I was excited for new Nanoha content but this feels somehow off. Well, it's still the first chapter, hopefully it gets more interesting later.

We are forgettin that she is a 13 year old working!

Come on everyone likes unionised child soldiers!

Clones - ok
Artificial beings - ok
Cyborgs - ok
Robots - in review process.

Damn, the TSAB is very open at accepting conscient beings.

I wonder if this one is going to cover Nanoha's near fatal injury (I think it was only shown as a brief flashback somewhere? I think the event occurred after A's and before Strikers?). If that is the case then Fate may not show up till later.

The alternate timeline issue aside, Nanoha's injury occurred when she was 11 in the primary timeline, and she is 13 here.

Clones - ok
Artificial beings - ok
Cyborgs - ok
Robots - in review process.

Damn, the TSAB is very open at accepting conscient beings.

IIRC Midchilda has always been very deliberately a Star Trek-like futuristic utopia, with TSAB effectively being its Starfleet.

That feels like an alternate universe from the main series. At least there's Nanoha and hopefully, Fate won't be long to join, but yeah, that first chapter feels kinda out of place, somehow. Very little exposition as to what's going on and why a 13yo Nanoha is actually working for some military force.

Guess I'll give it a couple more chapters to see how it goes.

it's following the movie series continuity, as opposed to the tv anime continuty

Why is Hayate's age undisclosed?

Because nobody with that knowledge has made it out alive.

LOL good one :D

3 new chapters just went up, but backdated, so if you're not subscribed and were only checking the front page you might not notice.

Fate is looking so cool in this manga, she never disappoints. Hope she gets her prince-ponytail when we see her new barrier jacket.
Depending on how the plot progresses, I wouldn't be surprised if Nanoha ends up fighting Fate-fangirls instead of robots.
