Update: February 23, 2006
«©NCSX» Mai Tokiha and her brother Takumi are being ferried to Fuuka Academy with other students when Tak spies a floater in the water. Hefting the bulk onto the boat, they find that it's a young girl named Mikoto Minagi who happens to be holding a prodigious ebon sword. Before Takumi can make a move to remove the sword from the girl's hand, it jumps out of the Mikoto's hand and plunges back into the depths. Mai resuscitates the stranger and they bring her to the ship's sick room. Later that evening while the girl is resting, another girl named Natsuki Kuga attacks Mikoto and warns Mai to stay away from Fuuka Academy. The battle ends up sinking the ship and Mai learns that the girls are HiMEs and that she herself is a HiME - Highly-advanced Materializing Equipment. All HiMEs have special powers which grant them superhuman abilities. The cast of Mai-Hime battle each other in a 3D fighting game where the combatants grapple, slap, and tickle in rough 'n tumble matches. Along with weapon attacks, conventional punches and flying kicks may also be triggered with simple button presses to best the competition. In addition to the fighting, there's also an interaction game with the cast of Mai-Hime and a music based rhythm game where face buttons and triggers are pushed to the cues on screen. All preorders include a 22-page "Art Works in Mai-HiME" booklet which contains gorgeous renditions of the girls and Takumi on thick and glossy paper. Although Mai, Mikoto, and Natsuki make up a bulk of the illustrations, supporting cast members also appear in a few of the selections. Update: We have now distributed all bonus books and they are no longer available for new orders placed after February 24, 2006 at 11:33AM EST.
