The first piece involves the protagonist becoming the dorm “mother” of The Flying Fish Manor. If My Heart Had Wings is broken into two pieces. It was hard for me to get past the poor English while diving into this visual novel, but before long I found myself beginning to enjoy the story despite its flawed localization. Sadly, it’s also littered with painfully awkward translations. Before you storm out, let me remind you that this is an all ages release, supposedly renowned for its storytelling! Truthfully, that storytelling comes on strong from the start.

Watching that glider set into motion events that eventually led both of them to join their school’s Soaring Club.Īoi also works as the live-in dorm “mother” for an all-girls boarding house. Together they watched the skies as a glider flew overhead. After moving back to his home town he met a young wheelchair-bound woman. Just like that his days as a cyclist came to an end. We start with Aoi, our protagonist, reminiscing about a terrible accident: he injured his knee during a race for the Cycling Club. Join Aoi on this journey as he learns about the sky, his new friends, and much more.Hat knows what’s up. Their ultimate goal: to fly through the legendary “Morning Glory”―a rare and stunning weather phenomenon producing a special type of roll-shaped cloud that appears in the morning when the conditions are just right. These beginners take hold of their passion, overcoming failures, obstacles, and interference from the school to put everything they have into building their own working glider. Working together with Aoi’s childhood friend, Ageha Himegi, the main characters of this visual novel begin rebuilding the Soaring Club, which is on the brink of disbandment at the hands of an uncaring school board. Upon witnessing a glider soar overhead, Aoi sets off on a journey to realize the dream everyone has as a child: the dream of flight. It is on that windmill-dotted hill that Aoi’s somber yet touching story of youth, friendship, and flight begins. With seemingly no hope left for the future and no idea what to do with himself from here on, Aoi meets Kotori Habane―a young girl stuck in a wheelchair with a flat tire. After a bicycle accident shatters his dreams of becoming a racer, Aoi Minase returns to his hometown, depressed and defeated.
