As Volume 6 of Rainbows After Storms opens, the school trip looms large. Or, it would do, if Chidori and Nanoha hadn’t had a fight that leaked into their public lives just before it. 

So, while planning group activities and buying cute underwear for the sleepover together with their friends, the two are conspicuously not speaking. Even when their friends point it out, they just patch it up a little. Until the final day of the trip, when their friends are very clear that they have ruined the trip for themselves, each other and for everyone. That, finally gets them to talk about the problem. 

The problem is, in a word, Mai. Nanoha’s former basketball team kouhai has managed to accidentally on purpose sow discord. This will have to be addressed, but first, Nanoha and Chidori are going to have to patch things up. Which they do. Spoilers, but the cover kind of gives it all away. ^_^

We are halfway through this series and Nanoha and Chidori have just expressed their feelings out loud. Are things are going to get hot and heavy from here on out? No, but that is not why you are reading this series. It’s a gentle, slow, coming together of two girls in love and that’s pretty much it. But it is cute. ^_^

As I said of the Japanese volume, sometimes it’s just nice to read something nice. ^_^
