A genius scholar, known as one of the Seven Fools in the ER3 System: Akane Sonoyama. Proud of her abilities in mathematics and English, Akane strives with her intellect; however, she doesn't do well in yojijukugo. In her younger years, she became a champion in a Karate tournament, making her capable of defending herself with ease. 

Akane is relatively friendly towards others, regardless of their intellectual ability, though this doesn't stand if they're painters such as Kanami Ibuki. Unfortunately for Kanami, she faces the brunt of Akane's hatred for them, as she considers them to be, "worse than thieves." Though this can concern others, such as Ii, Akane does have a good sense of humour. Additionally, she smokes and is quite anti-feminist. ~!When Akane is accused of the first decapitation, she says she is innocent as she considers painters not being worth killing.!~

As a member of the Seven Fools, Akane has higher intellect than a majority of other geniuses. Despite this, she considers Fraulein Love and Assistant Professor Hewlett to be the second and first smartest people in the ER3 System, respectively. The depths of her ability aren't entirely known, though she is capable of playing Shogi against herself in her head. ~!At the end of Kubikiri Cycle, it's revealed that Akane and Kanami had switched identities before attending Wet Crow's Feather Island for fun and that the real Akane was decapitated. Thus, the "real" Kanami lived and now lives as Akane. It is heavily implied by Jun Aikawa that the real Kanami Ibuki was killed by someone else before their swap. With this, the "real" Kanami, the one that lives as Akane, is a completely unknown individual. Upon being caught for her murders and being sent back to land, she drops out of the Seven Fools and lives her days somewhere else, likely with Shinya Sakaki.!~

It's the vacation of a lifetime, a trip to a remote island filled with geniuses–and murder. 
 
On Wet Crow's Feather Island, a tiny speck in the Sea of Japan, lives Akagami Iria, the exiled daughter of a powerful family. Born into great wealth, she was a princess of the highest pedigree–until she was cut off by the leader of the Akagami Foundation. For the last five years, she's lived on Feather Island with her maids. But she hasn't been alone. She has invited the best minds Japan has to offer to come and stay with her. 
 
And so nineteen-year-old college student Ii-chan and his best friend, computer genius Kunagisa Tomo, find themselves as Iria’s guests at her elaborate mansion. Surrounded by fascinating women – a chef, a fortune-teller, a scholar, and an artist, not to mention his own friend Tomo – Ii-chan is feeling a little overmatched intellectually. But the sudden discovery of a grisly murder sends the island into shock. And Ii-chan discovers that he does possess a bit of genius: the ability to discover what is real and what is fake, who is who they claim to be and who is a killer.

It may be true that where there is a beginning, there is an end, but it is too shortsighted to think that because there is an end, there must have been a beginning. In fact, the opposite is true. Most events have already ended even before they began, and they are closed even if they are not opened. I, a sincere and honest person who dares not speak truth as truth, dares not speak fact as fact, and knows the virtue of silence better than anyone else, will ascend a certain staircase in September. The Thirteenth Staircase. It was Kino-Raichi, Noise, Emoto Sonoki, Mio-tsukushi Takami, and Mio-tsukushi Misora. However, what awaits me at the top of the stairs is so ridiculous and so nostalgic… in this sixth installment of the "Zaregoto" series!
