Wow, a lot of people already shipping Mai x Manager? I guess I'm not the only one who has gone for the same fashionably early.

Thank you for uploading this arc all at once. Don't get me wrong the chapters were good, but we all knew how this was going to go down for the most part so it is nice to get it done in one go. Like ripping off a band-aid!

And hey we got some cute Mai x Manager too, a bonus!

I feel like what Chidori did in Ch 81 was completely unnecessary. Why would she tell Mai to tell Nanoha(her girlfriend) her true feeling? Somethings are better left unsaid. And now drama (which could’ve been avoided easily) happened. And it’s not only Mai who would be hurt hurt. Nanoha also would be hurt too.

Idk why but i genuinely didn't care what happened with Mai.
Maybe it's because we had the end of the previous "rival drama" arc just a few chapters ago but i feel like Mai was a completely useless character. I might have to reread the entire thing, maybe i'm forgetting something...

Anyway, i appreciate the updates ♡

I don't think it was unnecessary. It is sometimes easier to give up on your feelings of love for someone if you tell them clean and get rejected. Because it would mean, "you tried, but it didn't work" you know? And in that state of mind, she can slowly fall out of love with Nanoha in an easier way than if she didn't confess. Because not confessing leaves possibilities as to what could happen, "maybe there's a small chance she'd actually choose me?" and then, even if Mai consciously knows she doesn't have a chance, she would still be hoping, clinging on her love for Nanoha, and because of that, she'll hurt herself even more.

I think that Chidori had that in mind (at least partly) when she told Mai maybe she should confess (or not keep it all inside). Plus she was thinking of the disaster that happened with Igarashi sooooo...

I liked how she helped us learn about the feelings and personalities of the main two characters. They still have sides to them that they're too shy to reveal to each other. And if nothing else she finally gave us the moment of "you two are way more obvious about this than you think" which we've been waiting for for 82 chapters. Which, by the way, is a huge amount for a yuri manga like this.

Mai x Manager NOW

Also, I guess Mai's arc got the good ending - she didn't destroy a relationship and she's setup for a relationship with the manager.

Glad its just not me seeing that in the future :-)

From the moment the manger first appeared, there was no question about it. * nods *

I'll be fine with Chidori telling she didn't mind if Mai confess to Nanoha because she trust Nanoha or someone else telling Mai to confess to Nanoha but I don't think it has to be Chidori to tell Mai to confess to Nanoha because you just DON'T tell someone to confess to your girlfriend no matter how much you trust your girlfriend. Love is selfish and somewhat possessive if not entirely possessive...

Considering how much drama has happened in this one because things were being left unsaid, Chidori probably just decided to break some routines.

Yeah no, those kinds of things are better to be told. At least Mai would have a proper answer to her feelings and can move on from that rejection. She is not bound by her love for Nanoha. And the drama has in fact been avoided by making the confession,

Mai already know that she doesn't stand a chance and while getting clear answer make easier for people to move on, it's still up to people. Many people move on without getting rejected. And some people couldn't move on even after getting rejected clearly. The most important thing is that they WANT to move on. But that's not my main problem here. My main problem is that Chidori is the one who tell Mai to confess to Nanoha. As I said in my last post, you just DON'T tell someone to confess their feeling to your girlfriend no matter how much you trust your girlfriend.

I don't like love triangles. So I thought "here goes this series too.." when Mai appeared. But this was a bit different and kinda nice. No (major) angst, letdowns or frustrations because choice was obvious to all - readers and characters.

And yes. I too want to see Mai x Manager.

Which clearly wasn't the case for Mai. She wasn't moving on, she was avoiding the problem. It was better for her to face the problem head on and have a proper rejection rather than living with this weight.

As I said in my last post, you just DON'T tell someone to confess their feeling to your girlfriend no matter how much you trust your girlfriend.

