About this series

Maze: The Mega-Burst Space is a Japanese light novel series written by Satoru Akahori and illustrated by Eiji Suganuma. The series was published by Kadokawa Shoten from July 27, 1993, to March 26, 1998. Based on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the series originally began as Ijikū GyōKitan OZ , a manga serialized in Comic JAM and published by Tairiku Shobo in 1986–1988. It was illustrated by Kia Asamiya, whose debut manga series Shinseiki Vagrants was being serialized in Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Comp at the same time. The series was published in the magazine's first three issues and left unfinished due to Tairiku Shobo going bankrupt in August 1992, with all chapters being published in Movic's side-A in 1996. It was then serialized in Hobby Japan's RPG Magazine under the title Jikū Kitan OZ from issues 1–6 in 1990. The series went on hiatus from issue 7 onward, and although there were notices of a hiatus until issue 13, it was ultimately discontinued. The illustrations were also done by Asamiya, and though some of the characters' proper nouns are different, the world view and story development are almost the same as the later Maze series.
