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.

Meanwhile, Section Six of the TSAB mobilise to confront a new group of villains wrecking havoc across the non-administered worlds: the Huckebein Family, whose members all carry the Eclipse Virus. Finding that conventional magical weaponry is useless against the [[Anti-Magic]] of the Eclipse Virus, the TSAB attempt to bring Tohma into their fold while the Huckebein try to do the same. |

Notice how the [[Genre Shift|"Magical Girl"]] was dropped from the title. Indeed this instalment departs from the signature ''Nanoha'' style, going further into [[Darker and Edgier]] territory than ever before, in rather sharp contrast to the concurrently running ''ViVid'' manga. Fandom reactions have been sharply divided. |

* [[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). |

* [[Webcomic Time]]: The manga started in July 2009. It took a year to get from the introduction of the main character to the first battle (about a day in-story), and another year to wrap up said battle (about an hour long). |
