Midori befriends Kei at "A, W's" suggestion and invites him to a summer festival with Miki. Recognizing Miki's affection for Kei, she fabricates a family emergency to leave them alone, later expressing regret to "A, W" about missing time with Kei. Amid her parents' divorce, she prepares to move away with her father. Disregarding "A, W's" advice, she contacts Kei, leading to a study session at his home where they share intimate moments. She confides in "A, W" about the session but omits the physical relationship. Before moving, she emails Kei, promising future contact and reunion.
Midori's familial relationships involve significant complexity. Official continuity charts indicate she has a daughter with Ayumu Inou—her biological father and maternal cousin—though the canonicity is unclear. Her extended family features intricate, often incestuous ties through the Inou and Sawagoe lineages.
Her narrative explores trust, identity, and emotional reconciliation. The juxtaposition of her real-life persona and online identity as EVE underscores her struggle to reconcile idealized perceptions with genuine connections, particularly in her evolving relationship with Kei.
