Pues bueno termino un arco y empieza el nuevo. Primero Kana al fin se arma de valor y le confiesa a Gildartz que él es su padre (son tan malos los padres en este tipo de historias xd siempre vale mas las relaciones entre amigos que las familiares) así que tuvimos una pequeña escena emocionante.
Luego apareció aracnologia, un dragon chan chan aunque de los malos, atraído por todas las ambiciones negativas de grimoire heart, para destruirlo todo. El maestro quiso sacrificarse para que los demás escaparon sin embargo ninguno quizo hacerlo y entre todos se enfrentaron al dragon pero sobra decir, ni con el poder combinado eran capaces de hacerle frente. El dragon los iba a atacar y como defensa se unieron para transmitir sus poderes al único que podía hacer algo como defensa pero de repente solo se ve que la isla se esfumó.
7 años pasaron, el gremio fairy tail seguía en pie pero apenas. Macao ocupo el lugar del maestro. Biska y Alzack se casaron y tienen una hijita (al fin! Jajjaja) y Mateo ya tiene 13 (cof cof Wendy) pero esta triste, desde que desaparecieron todos no ha vuelto a reír. El gremio para sobrevivir pidió prestado y ahora está en situación crítica, y de repente chaan llegan los chicos de blue Pegasus diciéndoles que hay evidencia de que la isla no fue destruida, se embarcan en la búsqueda y ta dah la isla aparece junto frente a sus ojos junto a Mavis la primera maestra de fairy tail quien canalizando el poder de los chicos Unidos logró salvarlos y aquí están todos solo que de la mima edad xd
Me gustó, reitero me encantan los lazos de los personajes, sus historias y que hacen que me emocionen. Que no me gustó, lo que hicieron con el padre de Lucy, todo desde que lo conocí por último lo hubieses dejado así Malvado, pero hicieron que se "reconciliaran" o lo más parecido a eso después de un altercado y ahor lo matan un mes antes de que todos vuelvan, y para qué si al final ni siquiera es un personaje recurrente. Me sentí triste porque igual me dio pena la carta y la reacción de Lucy pero meh. Y lo otro que no me gustó es el salto, siempre tengo problemas con estos "vacíos" en la historia, al menos los principales siguen igual pero bueno me quede un par de capitulo y empiezo a leer contenido nuevo así que a ver ps jajaja

Ahhhhhh!😩😩 I was crying sooooooo much!! Makarov is a very great person. When Makarov say “This is a final order!!!” to gild members, a lot of tears were overflowed from my eyes😢😢 Also, I was crying when Kana told the truth to Gildarts. I want to read this volume one more time.
EN RESUMEN Natsu y compañía pudieron derrocar a Hades, pero un nuevo enemigo aparece para destruirlos.
ACLARACIÓN Todos estos puntos están de alguna forma influenciados por conocimientos y opiniones que ya tenía sobre la historia gracias a la adaptación del anime y al ser esta una relectura.
ASPECTOS POSITIVOS - Todos sabemos que Mashima abusa del poder de los sentimientos y de la amistad, pero si hay algo que le doy a su favor es que realmente creó una base bastante fuerte para que el uso de esos elementos sea al menos creíble. Y con base me refiero a los lazos entre los miembros del gremio. Ellos son familia. Una familia muy disfuncional, pero familia al fin. Cada momento de reencuentro es entrañable porque no podes evitar hasta sentirte parte de ellos. - - Zeref. Uno de mis tropes preferidos es la inmortalidad y el peso de la inmortalidad. Mashima eligió una perspectiva super interesante para darle a Zeref en lo que a inmortalidad respecta. Su maldición es la que le da esa profundidad necesaria y la que lo hace mucho más atractivo como villano. - Otro de los momentos emotivos del tomo se lo llevó Ultear y Meredy. Me gustó mucho su desarrollo. Siempre fue de las villanas más intrigantes, por lo que me gusta que su participación en la trama no se termine con este arco. Mashima ve el potencial en la villana sexy y se lo agradezco enormemente. - - -
ASPECTOS NEGATIVOS -
CONCLUSIÓN El tomo 30 de Fairy Tail cambia absolutamente todo. Mashima se arriesga por una vez en la vida y te mueve las fichas para darle un comienzo más fresco a su siguiente arco.
