Nanoha's realization, that all the things they've done before, was just "stuff that even friends can do" actually had me laughing. That was weirdly meta XD

Nanoha: Sorry, I just spilled a little.
Me: Nope, not yet girl.
Nanoha: *squeezes herself next to Chidori, full-body-contact*
Me: ...now you did. >.>

LOL! Exactly!

I've seen some of the upcoming chapters in another language. Can't read them, but... it was worth looking... (before you ask, there was a post somewhere in this thread with a link I think... I think it was Chinese... and no, I'm not going to discuss what's coming up, just that I'm looking forward to it and want to see what's beyond what I've seen on that sight more than I want to see what I've not been able to read...)

Could you tell us a bit about what happens next under spoilers? Or the link for the Chinese version?

Well... I went back and found the link, and I'm glad I did, because it goes further than it did before:

To give a not so brief synopsis of what's to come: (Seriously... if you don't want spoilers, DON'T READ THIS!!!!!!!

It's time for the cultural festival. There's hotness... The two formerly useless ones get a chance to walk around the festival together after their shift with the class project is over and take the opportunity to sneak into an unused classroom where Nanoka steals a kiss behind a curtain... but someone sees it from the hallway... That someone? Well, we've had the arc with Chidori's senpai that she used to have a crush on... now it's time for Nanoka's senpai from the Basketball team back in the day who she "ADMIRED". Did she crush on her or just admire her as a great player and reliable senpai? Hard to say without translation... but she's the person who saw them kissing AND she's injured her leg and has to take time off the basketball team SO: she's going to become a (hopefully temporary) member of the literature club! She appears to have one of two goals in mind:
1) break up Chidori and Nanoka so she can start dating Nanoka.
2) break up Chidori and Nanoka because girls dating each other is just wrong, but why am I feeling so flushed around Nanoka anyway?
Translation is needed to know her real goals. There are plenty of flashback scenes from her perspective to give us the info when we get there. Eventually, after literally getting in between our protagonists at every opportunity for several chapters, hugging Nanoka out of the blue, joining them on what appears to be a date that they were planing on taking together, etc... ALL with Nanoka being especially oblivious to what's going on and it's impact on Chidori... the 2nd years are heading off for a class trip and, for some reason, Chidori and the basketball senpai end up alone together and senpai says something about having seen Nanoka naked all the time in the locker room or something like that to totally get inside Chidori's head, because she has noticed by this point that the senpai is paying special attention to her girlfriend. With this weighing on her mind, she says something to Nanoka at the start of the trip (I think she also gets a text from the senpai right before it) that starts their first REALLY BIG fight. As in they go around to places separately... Eventually, they end up meeting up at a particular place and making up in a beautiful scene that I won't spoil... then there's the bath scene... and if you thought they had trouble dealing with the aftermath of the kiss, try the aftermath of THAT... let's just say things happen in the bath and there's more emotional fallout... When they get back, I'm pretty sure the senpai can tell that she's lost though. That's where the last one leaves off.

Chidori needs to master the fine art of masturbation, or the poor girl’s gonna asplode.

I'm dying, I need some air.
I'm not okay, they are so cute.

OK, can someone remind me when did I start liking lewd humour?

@zensunni Thanks!!

Me neither, even though I don't know what it says

(~˘▾˘)~ Great chapter.

Ah! Her Tale of Shim Cheong shout out! It's so good.

I love the series. It's probably my favourite yuri. I plugged it as many times as I could in the credits pages, though I had a hard time finding fanart for it!

For what it's worth, you're pretty off base regarding your predictions.

Chidori needs to master the fine art of masturbation, or the poor girl’s gonna asplode.

masturbation? Is that another name for holding your own hand?

In a certain way, yes.

Depends on were you hold it.

And the way things are looking, at this point Nanoha might need to master it as well. Or we might just need to lock them in a room and see what happens.

Didn’t i read this already?

If memory serves, that girl is Nanoha's kouhai, not senpai.

Didn’t i read this already?

Chapters 49 to 52 were very shoddily translated to english a few weeks ago, so it's possible you read those. YP version will catch up and surpass those very quickly, so I wouldn't recommend them.

Ha. I knew it. Chidori and Nanoha have been hovering between a love game and the real thing this whole time. That kiss tipped the scales. they're a little freaked, but it's the good kind of freaked, where they realised they truly are in love. Now the real fireworks will fly.

^Eh, I wouldn't go that far. The love has always been genuine, but Chidori's previous bad experience has constantly been weighing her down, to the extent that she's always held herself back from telling Nanoha that she loves her, even if the latter has repeatedly been trying to trick her into doing that. Not only was this their first actual kiss, but also the first time Chidori actually said this out loud, even when Nanoha accidentally confessed and they started going out, she only replied with "me too". After Senpai's visit and Nanoha coming to her help, Chidori has finally been mostly released from these subconscious worries, leading to her surprising even herself by taking action at the fireworks.

Redo: I think you misunderstand. Of course their love is real. I think love game is a bit of a misnomer. It implies that the people involved know it's just a game. I don't think that's true for the most part. It's just inexperienced girls mistaking admiration and close friendship for love. A mistake of youth, in manga speak.
This is just the realisation that holy crap this is REAL real love. Maybe also the moment where it dawns on Chidori and Nanoha that they might want to move into a more... um... physical relationship.

I'm sure the attraction, even on a sexual level, has always been there, but they've just never been able to admit it to each other before. I do agree that in a sense this was a moment of awakening, though, especially for Chidori. It certainly may be a realization of real love, but less for her own feelings and more the full recognition that Nanoha truly does love her the way she loves Nanoha, and she's not going to pretend it's nothing like her Senpai did.

Actually I don't disagree with anything you just said. I think we just see the same thing, and describe it differently. I've always felt a hesitation in Chidori and Nanoha's relationship. If you look back over this discussion I've gotten into a few, lets say disagreements over it. So that has colored my view of this plot thread. You obviously didn't sense that (Not wrongly. I can't stress that enough.) So, you have a different point of view.

^Oh, I do see some hesitation. Specifically, on Chidori's part. As I mentioned before, there's always been her reluctance to actually say that she loves Nanoha. It's not that she didn't actually love her, but after having her heart broken by Igarashi, she seems to have been avoiding this out of a subconscious fear of the same happening again. Glad that that's out of the way now.

I’m delighted to see that you’re recovered from what seemed to be a rather serious case of yuri-skepticism.

May your good health continue, my friend!

Ahh i see, thanks! I reread them whenthey get here anyways hahaha

Can you really be that awkward after just a kiss? They won't have sex for years then.

Oh, I wouldn't doubt that at ALL! I'm just going on the visuals, so it's hard to tell what's going on. I'm seriously looking forward to reading it!
