YMMV / VALKYRIE: Into The Heavens

• Cliché Storm: Humanity is in a losing battle against Insectoid Aliens? Check. They're trying out a new weapon in order to win, and need the help of several teenagers? Check. Male lead and female lead don't originally get along, but graduate to Belligerent Sexual Tension upon learning each other's pasts? Check.
• Moment of Awesome: Michiko and Danny facing off against a group of six Ixo ships in the climax of the first volume, defeating five of them and surviving.
• Values Dissonance: It's mentioned that the Japanese aren't as inclined to touch each other, meaning that for Michiko, a hug is a much more significant gesture than it is for Danny.
