At its core, Nanoha is about the different types of families, and it seems that this time again it will be something of core importance, now with Filly.
Also, I hope Nanoha doesn't just upload to Instagram a photo of her lying in bed with Filly, or Fate will go crazy. But to be fair that may be the only bed in the whole town seeing as Filly is the only human there, if Fate arrives there the 3 of them may have to sleep together...

Miyuki, Nanoha's sister, was adopted, and I believe Kyoya, was the son of Shiro's first wife? I could be wrong about this, it's from Triangle Hearts, but until now I don't remember any of this lore making its way into Nanoha.

And woah, never thought we would ever see Suzuka and Alisa again, it's cool to see them as adults. Alisa looks cute with short hair too. (Page 6)

"nourousa.V" (Page 11)
I recognize all the other names, but is this a new character or am I just forgetting this person? Actually, is that Vita?

EDIT: Yeah that's Vita, her icon is the bunny thing on her hat.

Nanoha's big brother is her half brother, he is her father's son from previous marriage.
Nanoha's sister is actually her cousin. Her dad's sister, who is a cop in Hong Kong, dropped her on her brother who has been treating her as his daughter.

Part of deep lore on Takamachi's stemming from that eroge Triangle Hearts.

By any reasonable metric, Nanoha's siblings (half-brother, first cousin) are blood related to her and each other, at least assuming TH still holds, but the Japanese text really does look like "not blood related". Dunno if MT is being sloppy, or planning to change Nanoha's family on us after all this time.

That line is going to make such a mess to single digit number of fans that still care.
The only way I can interpret it is that Japanese don't consider cousins as directly blood related. But it's still terribly worded.

It's probably one of those things where languages don't get tranferrex properly cause there isn't a direct translation. Imma guess it's said in a way that they are marriable so they aren't "directly related". 1st cousin marrriages are legal in Japan, as are step-siblings. I dunno about half-siblings though I do remember reading there were members of the Imperial and aristocratic family marrying their half-sisters from another mother back in feudal times.

Unfortunatelly it was not that complicated. It's pretty much literally

I (too/same) { [blood (<subject) not connected/not related](this now is the attribute of following nouns>) older sister and older brother exist} it is like this.

This is the raw:

Did MT forget older sister is their first cousin, does for japanese 血がつながってない carry all implications as "not related by blood" does in western societies, or did MT intentionally change their status, I have no clue.
