The 1996 anime adaptations were done by Creator/JCStaff.
Mei Ikaruga is a mild-mannered Japanese college student who one day wakes up in a lost forest with no idea how she got there or anything else except that her name is Maze. She promptly meets the princess Mill, being pursued by a band of savage humanoids, then by knights who can summon [[HumongousMecha demiarmors]] to fight in. At this point she finds that in this world she is a powerful "luminator" who can pilot Mill's own demiarmor. Mill's kingdom of Bartonia has just been overrun by an evil force, the Jaina Holy Group led by [[BigBad the Creator]], and Maze decides to protect Mill and fight back. They will need allies for this grand undertaking.
Then the sun goes down, and Maze abruptly turns into a male HandsomeLech. The life of the [[SexShifter dual-gendered]] protagonist has just gotten a lot more complicated.

* BigBad: The Creator is the head of the Jaina Holy Group and the one who killed Princess Mill's family, conquered her kingdom of Bartonia, and seeks to kidnap Mill. He/she is thus the main enemy of [[TheHero Maze]], and a SexShifter just like them.
%% * {{Bishonen}}
* BodyguardCrush: Rapier had one of these for her king.

* BloodKnight: Male Maze. Nothing extreme but the guy loves to fight, especially at the beginning.
* ButchLesbian: Solude and, to some extent, Medusa.
* CallingYourAttacks
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Just the ''smell'' can get Rapier drunk.

* DiabolusExMachina: In a reversal of the previous example, the Sun ''rises'' during Maze's first encounter with Gorgeous, just as Man Maze was about to finish off his Undeader, Gord. Woman Maze manages to keep it together, however.
* TheEmpire: The Jaina Holy Group really fits this trope.

* IfItsYouItsOkay:
** Mill doesn't care if Maze is in male or female form. She's good either way,[[note]]Literally, since she's a hermaphrodite fully equipped with both sets.[[/note]] and cheerfully hits on Maze in either form.

* PunnyName: After Mei gained a second personality, she is [[MeaningfulRename thereafter called]] "Maze" (i.e. two [[FunWithHomophones Meis]] instead of one).