But it's was because she trust Nanoha that she ask Mai to confess. She know Nanoha love her and would soft reject Mai that she told Mai to do that. And to be honest, it's better that it's Chidori who ask Mai to do it rather than Mai doing it and Chidori misunderstand the situation by eavdrop the confession. Like you said it's "many people" not everyone, there is peoples who can't move on until they got a clear answer,which was clearly the case for Mai.

Honestly, if i had a girlfriend and someone liked her, i'd do what Chidori did.
Not really thinking about if I trust her, if I trust the other person or anything else, but because it's the right thing to do. Screw what I feel, what if I was that other girl? she deservers an ending to her story.

Chidori did that because she knows how it feels when things are left unsaid, she was empathic and that's beautiful, at least in my opinion.

Although it’s been mentioned once, I think people are mostly leaving out the obvious cues the story is giving about why Chidori says what she does to Mai—the Igarashi Event.

The chapter 81 title page is the most symbolic one of the series. It shows Old Chidori (long hair, pre-Nanoha) facing off and connecting with Present-Day Chidori.

Chidori has two specific flashbacks to Igarashi during her talk with Mai—when she references the feelings of “loving a girl” but keeping it to yourself, and trying to act as if nothing happened and “just moving on.” She explicitly knows how bad she felt and how hard it was.

She also knows that Mai hasn’t done anything wrong—she’s just liked a person she’s known for a long time (longer than Chidori has) and Mai even was supportive of Chidori and Nanoha’s relationship. (The only mistake she made was briefly thinking she had a chance when she discovered that Nanoha liked girls—you never had a chance, dear.)

Chidori isn’t just blithely ignoring a possible danger point to her relationship with Nanoha (as she explicitly says)—she’s empathizing with Mai because of what she learned from her own experience. You know—the textbook definition of a character growing and developing.

I don't even know what to say anymore than I've said. Chidori trust Nanoha. But that does not mean that is ALRIGHT to ask Mai to confess to Nanoha who is her girlfriend of all people while she could just let it be. Before you replied 'But then Mai wouldn't be able to move on then', it's not Chidori's problem. It's not even Nanoha's problem. It's Mai's problem. Call me heartless or whatever you want but I say it's just stupid that Chidori ask Mai to confess to Nanoha just because Mai wouldn't be able to move on otherwise.

"That's how much I love Na-Chan. And yet I don't want them to break up"

Mai is very precious. The type of character who is happy as long as their crush is.

You just lack empathy, as opposite of Chidori who have understand that Mai wouldn't be able to move on if she didn't try once. What could i say, you just don't understand that people could care for others even if it hurt them. And it's fact all 3's problems because you've see that Mai still have bad thought about the relation between Nanoha/Chidori, who could tell she wouldn't try something nasty in the future ? It's better to have Mai move on that having her holding in her feelings and potentially hurting Nano/Chido.

I think this situation of Chidori telling Mai to confess is complicated. Both sides are right imo. So as long as Chidori felt comfortable telling her to do it, it's ok.
If she didn't want to, that would be ok too. Some people (probably most, let's be honest) wouldn't be comfortable with that, and it's understandable. It's not about being a nice person or not.

For Mai, it turns out it was better that she confessed. But if she didn't, I don't think she would never be able to move on either, and she doesn't seem the type who would try to sabotage them or anything.

You're kinda missing the point, Chidori isn't asking Mai to confess, she's simply asking if Mai is alright with leaving things as they are, and giving advice based on her personal experience. She even makes a huge point about how she's not telling Mai to do anything, and that she hates the thought it might damage her relationship with Nanoha.

All she really did was make Mai realize that it would serve no one if she just ran away.

There is limitation to everything; trust kindness, empathy and so on. If I have a lover whom I love and my lover love me back, I wouldn't ask someone to confess my lover just because she/he wouldn't be able to move on otherwise. And it's not because of I don't feel sorry for them nor I don't trust my lover. It's because I don't want to seem like the one who giving my lover away. If someone confess to my lover, I wouldn't mind because I trust my lover. I just wouldn't knowingly ask other person to confess to my lover.
