Plot

Yukina has always been an easygoing type. However, she ends up through no fault of her own, in a second rate University. She meets Kei, who recruits her into a very nerdy club focused on achieving human-powered flight. While initially being half-hearted about the attempt, she quickly gets involved in the drama of the event, and competes for the top position of pilot of the aircraft, competing at a birdman rally at Lake Biwa.
