Trivia / Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force

• Fake Russian: Mariya Ranevskaya's name sounds like she comes from the fantasy equivalent of Russia.
• Franchise Killer: While Force is still only seemingly Quietly Cancelled, nothing else has been done in the original continuity since, with movies being Continuity Reboot or manga being set in an Alternate Universe.
• Quietly Cancelled: There has never been an official announcement, but all signs point towards the series having been quietly canceled in 2013: the last (half-)chapter was published in July 2013; the series officially went "on hiatus" in September 2013, with zero updates since; the manga's artist Yukari Higa presumably fulfilled her remaining contractual obligations by instead illustrating The Movie 1st supplementary manga between November 2013 and May 2016; and finally, the Nyantype magazine, where Force ran, was shut down altogether by Kadokawa in November 2017. There have also been rumors and speculations that parts of Force's story arc had been cannibalized by Reflection and Detonation, as a result of a bunch of Seven Arcs employees walking out on Masaki Tsuzuki in early 2013 over Creative Differences and taking the original The Movie 3rd script rights with them; if that is true, then we will likely never see the conclusion of Force as it was originally intended.
• Schedule Slip: Force was a bad, bad offender. In the first 45 months of its "monthly" publication, only 30 chapters have been released, because half of the chapters were split up and published over two months, while some months went without updates at all. This was especially egregious since ViVid, running in parallel, hadn't missed a single deadline in the eight years it was in publication.
