That last page though
Drama incoming
It's not an H-manga. She's not going to blackmail them and then sell them to fat old men.
Yes, Chidori innocently posing with a penguin and Nanoha's sister is totally scandalous. What ever will they do? It is rare and refreshing to have a little sister that is actually happy and supportive -- be happy.
To be honest I kind of wish this was a date with Senpai (sorry, not so sorry).
Seems like this was a great first date for Chidori: she got to learn so much and hand holding still happened. Also, the ever so important little sister approval. A rather productive date I'd say. Plus we got to see different sides of our two heroines so I think these last two chapters were rather good.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows they're gay by now.
Mm, the Volume 2 Extra show that the friends are likely oblivious to Chidori and Nanoha's relationship. There may be a slight possibility that Kumako (glasses) knows but I think Asumi (tall) and Rei (bob) are unaware. The friends have sort of a distant yet energetic fascination, gushing, to almost scandalous response to Yoshida and Abe dating as well. A response that made Chidori and Nanoha relieved their friends didn't know about them.
In the Volume 2 Extra the friends see Yoshida and Abe walking while holding hands and make comment on the relationship. Asumi expresses jealousy stating how lucky Yoshida and Abe were. Kumako responds with shock while Asumi is "whatever" about the whole thing. Rei comments that Asumi only thinks that way because she watches too much TV and that homosexuality is a global thing: essentially distancing homosexuality away from Japanese culture. Kumko follows Rei up by reminding (I say correcting) Asumi how she always talks about having a boyfriend. I don't know if Asumi may be interested in other girls, there isn't enough information, but Kumako and Rei still dismisses the possibility.
I don't think the response of the friends would be extremely negative but I also don't think things would go smoothly. Asumi may not have a strong response, I think she accept it rather quickly, while Kumako would likely be shocked but eventually accommodating. My concern would be Rei as in the Extra she appears to show a level of dismissive arrogance. Right before her there is a lesbian couple holding hands yet she still dismisses the relationship as a pop-culture global thing that isn't something truly part of being Japanese. A short Extra but I do think it gave a lot of insight into the friends and their respective views on homosexuality in a Japanese context.
To that end, I don't think the friends know for the time being. Only the Nanoha's cheeky little sister.
