Plot
editYukina (Tao Tsuchiya) has always been an easygoing type. However, she ends up through no fault of her own, in a second rate University.

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[1][2] at Lake Biwa.
