MAPS [OVA]

MAPS starts like many other series, when a young man finds himself the center of attention after it's found that he's the new chosen one/gatekeeper/keymaster/whatever. In MAPS, this is Gen, whose genetic code holds the key to the first of three star maps. Gen's DNA holds this information because he is a descendent of the Nomadic Star Tribe, who wanted to keep the map hidden until the time deemed appropriate by an ancient prophecy. Gen is first apprehended by Lipumira, a strange being who turns out to be not exactly human, but instead winds up being the physical representation of the living brain of a starship. When the ship is hurt, so is she and vice versa. Lipumira is on a quest to find the star maps, and has spent years attempting to find them. With his girlfriend Hoshimi, Gen decides to leave home and piece together the mystery. It turns out, though, that the combined star maps may not provide the treasure promised in prophecy, but may be a guidance system that could bring destruction throughout the universe. It's up to Gen and Lipumira to make sure this doesn't happen.
