About this title
Synopsis
In a world of technological progress, females are the only ones who can pilot the most advanced military unit in history—the Infinite Stratos (IS). With this power, women have seized complete control of all political, social, and economic ventures; leaving men to the fringes of society, made to tend to the whims of their now, female overlords. That is until Orimura Ichika, the sole male found to have IS piloting ability, is thrust into the spotlight, and enrolled at the prestigious IS Academy. Stuck in the middle of a female-dominated population, Ichika sets out to prove men still have a place in this world. Little did he know, he's just the thing these women have been looking for.

Ichika Orimura264 fan favoritesExternal profileThe protagonist of Infinite Stratos. He is a first year student at the IS academy. His older sister, Chifuyu, is a legendary IS pilot. The siblings were abandoned by their parents at a young age and Ichika was raised by his sister thereafter. Ichika has a habit of personally assessing the situation with interior monologues as well as being easily out-guessed about his tactics. As the first (and thus far only) male IS pilot, his new reputation has made him somewhat famous. He pilots the Byakushiki IS. He is also considered to be fairly dense as he doesn't realize the feelings of those around him (especially the girls) despite repeated attempts and even open hints.
Cecilia Alcott212 fan favoritesExternal profileCecilia is a first year student at the IS academy and is the IS cadet representative from England, as part of the British Aristrocracy. Her father was a weak and timid man who had little influence both outside and inside the Alcott family which made her swear to never marry a weak man (A difficulty due to the shift in social status). She was orphaned 3 years ago after a train accident and was forced to protect her family fortune from those who wish to claim a stake of it. She pilots the Blue Tears IS.
Lingyin Huang138 fan favoritesExternal profileThe Chinese Representative of the Infinite Stratos Academy and the pilot of the Shen Long, Lingyin is the second childhood friend of Ichika. She was best friends with Ichika during their days in Junior High School and had a crush on him because of him standing up for her when several kids bullied her due to her nationality. Of all of the cast members, she is perhaps the most open to physical interaction with him (although this mostly platonic physical interaction). During her stay in Japan, Ichika would visit her family's restaurant as his sister was out at work most of the time and she is a natural cook. Before she left however, she made a promise to him that he would marry her if she could cook well for him. Ichika however misinterpreted that for free food. She joined the academy shortly after Cecilia became another member in his harem and among the cast is known for her flat chest which she takes heavy offense to.
