That scene between Lucy and Aquarius is probably one of the top-3 scenes of the series. One to remember and deserves the 5 stars on its own.
Great development for this arc

So, Natsu’s doing the bulk of the fighting and taking the most direct hits, and his clothes, aside from some dirt, are completely fine. Lucy is on the sidelines and takes a couple blows, and her shirt is just shredded? Right...

Anyway, this volume feels like it’s treading water a little with some pretty underwhelming fights and some slightly nonsensical resolutions. (Like the end of Mira’s fight. Really? His single blow was enough to take out an enemy Mirajane couldn’t match? I don’t think so.)

But, similarly to how volume 44 was Wendy’s, 45 is Lucy’s (naturally, her breasts are the focus of an especially bizarre and gross exchange). And it really does sell Lucy’s commitment and resolve through some pretty extreme trials. I’ve always liked her, so I didn’t really need any additional buy-in for her plight, but a moment of sacrifice on her part (that I’d forgotten about) did take me by surprise and delivered a moment of genuine emotion.

This was followed by one of the series’ most bombastic moments, and actually made celestial magic seem potentially useful even at this tier of power, though at a fairly dramatic cost. So, there’s that.

3/5 - Good job, Lucy.

No sé si es porqué soy muy sentimental o que pero este pinche manga si que juega con mis emociones, no me deja indiferente aunque en ciertas cosas me haga enojar como lo del volumen anterior en otras me hace llorar como una niña pequeña y aunque siempre sea por las mismas cosas me hace sentir con el corazón llenito.

Ahora mismo en este capítulo Aquarius se sacrifico, no a sí si no su llave. Sigue viva pero ya no puede ser invocada, al menos de momento 🤷🏻‍♀️ que después resulta que encuentran una solución mágica y no era tan malo. Pero en fin, después de solo quedar Lucy por el sacrificio están todos de nuevo y ya por la lucha final.

Pd: me siento tan contradictoria :v

Yes! That's what I'm talking about. A fantastic, tense, emotional volume that gives Lucy a chance to really shine. Just fantastic. Much love!

😢😢😢😢 Ahhhhhhh! This volume is the saddest story so far!! I couldn’t read the scene that Lucy summoned the king of celestial spirits without crying!! I didn’t expect this happening so I was soooooooo shocked! Definitely, I read this story again and again.

EN RESUMEN
Wendy y Charles logran detener la activación de Face, pero Tártaro no se detiene y lanza su contrataque más peligroso.

ASPECTOS POSITIVOS
- Las peleas. Por fin Mashima le puso ganas a la cosa y creó mejores enfrentamientos con villanos más dignos. Logró hacer las escenas más interesantes y no tan fáciles de resolver.
Además me encantó la introducción del nuevo villano: the slut Mard Geer. El tipo recién fue introducido en este tomo y ya se llevó a medio gremio puesto. Encima habla de él en tercera persona. Iconic.
- ESE desarrollo con Lucy.

ASPECTOS NEGATIVOS
- Nada.

CONCLUSIÓN
Por fin vemos a Mashima tomar más riesgos con sus peleas y sacrificios. El tomo 45 es un tomo emocionante. Hay grandes peleas, buenos giros, flashbacks emocionantes y un desarrollo PERFECTO para Lucy, la verdadera salvadora de Tártaro.

Non-stop action is the story of the 45th volume of Fairy Tail! Fairy Tail barely scrapes by the victory, but Tartaros unleashes yet another monster: Mard Greer!!! This does remind me of Dragon Ball Super, with tough challenge after tough challenge just keeps coming at our heroes. With virtually the entire guild being swallowed...it's up to one final member to save the day! I will always praise Hiro Mashima's art and storytelling skills! This volume is consistent with the great things you have seen in the previous 44 volumes. I found the cover a bit fan-service friendly...but this entire series has had that all the time. I feel it's been upped a bit more and more as the series continues. I can argue for the first time in the series I start feeling fear of someone not making it thru the volume...and that alone is the emotional response you want from an action series! Great stuff!

Lucy ha salvato tutti, ma a quale costo?
È stato veramente doloroso leggere certe pagine di questo volume e mi sono commossa tantissimo.
Lucy non è inutile come molti dicono. Lucy ha invocato il Re degli Spiriti Stellari, Dio santo! Lucy ha dovuto sacrificare Aquarius ed è stato un costo altissimo. 💔

3.5/5: glad the girls are powering up but hate the trope of them being rescued just after they use their magic

It’s been 10 years but the scene with Aquarius still stings a little.

I like how each Fairytail guild member is there for each other - it just seems like a healthy amount of support 💗

Allora.

Avevo detto: "Basta, fanservice" quindi Mashima ha pensato bene di denudare ancora di più i personaggi femminili - in special modo Lucy, le cui tette ormai diventeranno protagoniste di uno spin-off apposito per loro. Non c'è inquadratura su un personaggio femminile che non contenga un paio di tette o un culo, non capisco perché questa necessità di mettere palloni sballonzolanti dappertutto, non fanno ridere come non fanno ridere le caratterizzazioni estreme e parodiate di certi personaggi di contorno.

Parlando di cose positive, invece, finalmente un certo personaggio ha fatto vedere quanto valeva.
