Fin de un arco y comienzo de uno nuevo, con este ya me habría alcanzado y seguiría con la historia nueva.
Pues todo se resolvió y Lisanna volvió a casa. Ahora van a empezar las pruebas para ascender a clase S, 8 candidatos y c/u con un compañero 8 caminos y solo un puesto pero ojo, hay un personaje que está buscando a Natsu y la visión de Charle no promete nada bueno 🙉

Starting a new arc. I may be mistaken about the upcoming installments, but I believe this one will be miningless

EN RESUMEN
El arco de Edolas está llegando a su fin (GRACIAS A DIOS) y ahora nuestros protagonistas tienen que viajar a una misteriosa isla, superar una serie de pruebas y tratar de convertirse en el nuevo mago S del gremio.

ACLARACIÓN:
Todos estos puntos están de alguna forma influenciados por conocimientos y opiniones que ya tenía sobre la historia gracias a la adaptación del anime y al ser esta una relectura.

ASPECTOS POSITIVOS
- El dibujo de Mashima siempre lo consideré como de los más sólidos. Es como el punto medio entre saber hacer planos geniales y épicos, crear un buen ambiente y expresiones en los personajes y entre saber cuando recurrir a los espacios blancos o sobrecargar una viñeta (I'm looking at you Oda). Su estilo es claro. Dudo que haya escenas en la que no entiendas lo que está pasando.
- Los nuevos personajes (GAJEEL TIENE UN GATO CHICOS) y las nuevas dinámicas entre los ya existentes que promete este nuevo arco traen gran cantidad de escenas divertidas y emocionantes. Juvia está en el examen?! Loke y Grey son un equipo?! Cana y Lucy?! Wendy participa?! Gajeel y Levy?! ESE personaje está acá también?! Gildarts vs. Natsu?! SÍ A TODO. Mashima apuesta con lo más fuerte de la historia y lo que hace de Fairy Tail un placer no tan culposo: sus personajes. Es un arco muy importante para la serie en general porque cambia toda las reglas del juego y este inicio sin duda lo deja en claro.

ASPECTOS NEGATIVOS
- El fanservice. Siempre el fanservice. No se preocupen, se vuelve peor con cada tomo.
- El arco de Edolas. Terminó la tortura pero el final no hizo del proceso algo mejor. El resultado es un final mediocre e insulso. Lo peor es que este arco no deja ninguna marca en la historia en general, solo busca resolver lo de los gatos y Mystogan (y otros). Todas las escenas que se suponen tenían que ser emocionantes no lo son y no llegan al lector. Si la resolución de todas las cosa sin sentido de Edolas no se hubiese llevado la mitad del volumen tal vez el rating hubiese sido otro.
- Vamos a hablar del peor error que cometió Mashima a lo largo de esta historia. O uno de los tantos (porque hay muchos lamentablemente). Lisanna y la imposibilidad de Mashima para mantener muertos a sus personajes. No seas cagón hermano. La muerte de Lisanna tenía tanto sentido y le daba un empujón emocional a personajes como Natsu, Mirajane y Elfman, e incluso a todo el gremio. Deshacer eso es retroceder en su desarrollo de una manera brutal. Lo buscó resolver todo en pocas páginas y terminó siendo todo muy apresurado.

CONCLUSIÓN
Este nuevo tomo en la historia nos da una conclusión penosa a un arco argumental que venía en picada desde su inicio con sus giros y explicaciones sin sentido. Sin embargo, Mashima supo volver a enfocar la trama en los aspectos que más enriquecen la lectura y con sólo unas cuantas páginas, el arco de la Isla Tenrou asegura una aventura mucho más interesante y sólida.

We are finally finished up with the Edolas arc and although not my favorite arc in the whole series, Natsu says one of my favorite lines in the entire series while reciting Fairy Tail's official goodbye with Mystogen/Jellal which says "Even when you screw up you gotta live life with all the strenght you got all the time. You can't go thinking of your life as something small or not worth it. And you can't ever forget the friends you love." Ahh I love it and very wise words too, this is why I love Japanese fiction in general because from what I've read it focuses on community/friendships rather romance/sex.

This volume also starts the S-Class Test for our Fairy Tail members which will carry on until volume thirty if I remember right. I will say that there was one thing that did annoy me in this volume and a common theme in Fairy Tail (and in shonen manga) Lisanna is alive again even though we established her death. I personally think death should be final, and her return was annoying for me..

