IS/Infinite Stratos

Here is where you can post about Infinite Stratos, whether you have read it are going to read or are currently reading

Here's the Synopsis

Story Synopsis:
In the near future, a Japanese scientist engineers a powered exoskeleton called "Infinite Stratos" (IS). Possessing technology and combat capabilities far more advanced than any other weapon system, the IS threatens to destabilize the world. Faced with such an overpowering weapon, the nations of the world enact the "Alaska Treaty", which states that IS will never be used for military combat and that existing IS technology must be equally distributed to all nations, to prevent any one nation for dominating the others. The introduction of the IS does however have a major effect on society. As IS can only be operated by women, the power balance between men and women is broken, with women coming to dominate society over men.Ten years after the first IS were introduced, the world has entered a new age of peace. The peace is shattered, however, by an unexpected discovery. A 15 year old Japanese boy, named Ichika Orimura, is discovered to be capable of operating an IS. Realizing the potential, Ichika is forced by the Japanese government to attend the prestigious Infinite Stratos Academy, an international academy where IS pilots from all over the world are trained. Thus his busy school life surrounded by girls begins.

My Synopsis:
The IS or Infinite Stratos suit is a exoskeleton designed by the genius Tabane Shinonono, originally design as space suit. However it was found that IS had far better capabilities as a weapon rather a exploration suit so it was converted into a weapon. With this new powerful weapon threatening to throw the world into a war the "Alaska Treaty" was signed stating that no country would use the IS for military purposes, turning the weapon it a exhibition sports suit. With all the IS capabilities its does have one drawback, only women can pilot an IS. That is until one day Ichika Orimura discovers that he can operate one. To prevent other countries from trying to get him, he is enrolled in the IS Academy, an all girl school. And so Ichika's new life starts as he get adjusted to this crazy situation he's found his way into
