''[['''We Without Wings''''' (俺たちに翼はない, ''Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai]]:''), taglined ''Under the Innocentinnocent Skysky.'', starts in Yanagihara City, where three stories playing out in parallel. The first is Takashi Haneda, who has to deal with his little sister Kobato and Asuka Watarai, his girlfriend...maybe, all while dreaming of a fantasy land called Gretagard. The second is Shusuke Chitose, a freeter who's pals with Karuo Karube, the bartender at Alexander, a restaurant where he's in an unsteady relationship with a fellow employee, Hiyoko Tamaizumi. The third is Hayato Narita, who's captured the attention of Naru Ootori, younger sister of his acquaintance Kakeru, who's looking for her bike. What do these three have in common? Overseen by the mysterious DJ Condor, a story begins.

{{tropelist}}
----
 
=== Tropes associated with this show include: ===
* [[Alliteration]]: The official English title is ''We, Without Wings''.
* [[Alice Allusion]]/[[Down the Rabbit Hole]]: The Alice of this series is an [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] trying to learn Japanese with a [[Token Minority|Token Black]] as her parental figure.
Line 77 ⟶ 74:
* [[Rule of Symbolism]]: The use of TVs to change the channel. The constant hints of parallel lives. The numerous allusions to birds.
* [[Serious Business]]: Karura takes stuff way too seriously
* [[Shout-Out]]: DJ Condor: [[Turn A Gundam (Anime)|UNIVERRRRRRRRS-*cut off*]]
** There seem to be several [[Gundam]] shout-outs throughout the series.
*** Episode 10 had Karuo do a Newtype Flash in the style of UC Gundam as he communicated, (Telepathically) with Eriko, who herself did one in the style of a ''[[After War Gundam X|Gundam X]]'' Newtype.
Line 86 ⟶ 83:
* [[Split Personality]]: {{spoiler|Takashi, Shusuke and Hayato}} are revealed to be the same person. There are also hints of a fourth one as well. Said fourth is crazy.
** The anime {{spoiler|does a fairly decent job hiding this fact. While everyone in the show saw the same person, viewers see what appears to be different characters, which makes sense because each split personality would view themselves differently. There are clues sprinkled throughout the anime that hints at this, such as when Shuusuke gets hit in the back of the head with a chair, and then both Takashi and Hayato have the same exact wounds later on.}}
** [[TalkingInner to ThemselfDialogue]]: {{spoiler|The three personalities are aware of each other, and if necessary they meet in some [[Pocket Dimension]] that resembles a church. And it seems they work in specific shifts according to the one and only conversation two of them have had so far. They also refer to their host body as a "cockpit".}}
** And if the opening is to be believed, {{spoiler|the five personalities}} aren't exactly the only ones who exhibit this trope.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: Why there are {{spoiler|five}} people shown on the TV sets.
