Why is it that females can pilot IS and males cannot? Is there a special
reason? Also, why is it that Ichika can pilot IS?

Why can only females pilot IS?


**Why only female can pilot IS ?**

> The reason why only females can activate the IS (and why [Ichika

> do the same) is currently unknown. But it is hinted in the novel that
