Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The story revolves around Charles Karino, a Levaamu Empire mercenary aerial pilot who mans the twin seater reconnaissance seaplane Santa Cruz. One day, he receives a preposterous assignment: to fly solo over 12,000 kilometers of enemy waters to protect a girl named Fana del Moral. Fana happens to be the next in line to the empire’s throne and a girl possessing beauty “equal to 5,000 beams of light.”

This is a standalone book, but there are 17 total books in this universe (飛空士).

Adapted to anime as “The Princess and the Pilot”

I usually don't write reviews on here but I just finished reading this novel in one go and feel like I have to share my thoughts on it. The first few chapters were a little bit confusing and I didn't perfectly grasp what was going on at first. But as the story progressed, I found myself not being able to stop reading. At no point did it get boring and I personally really liked Fana's character development. She started out as that girl who thinks of herself as a puppet and totally changes through her interactions with Charles. Both characters really grew on me and

I believe I have never cried as much because of a novel, as when the two of them had to part ways at the end.

Seriously though, this novel is definitely worth a read if you like stories about pilots with plenty of action and some romance on the side. Even if you're usually not into that kind of thing, still give it a try because it's just that good.

Sadly the other in this series is not translated, but this stand alone novel is still an incredible story. The story, the character, the ending and even the world building.

And this novel has an anime that is a great adaptation and keeping everything great about this story except the great amount of internal monologue that is hard to put inside a anime.

You can go watch the anime first then come back to enjoy the novel. Or read the novel first and watch the anime later. Or even if you only... more>> watch the anime and skip the novel, remember this great novel when you see the anime. <<less
