And for anyone who doubts the other 3 'know'? lolz they know! And I dare-say they approve, eh? :->

Eh, it’s always theoretically possible, but l’ll need to see a lot more evidence than we have so far. The dynamic in this arc is completely consistent with groups of friends where one, or more than one, pair is extremely close—if two besties are suddenly on the outs it throws the whole group off.

These girls still strike me as utterly unable to stifle their squees if they knew the truth. Maybe Rei-chin, who seems a little more mature and laid-back, but really I just don’t see it.

I'm still calling that the other 3 will have discussed it without them at some point, a while ago, and had a few discussions, and have varying ideas of it. They're gonna tell their friends they're dating and one of the friends is gonna be like "HAH! I knew it!" and it'll be revealed they've been discussing the possibility for a while.

That's certainly one plausible possibility.

As has escaped the notice of exactly zero of its readers, the central premise of this series is "Nanoha and Chidori are dating, but it's a secret." There's almost no chance at all that this particular author would ever go for a "Hey, you know what? Everyone knew all along!" gambit for the premise-changing reveal.

Judging by the handling of the Igarashi arc, my sense is that at an absolute minimum we would have gotten some clear hints in the form of raised eyebrows, quizzical glances, etc. as clues that the girls know what's going on with the Duo of Adorableness.

Somebody in the group suspects and is keeping quiet about it--certainly. But everyone? I really think not.

Oh I forgot about that extra section - it's very cute, kiiiinda gay I gotta say. "Oh I wish I had a boyfriend I could hold hands with after school" > immediately holding hands with her friends. That'd be the real twist ending their other 3 friends all get together.

Welp

My dreams, dashed already. Oh well, I'd forgot.

I'm going with, "Somebody in the group suspects and keeps trying to convince the others who are like 'I mean I bet they like eachother but no way they're together'"

This is where genre expectations and cultural expectations get pretty tangled--in yuri manga we can go from "everyone is a lesbian" tropes to "no one is really a lesbian" traditional mores crossed with "acting like a lesbian is a common developmental phase" girls-school notions, so who knows who is likely to think what?

Here we get "let's go tease Abe and Yoshida" along with Igarashi's "But you're both girls, wtf?" to Mai's, "Nan-chan kissed a girl so I have a chance."

All I know for sure is that Mai has no chance.

That little extra may actually explain why they haven't quite realized the truth about Nanoha and Chidori even after what seemed to be rather obvious hints in the latest chapters. Their own handholding and essentially planning a date-like outing in lieu of having boyfriends - and this just as good friends, entirely without falling into the usual girls school tropes - makes our couple's behavior seem less out of the ordinary than you'd normally think.

^ Correction: It makes what they've seen of our couple's behaviour seem less out of the ordinary than you'd normally think.

^Well, yes, obviously. If they'd seen it all, there would hardly be any way to misunderstand.

We are waiting for the volume release because the website raws are super low quality and shoddily upscaled, so they're blurry as all hell. The wait is a bummer, but I think the raw quality would actively take away from the experience. Unfortunately we're probably looking at another 1.5 to 2.5 months before the volume is out.

There's also the issue that it's a huge pain in the ass to actually get the chapters from the web reader, since you can only buy them through the phone app, and only if you're in Japan.

First, thank your for all the work and care you put into translating! I will wait patiently, but eagerly!

And now, featured! Now more people can discover the cute fluff that is these two and their blushing fingertips. And as a bonus it's time for me to re-read this. Chapter 3's title page says it all. Thirsty, fluffy, and just very sweet. It's a story about their secret romance and how they overcome obstacles together. For a fun, light read you can't go wrong. Even though it's still ongoing, we're already at 6 volumes of almost pure fluff! Only two real arcs of drama so far, and both are handled well.

As a warning, there is a phrase repeated in almost every chapter, as a type of theme to the story. It's a legitimate literary device of repetition used for emphasis but it seems it may have gone out of style since some people seem to get upset by it... If this annoys you, well, there it is.

Huh..you'd think I would have been the one to suggest this or something <.<;

A chapter of this was the random chapter given when I entered the site just now. Which reminded me:
How many months 'til the volume release?

There are usually 12-13 chapters per volume (given that volume 6 ends at 73), and the raws are currently at 84, which came out on April 3rd. So, 1 or 2 more chapters to complete the volume. After that, I'm not sure how long it takes for a volume to come out. Maybe 2-4 weeks after Ch. 85 is released?

I don't know if these two will be able to survive making love with each other.

Also, if their friends haven't figured out that these two are dating yet, they're denser than I thought.
