I sort of agree with you, but I also remember being 18 and worrying so much about university applications and then picking a school. In retrospect all those concerns seem irrelevant and I'm sure I'd have been better off choosing a school based on wherever my friends went or whatever was closest instead of going to the "best" one I could. Still, at the time, it seemed like a momentous decision. To me, Nanoha's behavior reads as a very realistic portrayal of that time in a young person's life.

I don't think it's unrealistic that she's worrying about it, I think it's unrealistic that she's -for some weird reason - rationalizing nonsensical reasons to choose a school outside of Tokyo when doing so would be a total lose/lose. There should be almost nothing any school outside of Tokyo could offer her that a school inside of it wouldn't also have, so there's no reason to even entertain the possibility of studying elsewhere in the first place.

The realistic version of this scenario is having one partner having to choose between their relationship or an education they realistically can't and won't have a second try for, usually because the school is at some unique level of quality that they can't get anywhere else if they don't take this chance, but Nanoha doesn't have that problem so the attempted set-up doesn't work here.

Although it might be time for the relationship to stop being a secret once they move together.

"What, dating? Us? Don't be ridiculous!"
"Chidori, you've been living together for 25 years and have 3 adopted children. We know."

omfg thank GOD so many times in manga one person decides to give up on their future to join some stupid school close to their partner and its so fucking stupid I was so happy to see them actually talk about that and Nanoha deciding she WONT limit herself despite her love for Chidori in fact I think itll be fine because itll show that their relationship is strong enough to last long distance god bless

Re chapter 113: it's usually spelled "confectionery".

...I think?

English can be a b***ch with those “both look right” endings:

  • Secretary, but

  • Cemetery, and

  • Stationary & Stationery (both are right, but mean different things)

Fixed the chapter. Thanks for the heads up.

Also, in my defense "confectionary" is also a word, apparently? At least according to Merriam-Webster. But it just means "sweets" and not also the art and business of making sweets like "confectionery".

You’re quite right, but the “-ary“ ending version is at best a dated or obsolete form; if the word is used at all, “confectionery” is the most common form for both senses. Paraphrasing the OED:

  • -ery endings in English tend to come from French and often indicate a place where something is done (for example, bakery).

  • -ary endings tend to be from Latin and are often associated with a person who does something (for example, secretary)

So both endings are technically correct, but modern English tends to discard such fine distinctions when the meanings are close or a word becomes less useful.

(Even when the meanings of two words with similar spellings are quite distinct they can get conflated—judging by the Internet, the “compliment/complement” distinction is becoming an endangered species.)

Like I said, “looks right either way” spellings in English can be a real pain in the ass.

I noticed that too.

I could even see Nanoha as a bit of a stoner in college. And I could see Chidori trying a toke one time and totally freaking out.

Dawwww Chidori is too proud to admit she misses her girlfriend big time ^_^ Cat-like indeed ( although I've always had super affectionate and clingy cats myself ) . Also, a meeting at 4:20 Nanoha ? You naughty girl you ;)