Okay folks let's buckle up for the next arc, I'm almost at the end of what I own with the series which is thirty-six volumes as much as I love Fairy Tail, I will need the break from it lol. I'm glad I will finally be reviewing all the volumes I own so now I won't have to reread the whole series when I bulk buy the next batch for this series. See you in volume 25. :)

Yay Zeref.
Also, Gajeel and Levy teaming up is such a slow burn tease ughhhhh

[Gustavo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Primero que nada lo más importante: lo tierno que es Gajeel con Lily como su gato acompañante es lo más lindo del mundo, necesito una aventura de ellos dos solos.

El final del arco de Edolas estuvo bueno y las revelaciones estuvieron interesantes, pero el tema de las ordenes de Charles y Happy, y el rol de los Exceed me parece que no estuvo muy bien cerrado, como que no tuvo sentido, pero... no me importó. Fue un lindo final.

Después de eso tenemos OTRO torneo. Esta vez, son las pruebas para que uno de los magos se convierta en un mago clase S, y empezó bastante entretenido con la elección de compañeros para la prueba, que dejó ocho equipos bastante interesantes. Veremos que pasa.

[Lissibith · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's time for the S-class wizard exam. Only one wizard gets to advance, and there are eight candidates. but Carla has a bad feeling about the exam, and it looks like a mysterious and deadly new character is on a collision course with Fairy Tail.

Cana finally takes center stage in this issue, to an extent. I've been wondering for ages about what her deal is, and it looks like this may be the arc where we learn more about her past and what motivates her.

Also, the reunion betwen Lysanna and Mira and Elfman was really really sweet and happy-sad. Loved it!

[Rihards Husko · Rating 2 out of 5]

God help me, I’m barely a third of the way done with this series. Its bad, inconsistent, and convenient writing, and its relentless assault of questionable fanservice were a lot easier to bear when I was younger and reading along on a weekly-ish basis.

The arcs flow into one another with the same grace and elegance of a grandfather tumbling down a staircase. I know writing an ongoing weekly series is exceptionally challenging, but the author, unfortunately, just does a bad job of it.

[Amanda Setasha · Rating 3 out of 5]

Literally wanted to rate this 4 stars because that awful arc ended.
Disappointingly rated it 3 stars because the next arc is a summer fan service arc.

Natsu tells Mystogan to fight him for real. Like proper punches and kicks
Natsu gives Mystogan the ‘Fairytail send off’ but his way. With the same rules that Erza gave Shô, Millianna and, Wally. After he gives his farewell he is ‘defeated’
The exceeds and earth-wizards are being sucked back to earth, since all the magic in Edolas has been drawn back to the Anima! Even Lily!!!
Queen Chagot reveals that they sent 100 exceed eggs to earth. Carla has a gift of foresight herself, and she had created her own ‘orders’ based on fragmented visions of Edolas’s future
Queen Chagot is Carla’s mum… and the couple who were exiled and on that farm are Happy’s :3
PANTHERLILY IS TINYYYY
And Lisanna? Is in earthland…? Wait it IS Earth-Lisanna
When she went on the job with her siblings and knocked unconscious, she was sucked through a small anima pocket into Edolas
Edolas Elfman and Mira already knew Lisanna wasn’t from Edolas, but didn’t tell her they knew
OH AND IT WAS HER DEATH ANNIVERSARY!!
She runs to them at her grave (major goosebumps)
The guild celebrates her return and talk about the differences of the Edo-Fairy’s
I love how much Gajeel boasts about Lily
The new Magic Council is deciding what is to be done with Fairytail, Gran Dima (the new chairman of MC) decides that FT has one more problem before he will force them to disband
Some man in the woods is drinking by the river and wolves come to attack but he is more afraid of his power to hurt them rather than being hurt. (Yes I am fully aware who this man is, but for the sake of the element of surprise, I pretend I don’t know)
He says Natsu’s name? After claiming the world rejects him…
Cana joins Lucy for a bath, asks about how her relationship with her dad is going then casually drops she’s been thinking of leaving the guild… huhhhh?
Mira claims that she always says that around this time of year AND then everyone in the guild is going crazy to do jobs
Lily and Erza were practicing their sword fighting

