This volume ends the Mildian Arc and begins the really long Blue Guardians Arc. As much as I enjoy the sgort Mildian arc because, hello Sieg Hart. The Blue Guardian Arc starts with a ridiculous dance contest, like what???

Las expectativas antes de ponerme con éste tomo estaban por todo lo alto, con un tomo 21 tan sumamente entretenido, esperaba que el siguiente, en caso de bajar, no lo hiciera demasiado, pues bien, eso es lo que tenemos aquí: un tomo más flojito pero que sigue siendo interesante.

Era evidente que no se podían hacer dos tomos tan buenos seguidos, o con tanto contenido interesante.

Éste tomo veintidós empieza con la trama de Sieg Heart, es una trama que estaba muy chula en el tomo anterior, pero que termina de una forma demasiado típica como para mantener el nivel. Una lástima, porque tanto el personaje como lo planteado pintaban estupendamente. Pero bueno, es un trozo bastante bueno del tomo.

Porque después volvemos a los viajes con tramas chorras, en ésta ocasión acompañados por Shuda (un personaje que se permite hasta el humor). Es un trozo muy típico del autor, que cualquier otro se tomaría como desengrasante, pero que aquí se alargará hasta lo indecible.

Y es que, qué mejor manera de ganar dinero para el grupo de héroes que quiere salvar al mundo que apuntarse a un concurso de baile?

En fin, que pasamos de épica a humor sin solución de continuidad. Lo mejor? El inicio y el que Shuda se haya acostado con la hermana del protagonista. Lo peor? Los bandazos que da la serie, y no porque lo del baile sea malo, sino porque cambia demasiado de registro de una parte del tomo a la otra.

One can argue that this volume’s main focus is Sieg Hart. I actually like the way the volume flows and it was almost enough to push it to a 4-star read! 3.5 for those who do the half star system. Sieg remembers his hometown differently than what is before him in this volume. The reason for that becomes apparent in this very volume which to me is a cool reveal. Hiro Mashima continues to do great things and at this point (probably earlier but it is hard for me to distinguish) I feel that Hiro’s art is full level of how Fairy Tail begins. Please stop and give praise to this creator…who has done so many series but look at this resume! Rave Monster! Fairy Tail!! Eden’s Zero!!! The formula of fun and adventure is hard to outdo.

By far the funniest volume. Love these characters.

Meski Arc ini terkesan lebih ringan (banyak lelucon, fanservices dan sederhana) namun punya makna sendiri dalam perjalanan Haru dkk.
Menarik disusun alurnya oleh Hiro sensei.

Seig vs his entire village and the conclusion to Lucia vs haru

haven't read these in years- I recommend this series to a friend and thought I'd look back it. the writings a bit rougher than I remember but it still has heart.

Sieg Hart gets his own half-volume as he tries to track down the final Sinclaire in his hometown, but finds things are not at all as he remembers them. It gets worse when he realizes why. Meanwhile, there's a big dance competition going on, and the crew, low on both cash and supplies, have to decide who's going to enter, but it looks like the competition will be fierce in more ways than one. Back to the series being fun! *** ½

[Mana · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW. Sieg is the GOAT. A whole city and a seven day fight! Can’t touch him. Not to mention he was able to make them have a change of heart. This was his time to shine and he was glorious.
