''Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force'' is a manga, part of the ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]]'' franchise. It's set six years after ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S (Anime)StrikerS|StrikerS]]'' and is considered the fourth season, even though ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vi Vid (Manga)ViVid|ViVid]]'' chronologically predates it by two years [[In -Universe]] and a few months in [[Real Life]]. It's running in Nyantype, Newtype's [[Spin-Off]] magazine.
 
The plot revolves around a new [[Lost Technology|Lost Logia]] called the Forbidden Book of the Silver Cross, which is somehow linked to a mysterious affliction known as the [[The Virus|Eclipse Virus]]. When a young traveller called Tohma rescues a girl called Lily from a series of cruel experiments involving the Forbidden Book, he too becomes infected with the Eclipse Virus. This grants him superhuman strength, incredible magical power, a potent [[Healing Factor]] and near-perfect [[Anti-Magic]] abilities, but also [[Super-Powered Evil Side|an uncontrollable thirst for murder]].
Line 14:
A four-panel comic based on the series, called ''Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force Dimension'', began serialization in Kadokawa's 4koma Nano Ace magazine on March 9, 2011.

==== ''MRLN Force'' provides examples ====
Line 25:
* [[Decompressed Comic]]: ''Force'' has been accused of Doing It Wrong, and it's especially easy to see why lately: one battle started around chapter eight and ended at chapter 15, taking up one and a half volumes. New ''Force'' chapters are released ''once a month'' but are prone to [[Schedule Slip|Schedule Slipping]] (or being released in two halves).
* [[Diabolus Ex Machina]]: Aside from [[Anti-Magic]], inducing these in the narrative seems to be the Huckebeins' main power.
* [[Dream Team]]: Special Service Section 6 adds a number of the Combat Cyborgs to Riot Force 6 from ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S (Anime)StrikerS|StrikerS]]''. They have yet to do anything though.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: A weird example. According to [[All There in the Manual]], the other Huckebein find Veyron a bit distasteful, but he hasn't really ''done'' anything they haven't.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: In chapter 19, Veyron and Arnage engage in a fight against other two Eclipse infected guys.
Line 33:
* [[Gut Punch]]: The [[Darker and Edgier]] tone of the series is settled quickly on Chapter 4 with Veyron welcoming Tohma {{spoiler|in a church filled with nun corpses}}, and specially cemented shortly after in Chapter 7 when Cypha {{spoiler|nearly killed Signum who was never truly defeated onscreen until that point}}. Things were never the same after that.
* [[He Knows Too Much]]: The fate of {{spoiler|Marty.}}
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Mariya Ranevskaya, who looks suspiciously like a tattooed punk version of Vivio. Doesn't qualify for [[Criminal Doppelganger]] because no one seems to have cottoned on [[In -Universe]].
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: Marty has this power above and beyond standard Eclipse healing. {{spoiler|So Arnage converts her [[Shapeshifter Weapon|Divider]] to [[Wave Motion Gun]] mode.}}
* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]]:
Line 41:
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Averted for Tohma's and Isis' Devices, which are the first non-unison types that speak Japanese and have proper conversations with their masters.
* [[Knockout Gas]]: Arnage's knockout gas has so far been the only thing to reliably stop Reacted Tohma's rampage.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Once again there's a good number of new characters added to the already sizeable cast from ''[[StrikerMagical SGirl (Anime)Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Striker S]]'', many of whom appear as [[Cameo|cameos]].
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: [[Shmuck Bait|Do not read this]] back-to-back with the [[Lighter and Softer|other]] currently running ''Nanoha'' manga ''[[ViMagical VidGirl (Manga)Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Vi Vid]]'' or you'll be in need of a new metaphorical neck before you know it.
** Within this story itself, the switch from Tohma's lighthearted travels with Lily to Teana visiting the site of an apparent Huckebein attack with many dead or severely wounded and back also counts.
* [[Murder Byby Cremation]]: A variation occurs in the first chapter. When Tohma was discovered sneaking into the facility containing Lily and successful gaining a reaction with her, the people in charge of that facility attempts to get rid of both Tohma and Lily by activating the lab's heat sterilization function, burning the entire area at temperatures that could melt metal. Fortunately, the Viral Transformation of Tohma had already completed by then, allowing him to protect both himself and Lily and subsequently escape.
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: Curren invokes this by {{spoiler|shanking Hayate so the Heimdall iceberg vanishes.}}
* [[People Jars]]: The research facility, where Lily was, had some. Though the ''things'' stored in there really couldn't be called "people" anymore.
Line 52:
* [[So Last Season]]: Taken [[Up to Eleven]], since neither magic, nor standard physical attacks have any effect on the Huckebein, requiring a complete arsenal swap for most of the cast. In an unexpected subversion most of the new prototypes also fail miserably.
* [[Stern Chase]]: Tohma spends much of the story fleeing the TSAB and law enforcement after breaking into the lab and saving Lily.
* [[Time Skip]]: 6 and 2 years after ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S (Anime)StrikerS|StrikerS]]'' and ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vi Vid (Manga)ViVid|ViVid]]'' respectively.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: {{spoiler|Signum and Hayate losing.}}
** Also {{spoiler|Vita scored her 2nd defeat against a new villain}} by [[Curb Stomp Battle|curbstomp]].