-Tenrou Island Arc-
The S-class wizard test is here! The qualifying wizards are: Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Elfman, Cana, Fried, Levy (YAYYYYYYY), Mest Gryder(?)
They will take place on ‘Sirius Island’ a sacred ground for the FT guild
Carla see’s a concerning vision: Cana crying, a hand on the ground limp, a very concerned Natsu, and an unknown man
Levy is so damn cute and prettyyyyy!!!
The contenders can pick a partner to do the trials with
At some point a team may have to fight Erza or Mira or… Gildarts….
Contenders and Partners:
- Natsu+Happy
- Gray+Loke/Leo
- Fried+Bickslow
- LEVY+GAJEEL (IM KICKING MY FEEET!!)
- Cana+Lucy
- Juvia+Lisanna
- Elfman+Evergreen
- Mest+Wendy
Cana has been nominated 5 times now
Sirius Island is the resting place of Mavis Vermillion, the first Fairytail master rests
Fried puts up an enchantment to give them a head start, Levy and Ever can override it but the choose to only allow their own group through
LEVY IS SUCH A QUEEN
Cana and Lucy go the path of battle, where they’re put against Fried and Bickslow
Fried asks for more clothes to be put on the girls, giving Cana the idea of summing lots of bikini wearing women
AQUARIUSSSSSS
Fried and Bickslow go down. They did it on purpose though, and debt repayment?
Natsu goes down the path to fight Gildarts..

I absolutely LOVE the amount of Gajeel + Levy we got. I love them so much!!!

I could link this review instead of writing my own for the rest of the volumes of this series that I own (up through vol. 39, for the record), since I've been saying similar things in mine for quite some time, but that would be lazy, so here goes.

The first part of this volume puts the finishing touches on the Edolas arc. The cat folk all come to Earthland, because it's more fun to have them there than to leave them behind on Edolas.

After that, a character long thought dead is--with no foreshadowing whatsoever, per this series' normal--found to be still alive. I understand an author's reluctance to let young, hot female characters stay dead, but still, this kind of nullifies any impact their absence might have had previously in the story, and also makes one think that any future death could also be reversed. Oh well, no sense in taking a series that has a rather... freewheeling approach to plot very seriously.

Next comes what looks to be a lengthy arc where Fairy Tail's annual "S Class" challenge has come around. It's being held on a tropical island, so of course there's a bunch of fanservice with women in swimsuits.

There's a character in a separate scene or two who I don't think we've met before (I honestly don't remember half of the characters beyond the main cast, so we might have seen him (shrug)) who kills animals and plants in his proximity. Given what I said a couple of paragraphs ago, there's no need to see him as the slightest threat to our cast.

I don't think I've read this far in any battle manga before. This isn't to say that I've made it this far in Fairy Tail because of its outstanding quality. :D The art's pretty good, and the characters are rather endearing in a one-note way, and it isn't an accident that what I'm saying feels a lot like damning with faint praise. It's a decent thing to read as a break between grown-up books, but there's no way on earth those 39 volumes will come along with me when I retire.

This will be my full review for this entire series. I already read this comic from volume 1-30. Suppose there 50 volume more of this series but I prefer not to finish it as I don't really like the time-skip idea in this series.

To clarify, I love the idea of time-skip. But, in this series, I really hate it. It make Natsu and other main member weaker. Why make them weaker? I want to see MC progress throughout the series. Then, suddenly become weaker. Not to mention when MC want to win each battle, power of friendship keep coming back each battle.

Furthermore, there are a lot of un-explained things happened in this series. The dots are not connected rather than scattered throughout the series. It just there to fill the plot-hole. Rather than explaining, Mr Hiro keep continuing the series and keep adding new characters each volume.

So, after the time-skip, I determine to stop reading this series. I don't want to ruin my memories of this awesome series. For most part, this series actually had huge potential because of interesting and lovable character, but the plot is keep on damaging this series slowly.

4/5 Volume 24 wraps ups the goofy Edolas Arc. Definitely not my favorite arc but it wasn’t terrible. However now we’re moving into the Tenrou Island Arc where 8 Fairy Tail Members go to take their test to become S-Rank wizards. This arc is looking more interesting to me so let’s hope.

