Maze the Megaburst Space (Japanese: MAZE☆爆熱時空 Hepburn: Meizu Bakunetsu Jikū?) is a fantasy light novel series featuring both sex-based humor and mecha themes. It was adapted into an anime version that was first released as an OVA then a full length TV series and finally as a sequel movie. The OVA and anime television series versions were licensed in North America by Central Park Media and released on DVD under their Software Sculptors label. The TV series has aired on Comcast's Anime Selects On Demand channel multiple times. The manga has not been released in the North America.
A girl wakes up to find her room a mess. She realizes that she has partially lost her memory and all she can remember is that her name is Maze, and that she's now in a strange world. Here she meets a girl named Princess Mill who is on the run from the "Jaina Holy Group"; some creatures her house landed on just like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Maze also soon realizes that at night she transforms into a man.
Maze and Mill meet more companions on their journey and become embroiled in a war to defeat Jaina and raise Mill back to the throne of Bartonia.
