Can't someone have a normal parentage? This only keeps getting worse, even though some things from the past are explained, I still couldn't give a shit.

Things are definitely moving along now, but I'm not sure how I feel about antagonists just quitting in the middle of a battle because of some existential crisis.

It was such a plot twist when we found out that August was Mavis and Zeref’s son all along and Larcade was a demon from the books of Zeref. I loved Larcade as a character regardless and it was so heartbreaking to see Zeref kill him. I don’t think I will ever get over the fact that neither Zeref or Mavis know they have a son! And don’t ever find out. It’s so heart wrenching and I really feel for August by then end of it. I hope the anime changes it slightly so they end up finding out before they die or even in death, but I love Hiro Mashima’s story and artwork regardless if it doesn’t fulfill all of my wishes.
And I live for Zeref and Natsu’s “sibling” relationship. It is hilarious and touching in all the good ways. You can really tell that Natsu was generally hurt and confused when Zeref said he didn’t have any family. Why Zeref do you always have to wreck everything for yourself?

Strange enough with only 2 volumes left of the series I find myself worrying because there are some pretty dark themes including death for a Teen rated book and the final showdown is about to begin with all the major players convening in one place. The problem is of these major players two of them are thought to be nigh unstoppable so two volumes seems like a tall order for such a fight. Having seen my fair share of rushed series throwing Hail Marys to try to appease fans while dealing with tying up loose ends I hope Hiro Mashima is as amazing a story ender as he is a spinner of tales of friendship and magic(not a MLP reference seriously.) :)

With that out of the way how many people read the last volume and had to wait to see what happened after launching her already broken and exhausted body to the sky to intercept a freaking meteor?
*Cue one winged angel music*
If you didn't believe you will believe now that Erza can fly as she Saitama's the now dragon enhanced weapon of mass destruction plummeting toward Earth Land. New light is shown on Erza's childhood as well as one of the 12 that work for Zeref. In the end love seems to be conquering all...Let's see how well that turns out in the end but for know I am still super excited to read the story until the very end. It has to be better than Shaman King's end. :)

Favorite part was as described above Erza seemingly defeated by Irene but she still manages to destroy a meteor that would have wiped out a lot of people and with a little help brought down Irene from her dragon form. Be sure to read this book. :)

Je vais parler du tome 56 à 63; sans spoilers pas d'inquiétude !
Certaines scènes (notamment dans le 56) m'ont juste ENERVEES, et je n'ai vraiment pas supporté, j'ai dû faire une mini-pause !
Je dois avouer que les deux derniers tomes étaient très bons; on a vu/revu certains personnages. Pas mal de choses assez prévisibles, mais ce n'est pas grave !
Je suis assez "frustrée" parce que je n'ai pas eu tout ce que je voulais, mais à part ça, je suis assez satisfaite de la fin. Je ne parlerai pas de l'éternel "fan-service", ça, je n'en peux juste plus !!!!
Je sais qu'il existe techniquement une suite, j'hésite quand même à me plonger dedans, en tout cas pour le moment ! On verra !
Une page se tourne, un livre se ferme; c'était une lecture sympathique.

I'm going to talk about volume 56 to 63; no spoilers don't worry !
Some scenes (especially in the 56) just ENERVOUS me, and I really couldn't stand it, I had to take a mini-break !
I must admit that the last two volumes were very good; we saw/re-saw certain characters. Quite a few fairly predictable things, but that's okay !
I'm pretty "frustrated" because I didn't get everything I wanted, but other than that I'm pretty happy with the end. I will not speak of the eternal "fan-service", that, I just can't take it anymore !!!!
I know there is technically a sequel, I still hesitate to dive into it, at least for the moment ! We'll see !
A page turns, a book closes; it was a nice read.

Die Liebe zu ihrer Tochter hat sie aber schnell vergessen. Wendy war nicht fähig einen Drachen niederzustrecken, aber Wendys Verzauberung von Erzas Schwert hat dazu geführt, einen Drachen ernsthaft zu verletzen. Das ist kurios.
Als Natsu durchdrehte, dachte ich ja schon sein Drache wäre mit ihm durchgegangen. Das er jetzt einen Weg wählen muss ist eine clevere Aufschlüsselung der vorigen Anspielungen. Aber diese Zweifel-Geschichte halte ich für absurd. Ja, er entkommt damit auf einer Art Zeref und der Bestimmung, aber das ist so bescheuert.
Acnologia, ich habe ganz vergessen, dass der auch vom Ortwechsel betroffen war. Aber woher weiß er denn plötzlich darüber Bescheid? Also über Irene.
Gildart denkt schneller als ich. Himmel, das hab ich nicht bemerkt, wie Augusts Magie funktioniert. Ich frag mich ja, wie Precht das mit der Geburt bewerkstelligt hat. Hat er Mavis aus der Lacrima geholt und dann nen Kaiserschnitt gemacht?
Am Ende tut mir Larcade Leid. Und August, auch wenn letztere seinen Liebesentzug ja mitverantwortet hat. Er hätte sich offenbaren müssen, zumindest gegenüber Mavis. Wusste sie eigentlich, dass sie schwanger war?
Oh doch Natsu, es gibt Väter, die ihre Kinder nicht lieben.

