'''''Mobile Suit Gundam École du Ciel''''' ('''''Tenku no Gakko''''') <ref> roughly translated, that's French and then Japanese for "School of the Sky"</ref> 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'' [[Gundam]] story to have a female protagonist. (''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket|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.) [[Take That|It is also notable for being the first one that's any good]].
 
The story starts just as the events of [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory]] concludes and [[Zeta Gundam|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 [[Mobile Suit Gundam|One Year War]].
