Some great and key moments. Increased drama. Great Volumen

[Emi.acg · Rating 3 out of 5]

Aiiins más personajes nuevos 😭 y más batallas innecesarias, por un lado ya están en el ultimo día del torneo enfrentándose en un gremios vs gremios y por otro Lucy, la otra maga estelar y un pequeño grupo de FT que indluye a Natsu, Mira, Wendy y los felinos están en prisión y enfrentándose a otros personajes poderosos que acaban de aparecer liderados por la princesa del castillo que algo esconde.

I'm on the Goodreads page for this book...and the blurb is in another language. German, I think? I don't know. But my copy is in English. Just thought I'd clarify that Switched my edition to the English one, so you can just ignore that.

Also, I am a MASSIVE fan of the Fairy Tail anime. Some story arcs are definitely better than others (I liked the Tower of Heaven arc, the Edolas arc and I like the current Grand Magic Games arc. I hated the Key of the Starry Heavens arc, which- thank God- is only in the anime), but overall I think it's a good show. But the English dub for the current season has not been released yet. *dies* So I decided to turn to the manga to satisfy my need for Fairy Tail!

The only thing that slightly bothered me is that the illustrations are in black and white. But that's a minor complaint. You can never go wrong with Fairy Tail!

4/5 Another solid volume of Fairy Tail in the over long Grand Magic Games story Arc. We finally get more information and development on the Eclipse Gate and how it pertains to a Lucy. We also get more backstory on the dragons, Zeref, and Acnologia.

We also head into the final day of the games. Events have lead to slight roster changes in Fairy Tail and a huge power shift in Sabre Tooth after Sting and Rogue lost their fight to Natsu and Gajeel.

The arc is going well enough but I’m ready for it to be over but I think we have another 3-4 volumes left.

Natsu, Gray, Loki, and Princess Fiore prominently on the cover of Volume 36.

Read 2/21/22

Now I'm finished with the volumes from the main series that I own at the moment. What I love about this series is it's not about romance, but about the love we have for our friends. I think that is the most precious message of all... love can be in so many beautiful forms. Also there is a lot of awesome action in this series that even this Shojo lover enjoys! I'm excited to read more and finally finished this series as I get the next volumes, but I'm also in need of a break too. Next up will be Fairy Tail Zero and then I will choose between Fruits Basket, Sailor Moon, or Monthly Girl's Nozaki-Kun :)

Graaaaaay! Luxuuuuuuuus!! and...Jura-saaaaaaan!!! 😫😫😫😫💖💖💖💖 You guys are awesome! Sooo cool! To be honest, I wanted Jura-san to win the battle with Luxus because Jura-san is a member of Seiten madoushi. However, I was so excited!! My heart was beaten so much hardly while I was reading this scene. This volume became one of the best volumes for me🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Why you gotta be so mean Sabertooth?

[Lissibith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, what is up with shelving one of our main characters? Seriously! This better have an awesome payoff.

Okay, that's out of my system. Now... this was an enjoyable read. The tournament goes on and we get perhaps my favorite five person Fairy Tail team ever in Erza, Gray, Juvia, Laxus and Gajeel. Holy crap, I am loving this grouping.

We also get more of Mavis, and holy goodness, I think I may love her a little bit. :)

We also get to talk to a dragon who is awesome. And see some changes in some of the other guilds, which are kind of awesome and kind of not. It was great. I hate all the having to wait for the next issue...

What I call Grand Magic Games 2 has started. Gihihi.

[Meakuel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ich dachte mir schon, das Tote nicht lang tot bleiben bei der Serie. Es wäre aber tragisch gewesen mit Lectar. Auch wenn ich ihn persönlich nervig finde. Die Geschichte um die Drachen fand ich interessant und auch was Acnologia eigentlich ist. Mit der ganzen Eclipse-Geschichte habe ich nicht gerechnet.
Bei Loke auf dem Cover habe ich mich direkt gefreut, mich aber gefragt, wo er war, als Lucy gequält wurde. Es hätte ihm ähnlich gesehen einfach aufzutauchen, Lucy zu helfen und wieder abzuhauen, aber dann hätte man ja keine Dramatik wegen Rache, oder so. Also, ich hatte mich gefreut und fühlte mich veralbert, dass er dann doch nicht auftaucht.
Im Finale ist noch alles offen, der Letzte könnte noch der Erste werden. Das ist so typisch für Shounen.
Mavis ist wirklich niedlich und schlau, aber ist es nicht irgendwie Schummeln, wenn ein Gildenmeister, wenn auch ehemalig und verstorben, sich so einmischt?
Mir ist wieder aufgefallen, dass ich Rufus Design mag. Aber die Bibliothek wurde ganz schön ramponiert und ich frage mich, wie viel Schaden an der Stadt sie einkalkuliert haben.
Den Kampf an sich fand ich nicht gerade spannend. Fehlt noch Erza vs. Kagura. Weil letztere ja schon vor Rachsucht trieft.

