re Nya-chan:
"You're a girl, act like it!"
Uuh... how about she acts the way she feels more comfortable with?
Chidori, why you so controlling?
I got the as a girl bit, but I didn't care for this delivery either. Hoping to be able to wipe this from my mind. :/
I didn't see it as Chidori being controlling. Nanoha appeared uncomfortable with how others treated her as a prince, as a male surrogate, but Chidori reassured her that she's every bit the girl she views and feels herself to be. The scene did feel a bit forceful, but I don't think that was the intent. I feel that Chidori felt it was just ridiculous for Nanoha not to view herself as the girl she is and feels to be.
I appreciate the moment for that it also seems to say that just because Nanoha is athletic that doesn't mean she's boyish (the wrongful assumption that sports are only for boys). I also appreciate the chapter because it accepts that part of Chidori's attraction towards Nanoha, and Nanoha's attraction towards Chidori, is in part because they are both girls. There seemed to be a growing "gender doesn't matter" trend in Yuri which is true for some, but not for everyone. Not for me anyway.
