is a visual novel released for the PC by âge. It is a prequel of sorts to ''Muv-Luv'' and side story to ''Kimi ga Nozomu Eien'', and features Suzumiya Akane from ''Kimi ga Nozomu Eien'' as its main heroine. Like ''Muv-Luv Extra'' and unlike ''Kimi ga Nozomu Eien'', it focuses more on comedy than drama. The game starts several weeks after the end of ''Kimi ga Nozomu Eien'' and ends a day before ''Muv-Luv Extra'' starts. Most of the main characters from ''Muv-Luv'' can be seen in the game (the only notable exception would be Mitsurugi Meiya, who is seen in the Original Video Animation (OVA). It was originally released in parts with Tech GIAN without voice acting, but was later released as a game with full voice acting for members of âge's official fanclub. There is also a three episode OVA roughly based on the game, with the first DVD released on November 25, 2004. The first two episodes were done by Media Factory, while the last was done by Bandai Visual. Many characters in the game parody ''Tekkaman'' and ''Tekkaman Blade''. The OVA mainly parodies robot shows such as ''Mazinger Z''. ''Akane Maniax'' marked the first appearance of Gouda Jouji, who would later become a recurring gag character in âge's games. He has since appeared in the ''Kimi ga Nozomu Eien'' and ''Muv-Luv'' fandiscs. ==Plot== Jouji Gouda is a new transfer student at Hakuryo High School. On his first day of class, he fell in love at first sight for Akane Suzumiya and boldly proposed to her on the spot. The two characters conflict with each other greatly, but Jouji never gives up and would do anything to express his love towards Akane. Although his attempts to win Akane's love at first do nothing but anger Akane, he gradually starts to make an impression on her, inspiring Akane to be more honest about her own feelings. There are two possible endings. In the good ending, Akane admits she might have developed feelings for Jouji—but confesses that she might be using him as a rebound guy since he reminds her of her sister's ex-boyfriend. He then finds a new true love in the form of ''Muv-Luvs Sumika, only to have his heart broken about a minute later when she goes running after Takeru. In the true ending, Jouji transforms into a hero called Dimension Knight Tekkumen (時空の騎士テックメン, "Jikuu no Kishi Tekkumen") and fights aliens and is not afraid of anything. Either way, he is said to have transferred out of the school after being scouted for a baseball team in ''Muv-Luv Extra''. Kouduki suggests that this might have been Meiya's doing in ''Muv-Luv Extra'', and we see that this is indeed the fact in the ''Akane Maniax'' OVA, which suggests that the true ending is actually not the true ending. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Akane Maniax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
