Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS THE COMICS—the “original Nanoha comics” drawn by Kouji Hasegawa—are returning in three refreshed Nora Comics editions from Gakken on November 28, 2025. Packed with side stories, new manga and previously uncollected chapters that expand the A’s and StrikerS TV anime, they are being positioned as the perfect way to revisit Nanoha’s world before the brand-new 2026 TV anime Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance airs.
Nanoha’s original A’s and StrikerS comics return in new editions
The new line consists of three books: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s New Edition（魔法少女リリカルなのはA’s 新装版）and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS THE COMICS 1 & 2 New Edition（魔法少女リリカルなのはStrikerS THE COMICS 1・2 新装版）. All three are B6-size Nora Comics volumes releasing on November 28, 2025, with updated covers by Kouji Hasegawa and refreshed interiors aimed at long-time fans and new readers alike.
New additions in Nanoha’s A’s and StrikerS comic editions
The A’s volume collects eight side stories originally published in anime and comic magazines, including “A Day in Nanoha Takamachi,” “Fate Testarossa Takes an Exam” and “After the Aces,” plus a brand-new episode by creator Masaki Tsuzuki and artist Kouji Hasegawa at the end. It focuses on small moments of daily life and character growth that sit around the TV anime’s main battles.
StrikerS THE COMICS 1 New Edition tells an official bridge story set between A’s and StrikerS, full of foreshadowing that later pays off in the StrikerS TV series, and also includes a “Tsuzuki character design collection” and a Hasegawa-drawn chapter that never made it into the older edition. Volume 2 gathers seven episodes that dig into settings and character beats the StrikerS anime never had time to show, plus a newly added special chapter featuring a “combat demonstration” match where Nanoha faces off against Signum.
Reading order to revisit Nanoha before the EXCEEDS TV anime
If you want to prepare for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance in 2026, a clean route looks like this: rewatch the original Nanoha and A’s, then read the A’s New Edition to pick up its side stories, move on to StrikerS THE COMICS 1 & 2 New Edition as the bridge and expansion around StrikerS, and finally hop into the new EXCEEDS era via the official site and teaser video. Together, these three books neatly fill in the emotional and worldbuilding gaps that a 13-episode TV run simply cannot cover, making them ideal “refresher courses” before Nanoha’s next big battle.