4/5 So we have the end of the Tenrou Island arc and our first introduction to an actual dragon. Then we have a weird 7 year time leap. While I’m not super keen on this aspect I respect that it gives the series a fresh starting point and opens the plot up to new possibilities.
Not a ton of action here after the initial confrontation with Acnologia. However there are some nice and comedic moments. These chapters are nice as they give the cast a small break from the constant near death battling.
Le début était très cool mais je pense que l'auteur aurait pu développer plus la période de 7ans où les persos principaux ont disparus, avec par exemple un tome dédié à cette période. Mais il n'aurait pas fallu plus car j'ai envie de continuer à suivre Natsu et les autres !

Welp that arc is done, but there were so many beautiful and emotional moments in this volume that gets me every time. Again on of my favorite single volume entries in the series :)
Holy cow. I knew the events of this issue were coming, but I didn't expect them to hit me like they did. I've been through time skips in other series and they're always fun, but this one was heartbreaking as well. And then everything got put to rights, and oh man, was it fantastic to see.
This volume is stellar. I loved it, even as I hated trying to read through tears. One of my favorite volumes in this series, bar none.
The beat Hades well, and as their exceed friends run from the GH goonies, and the team mentioned the MP is drained. The other FT members have been rejuvenated! The step in! Thunder Legion is excited to Laxus! Hades tells Makarov to finish him, but he chooses to spare him. Telling him that if he see’s him again. It’s won’t be good. Everyone makes it back to camp together As GH ship leaves. Zeref is on board and gives them a piece of his mind. Their dark thoughts summons Acnologia, and has caused the ‘end of the world’ The keys Hades tries to use to ‘awaken Zeref’ were lies. And Zeref reveals he’s been around for 400 years Zeref is punishing them 1. For summoning Acnologia and 2. Making Zeref forget the weight of life. Ultear and Merudy are rowing out at sea, Ultear tells Merudy the truth, that it was her who destroyed her town. Then as Merudy shows hurt and anger, Ultear shows she will just go away. By stabbing her self and falling into the sea. “I love you, Merudy” Merudy saves her, forgiving her and begging her to live. Zeref kills Hades, Acnologia has come The S-class wizard test was cancelled Cana decides that even though she isn’t an S-class wizard, she’ll tell Guildarts anyway. When she reveals it to him, he cycles through many woman’s names asking who her mother is, as she walks away claiming that’s all she has to say. He hugs her, pin pointing who her mother is. He claims Cornelia (Cana’s mother) was the only woman he truely loved, and he’d never remarried after her. Guildarts took the news so well, and promised to be more involved her life, if she allowed him to love her. Doom has arrived - Acnologia has arrived Fairytail need to retreat, but Acnologias attacks are destructive. Master Makarov stands to fight- his children try to join but he begs them to listen to his final command. They reluctantly turn to run. Only to turn, and fight as the master goes down. Mavis appears, Acnologia flies to the sky to use his power to decimate the island. Fairytail joins hands to channel their magic into their guild mates with defensive magic HE DESTROYED THE ISLAND COMPLETELY! people searched, and never found any survivors. Sirius island was destroyed, and seven years passed… Seven years :( Macao has a son, Romeo Bisca and Alsace look different Macao became fourth master, everyone has aged so much. Wakaba is an advisor to Macao Fairytail is considered a weak guild now.. and get no jobs.. Droy and Jet are still together, Droy has put on a lot of weight and Reedus slimmed right down. Someone mentioned Levy, and in sadness and anger “Levy isn’t coming home!” Twilight Ogre busts into their guilds doors, and says they’re the best guild in Magnolia now TO claims Macao owes them, and so they beat up the guild members. Reedus’s sketch book shows his sketches of the all lost loved ones, (my heart :( ) Blue Pegasus has one to visit Fairytail, THEY REVEAL CHRISTINA FOUND TRACES OF SIRIUS ISLAND STILL EXISTING They get out to sea as fast as possible, and see someone (Mavis) standing on top of the sea. Where Sirius island erupts out of the sea! THEY FIND NATSU BURIED UNDER RUBBLE TO comes back, Romeo tries to stand against them. But he’s just a bit stronger. TO guys club gets knocked from his hand, everyone’s shocked THEYRE FUCKING BACK WITH A FIREY VENGENCE! THEY BEAT UP TWILIGHT OGERS GOONIES! Mavis was able to convey the bonds of trust and friendship into pure magic, and one of FT great magics: Fairy Sphere, a protection sphere Everyone’s laughing, dancing, catching up! BISCA ANS ALZAC HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 6 YEARS, AND HAVE A CHILD Lamia scale has risen to be the 2nd best guild in Fiore Leone claims love at first sight with Juvia (*cackles*) Lucy tries to visit her father, but when she goes to the place her was supposed to be working. The lady revealed her passed away a month ago Makarov, Erza and Mira visit Twilight Ogre, and Makarov is NOT a happy man. He will get ‘payback’ for the seven years of pain Lucy’s landlord drags her to her room, where there is seven years worth of B-day gifts from her father. In a final letter, her father tells her he loves her. I don’t believe that the standing Fairytail members are weak, but more so struck by grief. They lost a lot of loved family and friends. So emotional, so much character growth. The start of new adventures.

