That was such a beautiful arc for Mai!! 
I really loved it. <3 

I'm afraid Chidori & Nanoha will go back to volume-1-distance in public now, because Mai told them they should be more careful, if they want to keep it a secret. Argh! Did she have to say that? I was really hoping for them to finally tell their friends, especially since there were enough confirms that they'd be totally supportive of them! 
Oh well. 
Maybe them being awkwardly distant again will raise suspiciousness, though...

The second half was very mature. 
The first few chapter, however...

I don't get why bathhouses are always such a thing in Manga. At least for females. Is it really a thing in Japan for females to grope each other when they're naked, and all they ever talk about is their cup sizes?? 
I don't get it. If one of them were a guy, they'd call him a pervert and that he's sexually assaulting her by just staring at her breasts. Yet when it's another female, it's okay?? 
How do they even still see themselves as heterosexual when they clearly love women's breasts? Think about it...
