Storywise this is not the most fascinating arc, hoping it improves

[Emi.acg · Rating 4 out of 5]

Más tirado a 3.5 pero me pareció poco ponerle solo tres jeje y es que no me gusta el tema pero igual me agrada como esta siendo narrado todo y lo que esta sucediendo, igual me hace reír y todas esas cosas.

En este volumen se sigue con lo del torneo, estamos en el segundo día y ya se ve el plan Malvado por detrás quieren hacer algo que tiene que ver con el mundo de los espíritus estelares por lo que Lucy esta en el punto de mira. Por lo demás hubo un par de enfrentamientos, donde se destaca el de Elfman y el de la chica de Sabertooth que traerá un mini conflicto al siguiente volumen, por Natsu xd

GRAND MAGIC GAMES ARC!!

Ahhh so it seems that day two of the Grand Magic Games has revealed that not only does Natsu get motion sickness on moving vehicles but so does Gajeel… as well as every other dragon slayer. Hmmm interesting?!

Millianna is back! She and Ezra had a little reunion together. We learned that she’s now joined the mermaid heel guild! While Shô and Wally are still out journeying.

… but then it turns out that Millianna hates Jellal and wants him dead ):

Also what is this Eclipse? And what has it got to do with Lucy?

EN RESUMEN
Fairy Tail lidia con los resultados del primer día de los Juegos Mágicos y trata de encarar el segundo día con una actitud más positiva.

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 escena en la que Juvia se imagina cómo se sienten Grey y Lucy. Algunas veces el humor de FT es muy bueno y con Juvia Mashima obtuvo su mayor éxito en lo que a comedia se refiere. Me encanta cómo es incluso una forma en la que el autor se ríe de sus lectores y de los distintos ships que hay en el fandom. Ya lo hizo cuando hizo a Lyon enamorarse de Juvia y lo vuelve a hacer ahora.
- El acento en la familia y en los lazos que unen a todos los miembros de FT es siempre un lado positivo para mi. Mashima realmente logró venderme a esta familia llena de locos. Me gustó mucho que se empiece con los miembros siendo ellos mismos, sintiéndose mal por haber perdido pero sin perder la esperanza. Y luego esa escena super tierna en la que Natsu trata de ganar la carrera aunque esté débil y le confirma a Sting que no lo hace porque le importe lo que piensen los demás de ellos, sino por sus compañeros que los esperaron por largos 7 años y que sufrieron en su ausencia. Natsu siendo Natsu.
- La batalla de Elfman y Kagura. Las mejores del tomo, sin dudas. Bacchus me caía muy mal así que la victoria de Elfman la grité con ganas. Además, el tipo se merecía un momento, especialmente después de la Isla Tenrou.
Y KAGURA???? WHAT A WOMAN. Encima me gustó como Mashima nos hizo creer que Sabertooth iba a ganar para luego darte la vuelta en el último momento. Una muy sólida introducción para su personaje.
- La escena final. Otro momento favorito con Natsu como protagonista. Obvio que iba a ir a destruir todo sólo porque humillaron y desterraron a Yukino. De nuevo, Natsu siendo Natsu.

ASPECTOS NEGATIVOS
- El fan service.
- Odio que Mashima haya decidido reescribir lo del mareo de Natsu y ahora es una cosa que comparten todos los Dragon Slayers??? Por qué?????? Era una peculiaridad de Natsu. Por qué se la quitas Mashima??????
- Algunas de las batallas fueron aburridas. Odio que use a alguien tan fuerte como Mirajane sólo para fan service. Podría haber sido una pelea increíble.

CONCLUSIÓN
El arco de los Juegos Mágicos sube un nuevo nivel con este nuevo volumen. Las batalla flaquean un poco, algunas siendo muy buenas mientras que otras cayendo en lo mismo de siempre. Sin embargo, el ritmo te mantiene entretenido y pegado a las páginas deseando saber cómo continúa la historia.

The beginning gave me a hangover. One of the chapters is nothing but tits lol

[Kanna Ogihara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t like neither Lector nor frosh. Especially, Frosh always makes me irritated .👺👺👺 Can’t he say only “Fro I think so too.”?!?! Please don’t speak anymore. On the other hand, Bacchus is soooo cool🙀💖 I think he is really a strong man so perhaps he will be one of key persons in this battle competition. I cheer up you, Bacchus!! 😻😻😻

You go Natsu

[BLüE · Rating 1 out of 5]

