The Landmark series Code Geass is a popular anime featuring one of the most beloved characters ever to be created. What many fans don't know is that the show actually has a ton of spin-off content that is just as good as the main show. This comes in the forms of anime, manga, and even light novels that make unique twists to the story and really expand the lore of the series.
For fans hungry for more Code Geass content, the ten series below can add a fresh perspective on fan-favorite characters and open up a whole new world away from the political struggles on the main show.
10 Code Geass: Akito the Exiled!
Akito the Exiled is probably the most widely known spin-off series as it is an anime that happens in between the first and second season of the show. The story follows a soldier for the E.U. named Akito, who is a talented knightmare pilot.
Akito has several similarities to Lelouch but does not possess any geass powers. He is, however, influenced by the control of a geass user, which makes him especially volatile in battle showing little mercy to his opponents.
9 Code Geass: Suzaku of the Counterattack
This is a manga with more of a focus on Suzaku than Lelouch. Both characters are still present, but the mechas are replaced with combat suits that Suzaku and Lelouch both use in order to do battle. The main antagonist is also Schneizel instead of the king.
This manga is made to give more of a look into Suzaku's thoughts on a peaceful world and introduces a new way to show action. The series is made up of only eight chapters that are divided up into two manga volumes.
8 Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally
This series actually makes Nunnally the main character, although she is still bound to a wheelchair and blind. In the manga, Nunnally gains a geass that gives her clairvoyance and is gifted a knightmare that she is able to pilot.
The story introduces a new character Nemo and stays true to Nunnally's character from the original show. This series ran for a bit longer than the other and has 26 chapters divided up to five different manga volumes.
7 Code Geass: Queen
Code Geass Queen is a fan book that focuses on the female cast and has fanservice. The manga does not relate to the show in any way, and the chapters are actually done by an assortment of different manga artists.
This title does give a better look into some of the girl's thoughts, but for the most part, fans can easily skip over this spin-off. It is composed of 83 short chapters that fit into just five volumes of manga.
6 Code Geass: Knight
Knight is the counterpart to Queen and focuses in on the male characters of the series. Like it's sister book, the manga adds very little to the series aside from some trivia and is full of chapters made by several different manga artists.
For fans looking for a bit of comedy surrounding Suzaku and Lelouch, this might be a nice read. The manga has 103 short chapters put into five different volumes with almost the same amount of content as it's sister book.
5 Code Geass: Tales of an Alternate Shogunate
This series is an extremely short spin-off that takes place in the 1800s but still stars Lelouch and Suzaku. In this manga, Lelouch is a commander for both the Britannian army and works as a double agent for the Black Revolution.
The series lacks a lot of the technology that you see in the main show, but there are still geass powers involved that can let Lelouch control others. This series is only four chapters long and fits inside of a single manga volume
4 Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Red Tracks
Lelouch of the Red Tracks has never been released outside of Japan. The series stars Kallen, and translators have stated that it takes a deeper look at her double life as both a student and an agent of the Black Knights, giving better insight into her struggles.
The thoughts that Kallen have are said to be particularly dark during the beginning of the story. The light novel is only made up of two chapters that fit into a small light novel and are likely never to be physically released in English.
