The manga Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT (魔法少女リリカルなのはINNOCENT Mahō Shōjo Ririkaru Nanoha INNOCENT) is part of the official multimedia spinoff series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT, set in a world parallel to other continuities.
The plot of the series is known as Brave Duel, a motion-sensing simulation card game with team battles. The INNOCENT manga serves as an explanation of story and settings, and presumably a promotional material of the upcoming social game.
The manga is first published on CompAce magazine in July 2012 for the prologue, and from October 2012 for main chapters. It is illustrated by Shūichi Kawakami (aka SYU), who has been a doujin illustrator of the Nanoha series.

Characters
Edit
The series adopts a star system for the characters, starring most characters from other Nanoha productions. However, without any setting related to magic, humanoid characters are all human, e.g. Fate Testarossa (originally Artificial Mage), Reinforce (originally Unison Device), Wolkenritter (except Zafira), Materials and Gears; whilst Familiars and Zafira become pets.
Characters are mainly grouped into three teams, as follows:
- Hobby Shop T&H team
- In addition to Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa, the team also features Alisa Bannings, Suzuka Tsukimura and Alicia Testarossa.[1]
- Old Bookshop Yagami-dō team
- Featuring the Yagami family members with family name, e.g. "Signum Yagami".
- Granz Observatory team
- Featuring the Florian family and the Purple Sky family members. Characters from Materials are renamed, e.g. "Dearche Kings Claudia"; and their "magic circles" also become Formula Plates.
Settings
Edit
Generally, the movie version is adopted for "Device" designs and "magic circles".
