The bizarre costume and uncommonly gaudy incarnation of the Kimi ga Nozomu Eien heroine takes flight from the Akane Maniacs hallucinatory dream sequence like a bird of paradise.

The audacity of Akane’s next to nothing ensemble gives her an allure that is both sultry and silly. The girlie show she performs embodies the playful spirit of burlesque.
