Remix Heart will be getting a sequel manga titled ''Manga/BlazBlueVariableHeart'' written by Mori himself and illustrated by Sumeragi.

''[=BlazBlue=]: Remix Heart'' is a prequel manga taking place before the start of the main series and is set at the NOL's military academy in the 15th Hierarchical City of Torifune when many of the characters were still students. It is drawn by famous {{Doujinshi}} artist, Sumeragi, and authored by writer for the Blazblue games, Deko Akao, based on a story outline by the producer of ''VideoGame/{{BlazBlue}}'', Toshimichi Mori. The story centers around [[GenderBender Mai Natsume]], a new student who had just arrived late due to a week absence and focuses on her interactions with her roommate Kajun Faycott and other major characters from the series including Noel Vermilion, Tsubaki Yayoi, and Makoto Nanaya, all of whom then make a posse together called [[TitleDrop Remix Heart]]. Other characters from the games do show up, but mainly as cameos. The series was serialized in a digital only magazine and ran for 24 chapters.

** [[HandsomeLech Kagura]] debuts in this series in one chapter, quite a few months from his playable debut in ''VideoGame/BlazblueChronophantasma.''

* BoobsOfSteel: Makoto has the largest bust in the group and is also the strongest. Mai occupies the second place in both areas.

* OnlyOneFindsItFun: Nobody likes Noel's cooking except for Mai, who can sense Noel's innocence and earnestness due to her "super-taste" powers, meaning it tastes "like heaven" to her.

** UpTo11 with Mai herself as the first chapter of Remix Heart was released in 2012, ''four years'' before she finally made it into the games proper.

* PantyShot: Happens a lot.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: All the members of Remix Heart are very affectionate with each other, but none of their feelings but Shiori's for Mai are treated as romantic. Despite close contact with girls initially flustering Mai, because she used to be a boy, she doesn't seem to be attracted to ''any'' of them.

* FiveManBand: The titular Remix Heart.
** TheLeader: Mai Natsume (of the charismatic type; her friends just instinctively does whatever she tells them to do)
** TheLancer: Kajun Faycott
** TheSmartGirl: Tsubaki Yayoi
** TheBigGirl: Makoto Nanaya
** TheChick: Noel Vermillion
** SixthRanger: Shiori Kirihito (joined much later)

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Mai has shades of this with Kajun. Later on, Shiori blatantly admits to loving Mai as well. That's not even going into all the loving moments between each member of the Remix Heart that cement their friendship.

* SuperSenses: [[spoiler:With the power of the Nameless Grimoire (aka No Name),]] Mai can taste something and then gain information regarding that thing or the person who made it. This ability has helped her and her friends numerous times. [[CursedWithAwesome She views this as a curse, though,]] because she also cannot eat normal food because of it - but this same ability also allows her to stomach [[LethalChef Noel's cooking]] because she only feels Noel's sincere love from the food.

* LossOfIdentity: Mai constantly struggles with her gender identity throughout the manga. She enjoys the warm and fuzzy feeling that she gets from her new life, but at the same time she fears two opposite things: the time where the truth of her condition may be revealed to her friends (as they all wanted to "turn her to normal"), or the time where she "loses" her real self. [[spoiler:Both of them are eventually resolved near the end of the manga.]] On a more humorous note, at first she has a hard time adjusting herself to look at naked female bodies normally, having blushes and occasional nosebleeds.
