Air Gear Vol. 27 (Kodansha, 2016)

Ikki and Team Kogarasumaru are in a bad situation–facing überteam Sleipnir in an aerial battle on the back of fighter jets, while the clock ticks down on a loved one being held hostage elsewhere. As the battle rages on, Sleipnir's members reveal their true nature as labcreated experiments programmed with a desire to fly. Can Ikki show them the way, or is he destined to be another disappointment?
