I started reading Fairy Tail some time way back in 2012. But I stopped. Because at the time, I was reading One Piece, and still, One Piece is my ultimate Shounen manga favourite. But I really hate waiting for volumes to come out and I really hate waiting for updates. Lately, I haven't been reading much manga, nothing seemed to catch my eye. Until I started reading A Court of Mist and Fury which really lacks in hardcore action (as one might expect from YA, and I suppose I'm just in a very actiony mood atm). And on a whim, I picked Fairy Tail up again. I had really liked it to begin with, but on reading now, on reading from chapters 100 to volume 55 I realise, I have missed it. I have missed the rough, tumble, reckless and glorious punch ons that stupid (but utterly loveable and totally devoted) male protagonists (and the female protagonists) get into in shounen manga. THIS, Fairy Tail, was what I really needed to tide me over while I read ACOMAF (romance orientated). I guess I also needed a reminder of the values that many Japanese manga strongly promote in their stories - FRIENDSHIP, FRIENDS, FAMILY. They are so important. And I love it. I love that fighting for their friends, fighting for the meaning of 'family' is the core to mangas like Fairy Tail, One Piece, Naruto...

BUT yes, anyway, omfg, the latest volumes has me dying for more. It's starting to get really intense, and I'm wondering if we're nearly to the end?

I really love the Fairy Tail gang it seems. I like the plot more in One Piece, but Fairy Tail has strength in its themes.

All the characters are wonderful, I love them.

And yep, that's all I have to say!

(I will say, there's still too many stereotypical female bodies in Fairy Tail, and the classic -.- panty shots, naked scenes, but unlike some shounen manga, it comes across as very modest/tame in Fairy Tail - actually I should say it's somewhat respectable, and not as perverted as others.)

Fairy Tail neer stops being awesome. It's getting better every day.

Natsu affronta Zeref, il quale gli svela la verità su END e la nascita dello stesso Natsu; scopriamo anche tutta la verità sui Dragon Slayer e il loro scopo, e non succede altro tra i due. Questo però non vuol dire che lo scontro sia finito perché infatti sia Fairy Tail che le altre gilde sono alle prese con i pericolosi Spriggan 12. Lucy intanto deve affrontare Bradish che le rivelerà il passato di sua madre, una parte molto interessante e toccante che mostra come anche la storia degli inizi si ricolleghi a quella di adesso, con tutti i pezzi del puzzle che si incastrano l'uno con l'altro senza troppe sforzature nel quale tutto viene spiegato o finalmente rivelato. Mi piace anche come venga dato spazio anche a dei personaggi che negli ultimi volumi sono stati dimenticati o sono rimasti in secondo piano e la loro comparsa me li fa anche rivalutare: non posso non citare Luxus che sul finale del volume ho trovato davvero fantastico (e non è mai stato un personaggio che mi piaceva, anzi!). Questa saga finale mi sta prendendo molto, sono molto fiduciosa per il finale di questa appassionante serie.

[Kanna Ogihara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really love you, Aquarius .🧜‍♀️ She always complains to Lucy but she protects Lucy every time. Consequently, I thought “Perhaps, Aquarius is coming!?” when a vase was fell down. I feel a common shounen manga has a firm friendship between boys and boys (sometimes girls). However, there are many friendships between girls in Fairy Tail so this is one of my favorite points.

This is the last book I have in my manga pile from the library 😭😭. And it’s curbside pick up only for another month. It will be a pain to get the last 8 😭😭.

Mon avis (sans spoilers) concernant les tomes 46 jusqu'au 55.
Je dois avouer que j'ai beaucoup aimé ce qu'il se passe dans ces tomes. Certains passages/moments m'ont surprises, et ça fait du bien !
On a une certaine maturité qui s'est installée, les personnages ont grandis, ça se ressent et ça fait du bien. Et tout ça, sans qu'ils perdent leur personnalité, c'est à noter.
Je suis sur la dernière ligne droite, il ne me reste plus beaucoup de tomes. Je suis excitée et stressée à la fois !

My opinion (without spoilers) concerning volumes 46 to 55.
I must admit that I really liked what happens in these volumes. Certain passages/moments surprised me, and it feels good !
We have a certain maturity that has set in, the characters have grown, it's felt and it feels good. And all this, without losing their personality, it should be noted.
I'm on the home stretch, I don't have many books left. I'm excited and stressed at the same time !