I LOVE these comics so much, but bro.... WHY do you gotta sexualize the youngins so much?! You literally have pictures(drawings) of nude kids and adults posing for the "magic guild's magazine", and half nude underage girls with their titties popping out left n right, and up-skirt pix all throughout the issues. This manga is meant to be read by children! Like I'm trying SO HARD not to be a prude about this shit but when you show me naked and half naked underage people I'm just like.... wtf, surely this is meant for "adults" right, but then when the kindle rating says the target age is 12-18 yr olds and reading grade level is 7-12 I'm like hold the fuck on here! On their own the stories are very wholesome and sweet and send a good message throughout, BUT if these were ACTUAL photographs stored on MY PHONE, I'd SURELY have agents knocking on my door, putting ME in cuffs and carting me and my children away, lol! What's REALLY fucked up is that You even sexualize Wendy, the 12yr old lil girl in these stories, and the ONLY reason it's probably not any worse than it currently is, is bc the girl is flat chested and she bitches about it constantly! I THOUGHT, nay, I hoped it'd all stop and atleast be more "appropriate" after the 7 years with the guild members being gone, but NOOO, you somehow managed to keep them all the same age nearly a decade later! It's seriously like watching Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused saying "I keep getting older but they stay the same age"... Hiro, I love your work, but I'm concerned for ya buddy. You could atleast be like every other pervy letch out there and just "pretend" to NOT know their real ages and then just let the readers decide "how old or young they are" internally, I guess, but the fact that they're all labeled as like 12-17 yr olds with lengthy bios and are STILL dressed like sex workers.... buddy... c'mon now. Step one is admitting you have a problem, lol. 🤨

Now, Excuse me while I go pour myself a double and go wash out my eyes with bleach. Hopefully I'll eventually be able to unsee that creepy old dude with the tattoo where his tiny weenis should be, and the naked image of the scrawny 16yr old blue pegasus boy outta my head, but I HIGHLY doubt it'll be tonight...... You scarred me Hiro, you scarred me real deep! 🧏🏻‍♀️

The tournament continues! As we're moving forward, we're learning more about the other six guilds in the battle (Less Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale since we know them from before) and some of the pictures seem to be a little more complicated than others. After a pair of rough losses the first day, Fairy Tail team A is definitely getting all fired up.

One amusing thing, to me at least, was that we learned a little something about dragon slayer physiology. Not sure what exactly it means or what to think of it, but there it is.

Also, there are a couple battles in this I liked quite a lot. Elfman vs. Baccus was probably my favorite. It seemed like a huge mismatch, and one that if Fairy Tail won would be pulled back at the end after a long and drawn-out battle. But it actually moved pretty quick, and Elfman's quick thinking genuinely impressed me.

I could have done without the particular style of fight Mira had, though I was pretty pleased with how it ended. And what happened to Yukino was a little... eep. Not sure what to think of the action it prompted from Natsu, except to say that I'm not surprised. :)

[Greg · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5/5 I've put down Fairy Tail for the last couple months now it's time to get back into the mix. Still in the middle of the Grand Magic Games Arc. There is some background plot going on involving the council wanting to kidnap Lucy which is pretty meh so far but it hasn't built up yet.

The games this time around were pretty goofy. A mix of serious fights like Elfman V. Bacchus. But then the games involving the Dragon Slayers is stupid. Then there's Mirajane V. Jenny Realight which is also dumb but at least it's sexy so I will forgive it. I am also here for the fanservice after all.

The last 2 Celestial Keys also come in to play as well. And it's during the volumes last couple chapters where things pick up a little.

Fairy Tail Team A, Bacchus, Kagura, and Yukina on the cover of Volume 33.

Elfman had such an awesome moment in this volume! I LOVED that about this entry that for once it was one of the secondary characters that stole the show! It was also interesting learning more about the Celestial Wizards (and seeing some new keys too!). I just Mirajane had a real fight, although I love this series for the friendship aspect and can ignore fan service for the most part, this one was a little annoying.

[Stephen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume is heavy on the action (again) like last volume and so to not ruin the revelations one has to avoid saying too much. Fairy Tail starts a bunch of side bets for the winner of matches and the stakes are pretty HIGH!!! Meanwhile we learn that 12 keys can bring about something...something EPIC! Wendy is kidnapped and a terrible vision hangs over the Fairy Tail guild! Lots of story and action packed into this exciting and always entertaining volume of Fairy Tail.

[Lauren Schnoebelen · Rating 3 out of 5]

All of the motion sickness!!!! That was the funniest thing and I'm happy to learn this weird fact lol. Other than that Elfman's battle was great to read and hearing more about celestial wizards is probably one of my favorite magics to learn about. A lot happened in this volume that builds for the next coming events but at the same time, it's not as memorable as I would have hoped.

[Jeni · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the main story, the hints of the bigger story and the looks into other guilds, my favorite part was actually in the bonus chapter. It was just kind of sweet how Blue Pegasus stuck together, and from a shrewd business perspective probably increased the magazine sales once word gets out.

[Amanda Setasha · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too much fan service, but one chapter made me rate this a bit higher than the others.

[nidah05 (SleepDreamWrite) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good volume.

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some of this was a little on the naughty side, but it was fun to read all the same. There was a cliff hanger and I can't wait for the next one.
