Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force (魔法戦記リリカルなのはForce Mahō Senki Ririkaru Nanoha Force, "Magical War Chronicle Lyrical Nanoha Force"), is a manga that takes place six years after Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS. Like other major installments of the primary continuity, its story focuses on a Lost Logia, the Bible of Silver Cross, a magical tome based off an Ancient Belkan artifact, and sees the former members of Riot Force 6 join forces once again to form Special Duty Section 6. The series is illustrated by Yukari Higa (of Shina Dark fame) and written by Masaki Tsuzuki.

The series was put on an indefinite hiatus in July 2013, after 31 chapters had been published. During the hiatus, artist Yukari Higa went on to illustrate ORIGINAL CHRONICLE Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The 1st (2013–16) instead, before moving on to other projects. Furthermore, the Nyantype magazine ceased publication in November 2017.[1] Concepts from the series would later be reused for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection and Detonation.

Title[]

The manga's title is the first one in the series to not contain "Magical Girl" in it, signifying the departure from the original magical girl genre (which has been a continuous trend in the series for a long time).

The subtitle "Force" can also be interpreted as a pun on "fourth" in Japanese pronunciation, because Force is chronologically the fourth major entry in the main Nanoha continuity to star Nanoha Takamachi in a major role (SSX didn't feature her at all, while ViVid focuses on Vivio). Additionally, the new heroine Lily is also coded Strosek-4th.

Bound volumes[]

The tankōbon release of Force contained additional information on the series' setting, particularly, the Magic Dictionary. Six bound volumes have been released so far:[2]

  • Volume 1 contains chapters 00 through 04.
  • Volume 2 contains chapters 05 through 09.
  • Volume 3 contains chapters 10 through 14.
  • Volume 4 contains chapters 15 through 19.
  • Volume 5 contains chapters 20 through 24.
  • Volume 6 contains chapters 25 through 29.

A fully colored version of the tankōbon, titled Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force true colored, is also being released. However, due to the suspension of Force since June 2013, only volume 1 to 4 have been released so far.

Chapters[]

All chapters were originally given English titles in the Japanese manga, but official katakana spellings were added retroactively later. Each chapter title is fully styled as "Record0X:「Title」", except the prologue, which was simply "Record00".