[Stephen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is hard to rate because it really relies on the culmination of the story which has brought you to this point. So, the rating does not simply get placed by what happens in this book but the journey in which has been undertaken to lead you to the revelations of this volume! While not all of them are brand new to you as a reader...seeing Natsu learn of his origins hits you directly in the feelings! In this volume we get Lucy and Brandish's mothers' back story...and as often is the case, the truth isn't what everyone thought! Even with the intense fighting, fan-service finds its way into this volume. The battle in the north is fierce and it is hard to say who will win this war, but the odds still heavily favor Zeref. Hiro Mashima (artist and writer) at his best!

[Jeni · Rating 4 out of 5]

I teared up twice, first when Happy carried Natsu away (how could you not, with him crying and not letting Natsu die?) and then when Aquarius came back. The whole backstory with Zeref and the dragon slayers and Lucy's ancestors is a bit out there, but whatever, I'll buy it, I guess. It also felt like a cheat that we didn't actually get to see the Wizard Saint battle just the aftermath and almost too quick resolution.

The book ended with fist pumping though, with Laxus showing his thinking skills (rather than just his fighting ones) and curing his damn self. Good for him.

[Meakuel · Rating 2 out of 5]

Oh, also mit dem Aspekt über die dragon slayer hätte ich nicht gerechnet. Was aber auch bedeutet, dass sich die Schrift in der Welt über 400 Jahre kaum verändert hat. Happys Reaktion ist so doof. Aber ich akzeptiere, dass er halt etwas doof ist und das eine emotionale Situation ist.
Marins Reaktion kam unerwartet.
Aquarius "Spiele" verstören mich. Aber schön sie wieder zu sehen.
Was ich mich bei der letzten Szene mit Brandish frage: woher wussten sie so genau, wo das Ding war?
Ansonsten viel Fanservice und noch mehr Power ups.

[Greg · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5/5 Ok firstly bonus points for Mermaid Lucy & Brandish ::drool::.

The first few chapters of volume 55 give us a history lesson on Lucy and Brandish’s mother with some flashback scenes. I really enjoyed how it ties Lucy’s family into the main story. Aquarius makes an appearance as well which is sweet.

We then have a brief battle with the 4 top wizard saints against the top wizard. Acnologia drops by for this one.

We end with a fun battle between Laxus and Wall which was pretty good as well.

Laxus, Wall, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Mermaid Brandish on the cover of volume 55.

Read 1/17/23

[Eyla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, a volume full twists and turns. I absolutely loved it. So much revealed about the history of our main characters and some questions that have been bothering me since about twenty to thirty volumes ago. And the battle scenes are just amazing. Each installment of the Alverez Empire Arc has me unable to put down the book.

And I don't normally bother with reviews, but this volume just deserved it. It deserved to be praised.

[Lauren Schnoebelen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zeref and Natsu come face to face and this might be the moment that Zeref finally gets his death wish. At the same time, our heroes are doing everything they can to protect their country and the battles are getting harder and harder. I really enjoyed the hell out of this volume and can’t wait to see what the next one has in store. There we so many revelations in people’s powers that you never saw coming. I need answers!

[Ciara · Rating 5 out of 5]

This fictional book was very action-filled as usual and left me wanting to read more. The relationship established between all the characters was something the author made very well. I absolutely loved the plot twist between two of the characters; it gave the chapter even more flare. I look forward to reading more books from this exciting series.

[Citybones · Rating 2 out of 5]

Este sin dudas es todo nuevo para mí. Aunque me gustó la pelea de Laxus, la trama de Lucy y todo el rollo de los criados de su madre es tan absurdamente malo que no puedo subirle de 2 estrellas.
Y por encima Aquario reaparece de la manga, no se por que esperaba algo distinto, a este paso ni a Zeref van a matar.

[Sanyukta Thakare · Rating 4 out of 5]

Battle Battle Battle.

I am not a big fan of the West and the 12 spriggan. They are powerful but it is hard to understand their motive. I guess they are just too loyal or just pure evil.

Really starting to hate Zeref.

[Whatever · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this was one of the most interesting volumes to date, although I didn't understand how Laxus defeated Wall Eehto. The part at the beginning where Zeref spilled all his secrets to Natsu was amazing! Yet again we are shocked with another plot twist.

[Doremili · Rating 5 out of 5]

Laxus!!!!

[Yerlin Elieth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just getting better and better. Plus Laxus!

[Amanda Setasha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Again with the up and down. Really good plot twists in this one... My favorite being Natsu is END.

I wish all the volumes were this detailed.