The candidates for the test are Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Cana, Levy, Freid, Elfman, and a previously unknown member named Mest. Each person is also able to bring one partner with them. Natsu chooses Happy as his partner so this should be entertaining. In the meantime Carla is having a premonition that something terrible will happen at the exam.

This volume also had a shocking reveal about Lisanna.

The cover for 24 features our 8 test candidates and the 3 Exceed Cats.

I took almost a month break from the last volume.
Read 12/3/21

Natsu makes a great sacrifice so that peace may reign in Edolas! Meanwhile an unexpected individual once thought dead…turns out to be very much alive! A lot of emotions carry the first half of this volume while the second half deals with Magic Counsel…and their short fuse on Fairy Tails antics…. which I am positive is a prelude to more things to come, and in this book, it usually does not take long for these situations to come to a head. The next up is the Fairy Tail S Rank Tournament! This is something that seems awesome and even though intense, is a break from the occurrences that have kept the Guild jumping beyond anyone’s imagination other than its creator Hiro Mashima. Art is beautiful as always and story is fun and lighthearted. Another winner in the long running series!

[Kacie]

Thoughts on this volume:
• Lisanna coming back and the NaLu part of me kicking back into gear LOOK AT LUCY LOOKING AT HIM ALL CUTESY AND FOND AND SHIT. SHE'S BLUSHING.
• I don't get why the exceed didn't just claim their kids tbh, like Lucky my man, just tell Happy you're his dad. He's like six, there's some things he's going to need to know about life soon that Natsu cannot explain.
• Nobody take that goddamn cat from Gajeel, so help me, god.
• TENROU ARC! TENROU ARC! NOBODY CALLS IT FUCK AS SIRIUS ISLAND THAT IS TENROU!!!
• Once again this is a PEAK FT story line.
• Cana drama is so good, I can't wait for it to get going again.
• I cannot for the life of me remember if Loke ends up fighting against Lucy at any point during this arc... would he be able to?

La saga di Edolas è giunta al termine in questo volume e un po' ne sono felice, perché è quella che mi ha presa di meno, nonostante il world building sia pazzesco e gli scontri siano stati bellissimi da vedere, soprattutto quello tra Gray e Sugar Boy: se già prima adoravo il personaggio di Gray adesso lo amo di più, potrei far concorrenza a Juvia, ahahaha!
È iniziata anche la saga dell'isola di Tenro, ma da questo volume prendo una piccola pausa da Fairy Tail, perché in biblioteca si fermano al numero 24 e con calma devo recuperare i prossimi sul Kindle e nel frattempo approfitto per recuperare un po' di letture da Kindle unlimited.

aww so mystogan is accepted as the prince in the eyes of the people of edolas. and then fairy tail is sucked back into the anima along with the population of exceed all to return to earth-land.

I’m hoping that happy with have a chance to be with his parents!

Wait… is Carla the daughter of the queen? so she is actually a princess? ahhh

Gajeel got his cat, heheh. I’m excited to see if they make a good duo.

…and Lisanna is back for real? Omg what happened to her was so sad I cried ):

Who’s going to become the next S-Class Wizard?!

3.5⭐️

The second half of this volume was great but I didn’t love it as much as I would with other volumes. Even though the Edolas concept was interesting, I didn’t really feel the connection or excitement I normally do with most volumes of Fairy Tail. I do feel though that I’m getting back into the grove now with the second half and I’m ready for the next couple of volumes to come to the library as quickly as possible!

Une ambiance monstrueuse

J'ai retrouvé un regain d'énergie dans ce tome. On est encore dans une quête secondaire mais celle-ci vaut le coût:

Qui aura donc le privilège de devenir rang S pour les quêtes à venir.

Soulevez la jaquette et vous aurez le plaisir de découvrir la trame prévue par l'auteur ! Je les garde tout le temps pour la fin du tome et je dois vous mettre en garde que ça spoile probablement le tome suivant...

I've read up to volume;
#25: ★★★☆☆ but i don't like the cover, so... I chose this one as the one i'll rate.


i really disliked this arc. it was boring and i hated the new characters
the island arc seems promising so, crossing my fingers!

Gajeel starting to bond with Lily and Levy was interesting, and I’m happy to be getting to know more about Cana, but this one just had way too many perverse jokes. Even Fried and Bickslow being gentlemen kind of got ruined.
