Soukyuu no Fafner
Alternate Title: Fafner in the Azure
Story
Anata wa soko ni imasu ka?The island was peaceful, until then, and that day, when festums came for invasion. The island's residents had no choice but to activate the "legendary" warrioirs - fafners to fight against the festums. The children of the island were all born with the ability to pilot these fafners because their bodies were combined with some genes of the festums.
In order to protect the island and return it back to its peaceful form, Kazuki, Soushi, Maya, Kouyou, Sakura, Kenji and the others fought with the festums. The core of the island, Tsubaki, was awaken during the war, so as the core of the festums. Tsubaki used her powers to calm and communicate with the festums, but they were too anygry that it was not very effective. Soushi was kidnapped by the festum core in the end, and with his new unit from his mother, Kazuki and co. began their rescue mission. Festum were destroyed, along with their base. Soushi couldn't go back with them, but the island gained peace once again.
Characters
Kazuki Makabe: The main character in the story. His genes contained a great portion of the festums genes which gave him the ability to control a fafner well. He was reluctant to fight but he had no choice in order to protect his home and friends.
Maya Toomi: She had great potential as a fafner pilot but her sister helped her hid the truth for a long time, so that she needn't have to fight. Maya liked Kazuki but was never courageous enough to tell him beacuse her best friend Shouko also liked him.
Soushi Minashiro: A clever boy who was the commander of the fafners in the main base. He sat at the main control room and could see everything that the fafner pilots saw, and then gave them directions.
Shouko HazamaA shy girl who had a poor body. She liked Kazuki very much and only told this to her best friend Maya. In order to protect the island that Kazuki liked, Shouko sacrificed herself and ran into a festum before self-exploding.
Kouyou Kasugai: One of the island kids who became a fafner pilot afterwards. He liked Shouko and hated Kazuki whom he thought killed Shouko indirectly. However, he realized that it was the festums that were to blame, and he unformtunately got brainwashed by one of the festums. He later regaines consiousness and became one brave fighter.
Sakura Kaname: A strong-hearted and strong-willed girl who lived with her mother dependently because her father died while fighting with the festums. She also became a fafner pilot and fought bravely with her friends. She was almost brainwashed at one time but her friend saved her. She was also good at kendo.Gallery
