Sora no Otoshimono main protagonists (from left to right): Ikaros, Nymph, Sohara, and the one that on Nymph's lap: Tomoki.



Sora no Otoshimono manga volume 1, author: Suu Minazuki, published by Kadokawa Shoten, a little bit different to the anime in the sense of some addition like another type epsilon angeloid.

Synopsis:
Tomoki Sakurai who lived in Sorami city really adores peace and ordinary, normal life. But his peaceful life ended when he met with Sugata Eishirou, the chairman of "New World" club, who has an ambition to find a new world. Then, Tomoki went out to observe a black circular flux in the sky that stopped in Sorami that night. There, a strange object fall down like a meteor that almost killed Tomoki. In the crater made by the meteor, he found a girl with wings on her back, unconcious. He ignored her and went away when a rain of debris striked the area. He returned to save the girl, but a debris suddenly fall on him. That's when the girl spread her wings, flew to the sky, rescuing Tomoki along with her. She introduced herself as Pet Class Angeloid type alpha, Ikaros. She can grant any wish with her magical cards and call Tomoki "My Master". That's really the end of Tomoki's flat life, as he use Ikaros' cards to conquer the world and more angeloids were sent from the Heaven to retrieve Ikaros back. Chaotic life began !!

Strength:
Nicely done artwork with almost no flaw in drawing and great background, especially the realistic-looking machinery. Comedy that colored the anime all way long, makes it fun to watch. Great animation, especially the last battle when Ikaros used Uranus Queen Mode. Story and unique characters that sweep away boredom and last, the fan service (hmhmhm....).

Weakness:
Ending theme songs are always somewhat bad, although the animation keep on changing.

Screenshots:




One of the most dramatic scene, Ikaros saved Tomoki from the falling debris. Spread your wings, Ikaros !



Unexpectedly, Ikaros' forte is singing. Her angel's voice really touch down the depth of everyone's heart. With this, cultural festival is in her hands !



What if your girl is able to fly at speed of mach 240 and bring back huge fish from the amazon ? Yep, that's Ikaros, who can grant every wishes. Hey, don't you think that's too big ?