Auch wenn es wieder ein paar Fragen und Ungereimtheiten gab, ein guter Band!

3,5 in realtà. Finisce lo scontro tra Elsa e Irene che insomma, a mio parere è molto (troppo) breve e trovo che il loro legame poteva essere maggiormente approfondito. In ogni caso, in seguito alla sua sconfitta, la distorsione spaziale creata da Irene scompare e i nostri protagonisti sono tornati a Magnolia. È tempo di recarsi alla Gilda dove li attende Zeref. Gray, Natsu e Lucy corrono da lui e si preparano a combattere il nemico, sapendo però che uccidendolo anche Natsu morirà. Nel mentre Gildarts e Kana se la vedono con l’ultimo degli Springann rimasto in piedi, ossia August. Anche in questa occasione ci sono poche spiegazioni riguardo a legame tra August, Zeref e Mavis; nuovamente a mio modesto parere la cosa poteva essere raccontata meglio, perché si intuisce ma neanche troppo... Però questo rimane comunque un bel volume, si avverte che siamo ormai giunti alla battaglia finale. La conclusione della serie è sempre più vicina e voglio scoprila, sono davvero curiosa di vedere come tutto si risolverà.

The 12 are almost defeated and Erza is close to defeating her mother but there’s only so much one person can do. At the same time though, Magnolia is returned to its original form. This allows for the final battle with Zeref to commence and it’s still unsure who will survive this outcome.

The beginning of this volume was extremely weak with Erza’s story which hurt a lot but it built up after that battle ended. I loved the moments with Gray and how he reflects on his friendship with Natsu. The roles of parentage in this volumes were extremely weird and uncomfortable at times but then at others it almost broke my heart. Very mixed views on this volumes but there were some clear shining moments in it.

This volume of Fairy Tail really reminds us of the power of family! Irene and Erza's battle comes to a climactic conclusion. But there is no time to simply bask in the aftermath for there are far more sinister things still afoot. What seemed like impossible odds now leaves only a few remain of the Twelve...and Fairy Tail is bruised and battered...but not beaten! Some of the battles in this book are beyond EPIC! The cover really captures the feelings of the book and some (but not all) the main characters of this volume. The punches, kicks and spells feel especially heavy in this volume. In maybe one of the coolest ways possible, this volume teaches lessons about selfishness, living for self and being a parent!

Untuk penggemar manga One Piece, menikmati karya yang berkisar sekitar hal setiakawan, advencer, watak-watak sampingan yang aneh-aneh ditambah unsur magika (dan naga) adalah satu bonus. Gaya penceritaannya menjadi menarik sekiranya pembaca meminati stroke gaya Eichiro Oda. Ada running gag berkenaan fesyen seperti juga One Piece (Doskoi Panda) tapi kali ini dengan jenama Heart Kreuz (hal jenama tiruan lebih berleluasa di dalam One Piece). Perlu diingatkan mangaka lebih fokus untuk pembaca manga jenis Shonen.

5/5 This volume is all about fathers so as a father I have to give it a higher score. Some very emotional scenes in this one. Gildarts and his daughter Cana take on August who we discover is the son of Mavis and Zereff only they don’t know about it. I thought there was very touching moments as well as some absolutely cruel ones.

We’re down to the final battles now but it’s a great arc.

Natsu, Gildarts, Mavis, Zereff, & Lucy on the cover of volume 61.

Tenía quejas al principio pero el reveal de August siendo el verdadero hijo de Zeref y Mavis fue muy bien incorporado. Y una pena que nadie lo supiera. Y otro de los poderosos que se mata por familia que decía no importarle.

Хем ми е мъчно за Зереф, хем много ми се иска Нацу да му срита задника качествено. Голяма дилема. Зереф е от тия лоши, дето не можеш да ги мразиш.

There was so much information and emotion packed in this volume.

And the drawing got more intense which just made the volume even better.
