* SempaiKohai: Aoi's relationship with Asa and Yorou, whether romantic or otherwise. This is supposed to be Amane's relationship with all the other club members, at least in their minds, but her eccentricities tend to erode her authority too much.

After a knee injury forced him to retire from bicycle racing and his own emotional discomfort made it hard to stay at his old school, Aoi Minase fled back to his home town, both enrolling in the local specialist school and agreeing to act as the caretaker for a girl’s dorm. There he meets the surly wheelchair bound girl Kotori and soon meets up with an old friend of his, Ageha. Together with the bizarre genius girl Amane, they revive the Soaring Club from the brink of death and begin working on constructing and flying a new glider after the partial destruction of the old one before they arrived.

* [[spoiler: IncestSubtext:]] [[spoiler: On Yoru's route both her and her sister Asa engage in a romantic and, fairly quickly, sexual relationship with Aoi. When they ultimately decide to have sex with him at the same time the twins seem almost as aroused by each other as their joint boyfriend.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Polyamory}}:]] [[spoiler: On Yoru's route she and Asa both fall in love with Aoi and he returns both their feelings. As such Yoru decides the only logical solution is for the twins to share him.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Polyamory}}:]] [[spoiler: On Yoru's route she and Asa both fall in love with Aoi and he returns both their feelings. As such Yoru decides the only logical solution is for the twins to share him.

* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: [spoiler: Pretty much all of the routes involve this to some extent, with the shared bath in the dorm, a beach and the Soaring Club's two headquarters being favourite spots for Aoi and his chosen LoveInterest. However the queen of this trope is Ageha. Three (or four depending on how you count it) sex scenes in the game, not a one of them in a bed.]]

** [[spoiler: All of the main characters except Yoru get one of these on one route or another. Kotori gives up on her dream of flying after her father intends to take her away at the climax of her route, on Ageha's route she had one in the past after Aoi moved away and their "secret base" was going to be demolished, Asa has a brief one on the lead up to her and Yoru's routes after she think's Aoi sees her only as a little sister and Aoi himself experiences this on Yoru's route after the glider is accidentally damaged during his flight.]]

* ParentsAsPeople: Kotori's father. He and her mother tried to be supportive of her after her accident but couldn't help being depressed over it, causing her to be depressed that she was depressing them. This vicious cycle got so bad she moved out to a boarding school just to get away. [[spoiler: At the climax of her route Kotori's father tries to take her away from her friends, boyfriend and dream of flying, even saying that she can't achieve her dreams like normal people. However he only does this due to being terrified after she was hurt in an accident involving the glider. Once he sees how passionate she is about flying he relents.]]

* HiddenBuxom: All of the girls seem to go up a cup size or two when naked in the [=CG=]s as opposed to their fully clothes sprites, even the already impressively endowed Ageha and Amane.

** Amane's route drops the original Japanese title. [[spoiler:It's the final line in her epilogue--translated as, "In this vast sky, they spread their wings"--as part of a closing monologue by her. This can qualify as a Finale Title Drop if you read her route last.]]

* MeaningfulName: See [=ThemeNaming=] below.

* MeaningfulName: All of the main characters, and a few of the side characters, have At least three of the girls have rather fitting names. Kotori is ‘small bird’ Asa is ‘morning’ and Yoru is ‘night.’ The name of the main character himself, Aoi, sounds like the Japanese word for ‘sky blue’. The twins' last name is also written as Wind Door.

* ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler: When he competed, Aoi's road races would last up to 50km. In Kotori's finale, he has to race 30km to [[RaceForYourLove catch Kotori's car.]]]]

* FullyClothedNudity: Kanako walks around the building in her pajamas, which actually cover quite a bit. The other girls, though, proclaim that Aoi has seen her naked. Kanako doesn’t care.

* LethalChef: Even when Kanako tries to cook a simple dish for a sick person, she ends up burning it and somehow making it salty and spicy. Well, the spiciness is probably to be expected given that she tried adding in Tabasco sauce. Later, she tries copying what she saw Aoi doing. We can see the disaster slowly unfold as it becomes clear that Kanako is both too inventive and inattentive. It actually does end up almost edible, though, prompting Aoi to help her cook something that’s actually quite good.

* ShownTheirWork: The writing at times gets distracted in letting the readers know how gliders work.
** The description of Morning Glory and its causes is also explained quite accurately,

* ItsAllMyFault: In Yoru’s route, [[spoiler:Aoi takes the plane for another test flight and the cable fails to detach, causing a crash landing that destroys the wing.]] Though it’s not really his fault in any way, he’s really broken up about it until [[spoiler:the twins step in to make building a new wing in time possible.]]