EN RESUMEN
Sting y Rouge deben afrontar las consecuencias de su derrota. Al mismo tiempo, Gajeel descubre un cementerio de dragones y lleva a Natsu y a Wendy para que lo vean.

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
- La cantidad de información que tenemos en este volumen es brutal. Resolvemos grandes misterios con respecto a los dragones de Natsu, Gajeel y Wendy, con respecto al festival del dragón, con respecto a Acnologia. Todo sirve como base pero es al mismo tiempo muy interesante.
- Los giros de trama. El arco no afloja en ningún momento. Lo que parecía un simple torneo entre gremios se está convirtiendo en una batalla mucho más compleja y me encanta como está manejando todo el autor. Es un arco bastante impredecible (dentro de los parámetros de FT, obviamente).
Me encantó ese juego de tensión que le dio Mashima a la trama con la batalla de los dos frentes. Por un lado teníamos a Natsu y los demás intentando rescatar a Lucy, y por otro a el equipo FT intentando ganar los Juegos. Y ENCIMA MAVIS TOMANDO EL CONTROL, DEMOSTRANDO POR QUÉ FUE LA PRIMERA DIRECTORA. FUCK YES. Eso también me gusta de las mujeres de FT: la diversidad. Tenemos monstruos como Erza, Minerva, Mirajane, Kagura, pero también tenes mujeres que son fuertes en otros ámbitos.
- El crecimiento de Sabertooth. Los que empezaron como los típicos villanos se están convirtiendo rápidamente en mis favoritos, especialmente Sting y Minerva. A Minerva la amo porque es mala y poderosa y no le importa un carajo nada. Yes queen, go for it.

ASPECTOS NEGATIVOS
- Las peleas cortas y sin tensión siguen siendo el punto débil del manga. Aunque un poco se lo perdono a Grey because it was hot :)
- No me interesan los enemigos que Mashima inventó al último. Son una excusa para alargar la trama.

CONCLUSIÓN
El tomo que nos desliza ya hacia el final. Hay un montón de respuestas y una gran propuesta en la estructura del final que permite que varios personajes brillen.

Fairy Tail is pushing hard and rising up the ranks one battle after another. Digging deep and persevering is two big traits of the beloved guild! We learn more about the history of Dragons and we also see Fairy Tail make a quick change of plans...because much like the Fast and Furious franchise, nothing is more important than family/guild members! This is a fun volume which I felt flew by...but in a good way, as you should be itching for the next volume upon completing this one! Also, we have the introduction of the Hungry Wolf Knights! Jampacked goodness in another solid volume of Fairy Tail!

J'ai donc lu du tome 36 au 40. Et je dois avouer que ces tomes m'ont souvent fait sourire. Fairy Tail, c'est aussi une histoire d'amitié, et j'aime ce genre de moment.
Un petit frisson pour certains passages.
J'ai passé un très bon moment en les pages de ces tomes !

ENG
So I read from volume 36 to 40. And I must admit that these volumes have often made me smile. Fairy Tail is also about friendship, and I love that kind of moment.
A little thrill for some passages.
I had a great time in the pages of these volumes !

1. I loved how Sting reacted when Lector was blasted. You can hurt his friends, he can be defeated, but touch his best friend/cat and there will be hell to pay, (and then Rogue immediately hugging his cat was kind of sweet too).

2. It was also great to see Natsu needing to be tied up so he didn't just immediately go rescue Lucy with no plan. It just shows how close those two really are and how much she means to him.

4.25⭐️

Probably the best part of this volume was seeing the power that dragon slayer magic has for outside of the battlefield. Wendy was just so impressive with her abilities in the beginning portion of the volume. The opening scene at Sabor Tooth shock me though but the events after get more and more interesting as we see what happens in the final battle of the Great Magic Games. I loved everything about this but there was just something that didn't make it a 5 star for me.

[Gabriella · Rating 4 out of 5]

once again fairy tail serves by coming together and having one another’s back. their comradery is so strong. when lucy was captured they put their head together to work as a team. also mavis—the first master—really showcased her strategic abilities in the volume, which hopefully helps ft to obtain the WIN OF THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES!! We’ll see….

[Amanda Setasha · Rating 4 out of 5]

There's quite a good deal of emotions in this volume, plus actual plot. It was more enjoyable than previous ones by far.

It was good. Story was well written and art was nice. Just hard to not see One Piece in a lot of this manga.

Now they are under the palace.....
