Is currently an Ongoing Series.

* ActionGirl: Asuna and [[TheCaptain Marie]], primarily. Which marks a notable departure from Gundam tradition, as Asuna is only the second female protagonist of Franchise/{{Gundam}} to date.
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Erisia, post-TimeSkip]].
* BridgeBunny
* TheCaptain: Marie, of her space pirates gang. Then there's Bernardo Ferre.
* ContinuityNod: All over the place. Aside from the Titans, there are references to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Anaheim Electronics]] and when the timeline crosses into [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]], there is a passing reference to the Gundam Mk-II theft that starts that series as well as a snippet of [[strike:Char]] Quattro's Dakar speech.

* {{Expy}}: Thanks to having Haruhiko Mikimoto as the character designer, Asuna has a huge resemblance to [[Anime/GunBuster Noriko Takaya]].
** Both Asuna and Erisia are respective [[DistaffCounterpart Distaff Counterparts]] of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro Ray and Char Aznable]], even down to their rivalry.
* FantasticRacism: Asuna faces a lot of this in the short snippet where she enrolls into "Ecole Du Ciel" due to being from Zeon.

* HotBlooded: Francis.
* HotbloodedSideburns: Francis has these. [[HotBlooded Figures.]]
* LadyOfWar: Marie fits this. [[spoiler: Erisia]] probably would have grown into one, [[{{BrainwashedAndCrazy}} except the Titans got to her first]].
* LethalChef: Asuna.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe / ShieldBash: Due to the Le Cygne being a FragileSpeedster, it is equipped with a large, robust shield as a compensation for its poor defenses. It also has multiple verniers installed on it, so not only it adds to the Gundam's overall mobility, it also allows the shield to be used for tearing enemy mobile suits to shreds.
* HumongousMecha: It's a Gundam series, duh.
* PsychicPowers: This is Universal Century Gundam. There will be Newtypes. More prominently, [[spoiler: Asuna, Marie, Akira and post-TimeSkip Erisia (see below), among others.]]

* SpacePirate: Marie's Pirates, enough said.
* TokenMiniMoe: Juna.
* TykeBomb: [[spoiler: Asuna and Akira are TykeBombs trained by Zeon, sometime during [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam the One Year War.]]]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler: Sometime during the TimeSkip, Erisia becomes a [[PsychicPowers Cyber-Newtype]]. Anyone familiar with [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]] will know what that means.]]

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe / ShieldBash: Due to the Le Cygne being a FragileSpeedster, it is equipped with a large shield as a compensation. It has multiple verniers installed on it, so not only it adds to the Gundam's overall mobility, it also allows the shield to be used for knocking enemy mobile suits' heads off.

* CrossOver (The timeline crosses a little bit into ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]''.)
* FantasticRacism (Asuna faces a lot of this in the short snippet where she enrolls into "Ecole Du Ciel".)
%%* FragileSpeedster (Mecha designer Yoshinori Sayama describes the Le Cygne as a "[[{{Ninja}} Kunoichi]] Gundam".
* GeoEffects (Asuna [[LetsGetDangerous pilots really well]] in Space. On Earth or in a colony, however, she's not so good.)
* GratuitousFrench (The titular ''Ecole du Ciel'', plus the GM Canard and the Le Cygne. Justified by the Ecole du Ciel being located in Canada.

''Mobile Suit Gundam École du Ciel'' (''Tenku no Gakko'') [[note]] roughly translated, that's French and then Japanese for "School of the Sky"[[/note]] is a manga series written and illustrated by Haruhiko Mikimoto, starting publication sometime in 2002. One of its most notable characteristics is that it is only the ''second'' Franchise/{{Gundam}} story to have a female protagonist. (''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Gundam 0080]]'' has a female Gundam pilot, but she's not the main character. The first is ''Tiel's Impulse'', in which the main protagonist is a 14 year old girl.) [[TakeThat It is also notable for being the first one that's any good]].

The story starts just as the events of {{Gundam 0083}} concludes and [[ZetaGundam the Titans]] are formed amidst apparent hostilities between Earthnoids and Spacenoids. Enter our heroine -- Asuna Elmarit -- enrolling into the distinguished military academy "Ecole du Ciel", training to become a mobile suit pilot. Of course, that's not what she really wants to do but she may not have a choice in the matter as the Titans have taken an interest in her due to her father's research - who has been missing since the [[MobileSuitGundam One Year War]].
