Mirage of Blaze (炎の蜃気楼(ミラージュ), Honō no Mirāju) is a 49-volume Japanese light novel series written by Mizuna Kuwabara, published under Shueisha's Cobalt label. It was partially adapted into a 13-episode anime television series directed by Susumu Kudo in 2002 and an OVA directed by Fumie Muroi in 2004. Both were animated by Madhouse and produced by SME Visual Works (now Aniplex). The anime television series and the OVAs have since been released in North America by Media Blasters, and both have aired on Encore Action and Encore WAM.
