Segundo tomo seguido que os comento hoy de Rave, y es que me voy dando cuenta que estoy
tardando demasiado (a uno cada quince días) en ponerme al día e ir liquidando ésta segunda lectura del manga de Hiro Mashima.
Éste tomo nos lleva ya prácticamente al ecuador de la serie, y lo hace contando con el mejor tomo de los últimos, sin lugar a dudas. Y eso que se trata de un tomo de combate contra un enemigo que ni me va ni me viene, pero el autor se las arregla para darle epicidad al mismo incluso contando con recursos manidos hasta la saciedad (como los héroes levantándose prácticamente de entre los muertos).
Es un tomo que ejemplifica lo que acaba siendo cualquier shonen: combates contra personajes más o menos molones y exaltación de la amistad entre el grupo protagonista. Por suerte en ésta ocasión el autor lo hace con cierta gracia, lo que unido a que ya se les ha cogido cariño a los personajes desemboca en un tomo entretenido y que se lee en un suspiro.
Incluso el flashback para contarnos la historia del villano que se inserta en medio del combate cumple su función de hacernos empatizar aunque sea ligeramente con ésta piedra en el camino hacia el enfrentamiento con el enemigo actual del grupo.
Me molesta lo que se ha tardado en llegar hasta aquí, y pese a que el tomo me guste sigo sintiendo la saga de las sirenas (seguimos en ella) como puro relleno.

Turns out training with Dalmatian happened off-screen ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Sudden minor lore-dump with the way magical Affinity works, courtesy of Ruby. Eight elements, in which Water and Sea are counted as separate things. You also have Earth, Wind, Fire ("Let's groove tonight!~"), Thunder, Light, and Dark.
Haru unlocks the eighth form of Ten Commandments: Million Suns. Then kind of jobs. Then doesn't job, but kind of... starts... evaporating?!
This entire volume is the rematch against Doryu, making this the longest fight in the manga so far. Accordingly, it's the best fight so far.
****
"You think you can extinguish our lights? Don't make me laugh." Smells like Nakama-Power in here!
"My friends are here... so I'll fight." Oh fuck, it is Nakama-Power!!
"Be careful!! His DB gives him the powers of gravity and repulsion!!" Eh, not nearly as powerful as having the properties of both rubber and gum. Wait...?
"Yes indeedy, poyo."
Elie cleavage looking soft yet also firm when Haru is thanking everyone for their combo attacks...!
****
Levin's parents are confirmed to be Haru and Elie. Unless we already knew that? I forget, because I knew regardless. Kind of weird, because it confirms the romance way ahead of us seeing it happen. But whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We are still recoiling from the shocking moments from the previous volume. Hiro Mashima is spitting fire with his art and story as the adventures continue upward and onward. The art and story continue to mesmerize. Doryu’s strength is beyond any of my expectations!!! There continues to be amazing revelations in this series and each volume seems to present us with a new one. That is quite an accomplishment, and why the series keeps the interest level up. Kudos to Mashima for weaving an engaging tale.

Pretty great manga:) Pretty similar to fairy tail, It’s by the same author, If you love fairy tail you’ll most likely love this^.^🤔👌❤️

One intense volume after another. Such a great continuation of this story arc. Such an emotional toll it takes on all the characters. The arc still continues in the next volume.

Sure it was intense but pretty boring.

Alurnya terasa intens dan cepat, namun entah kenapa terasa menjenuhkan :-/
Sebuah karya lawas khas dr Hiro Mashima sensei sebelum Fairy Tail

Hiro Mashima, Rave Master, vol. 17 (Tokyopop, 2002)
The second half of the big battle, as the whole reunited crew go up against Doryu, who is far more than he seems. Nonstop action and some interesting revelations about some of our characters make this yet another Rave Master volume not to be missed. Good stuff. *** ½

Excellent
Wow! I knew Doryu was strong but to to have all the Rave Warriors take him in and barely defeat him is wild. P.s. Didn't know Celia is the basis for Fairy Fall's Aquarius.

Тая нова работа ми пречи на четенето! Цяла седмица да чета 1 том на една толкова добра манга... Нечувано! А с този край сега просто трябва да започна следващия том.
