Long have we waited

Good things come to those who wait.

Assortment of happiness indeed, just shoot this straight into my veins. ^_^

Hallelujah it's back!
...anyone else feel like their friends left specifically to give the two some alone time?

I am going to be very disappointed if, when the girls finally screw up their courage to come out to their friends, their friends DON'T say "Uh, yeah! Duh! You guys suck at keeping secrets!" or something similar.

Based on their individual reactions or lack thereof, only one seems to possibly know. We have two idiots questioning Nanoha about possibly confessing, and then we have the third coming up with a plan to lure them away and give our couple some time.

Lovely

More and more I'm thinking that Kumako at least knows. But it looks like the others almost definitely don't.

This is such a nice surprise :-D So happy to have these two adorable dorks back !

OH NO, Chidori gonna get fat.

Maybe it will all go to her chest. :3

Nanoha will go on another space odyssey the next time she touches them :-P

Every time I get the names of the friends straight, a volume break comes along and then I proceed to forget which one is which. Isn't there a page in the early volumes where they're labeled?

this story is like an abusive relationship... You KNOW it won't get better. You know that for each step they progress in a chapter, they'll go back on it that much more in the next. It's been 110 chapters... 110 chapters with the "we won't tell anyone because reasons" Shtick... Yet, like any abusive relationship, I struggle to let it go, and I go back into it, only to find that it did not change, and it's still the same. GOD DAMN IT JUST TELL THEM ALREADY!

Earliest I could found would be these two pages.

Not an early chapter (more like half way), but here's a good image.

That works--thanks!

So it's:

• Kumako: glasses

• Rei-chin: closed eyes (this is the one I can usually remember)

• Asumi: open eyes

(I think this was the page I was thinking of, though):

Sounds like a good excuse to re-read the whole thing from the beginning!

Glad it's back, but isn't the art I'll different mainly the eyes or it's just me.

About ch105:
Dude. We've come a long way, ok? 100+ chapters, and she's insanely, embarassed and disgusted because she sNIFFED on her gf's tracksuit. Just SNIFF, DUDE!! I'm not even trying to criticize it, I'm just dead shocked.

Daaaaw getting all lovey dovey in public places ^_^ Living together in tokyo makes way too much sense not to happen at this point. I just hope we'll get to at least see it a little and not just in a '' last few pages of the series epilogue'' sort of way (^^)

There's something vaguely melancholic about that second chapter, but both of them are sweet, especially the studying in the library. Go for it, Nanoha.

Small typo in chap 111:
"well... to time study" -> "well... time to study"

I’m really hoping this progresses on to their lives in college, a la futaribeya. There’s content there. Even if it is just until they finally come out to their parents and friends.

I fail to understand some people's obsession with them coming out. It's their lives, their relationship, when they come out is their business, leave them alone wtf.

Also, they're progressing a lot as a couple, how about focusing on that instead?

Anw I hope she chooses to go to Tokyo.

Thanks, should be fixed now.

She thought they could apart after graduation?

It's easier to have a healthy relationship when you're not trying to hide it from friends and family.

it's easiest to have a healthy relationship if you are characters whose author writes you into a healthy relationship

Chidori seems almost irrationally afraid of people finding out she’s gay. She never lets Nanoha even touch her in public just because she’s afraid someone might conceivably think they’re gay. Her fear seems really set in deep. I just don’t think it’s realistic to expect her to suddenly get over that fear one day and come out. Girl needs group therapy or something.
While it’s true that this isn’t the ideal state to be in for a relationship, Nanoha seems content with it, and really, it’s up to her to leave if she can’t deal with Chidori’s problem.

And how is their relationship unhealthy, exactly? I’m genuinely curious, because I just don’t see it.

Blastaar's own comment aside (they've got a point), it's not always easier for people to come out unfortunately. Their current perspective tells them it's safer for the two of them to keep going in secret until they can free themselves from some of the risk they believe their relationship carries at home. I have some personal experience with this, it was only after I left that I was able to come out. Maybe things will change when/if they both go to Tokyo.
