Who's the adult in the relationship again?

The magical girl

Mamu does have some strong Eldest Sibling Energy.

Goddamn, Serina is good. Sent Asumi so deep into subspace, she had trouble comprehending language for a while.

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.

Ming Wei is so precious, I am afraid Tantai Lan can end up accidentally hurting her without even intending to.

Damn I didn't realize being a general meant she was also a ninja. What a charmer

Well, that jump was a pretty standard wire fu move -- all wuxia martial artists can do that. :-)

As a degenerate who actually liked Force, I am down for any Nanoha content, but I wonder what even is the point of telling an entirely original story using old character? Ah, who am I kidding, it's just brand recognition...

This really doesn't give me Nanoha vibes. Maybe it's just been too long; must of the newer ones don't really work for me ...

The original series came out 20 years ago. That's enough time for a writer to develop entirely new interests...

That feels like an alternate universe from the main series.

Feels very much like an alternate timeline to me.

Given that Phu Thuy is clearly an organized crime figure, I am suspecting that Atsuko is actually a professional hitwoman who was planning to lay low or even to retire in Vietnam after a particularly big job. Killing Yuri's husband was just a pro bono bonus.

I actually related a lot to Gotou's words on how hard self-care is when you don't know the first thing about yourself.

Wth, she's named Dingdang?!

Yu Dingang, it's even in the series description...

I'm such a sucker...

Vampire detected. :3

"Don't act like you're marrying me off." Evie, dear, that is literally what he is doing. :-)

I highly recommend Please Don't Laugh's (a.k.a. Qing Jun Mo Xiao) novels. There are English translations of Female General and Eldest Princess, Clear and Muddy Loss of Love (a.k.a. JWQS), and Matrilocal Marriage (a.k.a. Ruzhui) out there, all of which are brilliant.

Second panel: Wow, Dingdang, you're being quite an iron maiden there. :3

Ah, I see it's Yamada's turn to cause the friction at last. It's mostly been Kase until now...

Welp, looks like the Villainess System exemption time is just about to run out.

Nice story but the curse was weird. Even if you find a lover, they become disfigured at the very least?

I guess if their first contact were a kiss, no disfigurement would take place. But either way, if scarring is the price of being with Bella, I think Anna is more than happy to pay it. No one ever said that relationships are easy.

Reject humanity, return to space. As a wise man once said, we are made of star-stuff.

Welp, it seems like Ruruna is a bona fide vampire, not just chuuni, but her powers apparently didn't really work on Wakana, who is, as Kafkaproblemchild had so eloquently put, "just down bad" for her.

Bless.

Now, since it's Rhealeth, it's time for our monthly "How much of an incest it is" discussion.

Wasn't the debate on that specifically-worded question settled with a conclusive "Yes"?

@Translators: Appreciate your work so far, no pressure. :-)

Already in position, so might as well plank.

Mood.

Also, Ming Wei is so pure. Tantai Lan has been targetedly seducing her for 45 chapters, and she is still afraid of being rejected...

Pure, or useless lesbian?

Same thing, in this case -- that is, a bad case of purity-induced uselenessness.

I was half-expecting the twist that she cannot be a magical girl now that she's had sex, but apparently, yuri is exempt. :-)

Welp, it seems that the old trend of 90% of everything more complex than schoolgirls blushing at each other getting axed after two volumes continues. :(

Fluffy best wingcat.

Also, Ming Wei is so pure. Tantai Lan has been targetedly seducing her for 45 chapters, and she is still afraid of being rejected...

What I wanna know is that, if the leads hate each other so much, why is every scene they share so erotically charged?

The best moment in every Idiot couple story arc is the moment when the leads start to realize that their lives before the confession and afterwards are pretty much the same. Because they have been dating all along...