This will be my full review for this entire series. I already read this comic from volume 1-30. Suppose there 50 volume more of this series but I prefer not to finish it as I don't really like the time-skip idea in this series.
To clarify, I love the idea of time-skip. But, in this series, I really hate it. It make Natsu and other main member weaker. Why make them weaker? I want to see MC progress throughout the series. Then, suddenly become weaker. Not to mention when MC want to win each battle, power of friendship keep coming back each battle.
Furthermore, there are a lot of un-explained things happened in this series. The dots are not connected rather than scattered throughout the series. It just there to fill the plot-hole. Rather than explaining, Mr Hiro keep continuing the series and keep adding new characters each volume.
So, after the time-skip, I determine to stop reading this series. I don't want to ruin my memories of this awesome series. For most part, this series actually had huge potential because of interesting and lovable character, but the plot is keep on damaging this series slowly.
3.5 and the last I’ll rate (I’ve read the rest of the series in the past and it takes some perverse turns I really disagree with so I won’t be going through them again; I simply thought this was a good place to stop). The bonds of all the guild mates are strong in this one, but it had more impact in the anime portrayal. Still, Gildarts and Cana finally have their moment which was amazing (mostly, his list of names was a bit much), and Makarov being best pops of them all. Asuka’s bond with Lily was something I had forgotten so seeing that in the end in the background was cute. They return to a defamed guild with the promise/hope of renewing it’s position. Ultear and Meredy have moved on, and Mest has lived with guilt.

While watching these episodes of the anime a few years ago, I wondered why the girls living in the dorm still had to pay 7 years worth of rent, and I still wonder after reading that chapter in this volume. Isn’t it part of Fairy Tail? Why would they do that to their guild mates? They should be the most understanding in this case. At least with Lucy’s living situation, being charged 7 years of rent makes sense since her land lady is just her land lady, they have no other relationship. It’s just a business transaction, no feelings included.
Now onto the Grand Magic Games arc! This one’s lots of fun too!
What happens in this issue is nothing short of series altering!!! What happens here happens in all of the big anime series....Dragon Ball Z, Naruto and One Piece to name a few. Time skip! 7 years will transpire within this one volume and will have you gasping for air with just how this changes...well everything! Hiro Mashima should be given great honor for the risk as well as the execution of this. I hate to simply leave you without giving details but let's just say Fairy Tail is in desperate need to revitalization as the 7 years have not been kind to the guild. Art is always on point and this volume really reaches out and makes you take stock of the journey you have taken with the gang so far...and where they are headed.
Ultear tried to killed herself? omgg I didn’t see that coming, clearly neither did Merudy but it was a sweet moment between the two when she saved her!
Cana and Gildarts reunited as father and daughter and omg I was sobbing! Will definitely need more content of them.
A REAL DRAGON FINALLY MAKES AN APPEARANCE!!! — ACNOLOGIA
AND THEN THERE WAS A SEVEN YEAR JUMPPP AHHH?!!!!!
Omg poor Lucy. Her father passed away while she was gone and she didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye 3
They’re all in a new world now and they have to come to terms with how everything has changed, it’ll be interesting to see what other changes have happened!
Wow. Reading the "Dec 16th" fiasco on Dec 16th.... How serendipitous. 🤭 Still annoyed with how easily Hiro makes me cry tho, you bully, you should be ashamed of yourself, lol. Love your work, ya dick. Stop making me emotional tho, it's just not fair making a girl cry like that! Lol 😋
And R.i.p Doug.... Fairy island won't be the only one that's sadly missed today. Happy b-day man, sorry you missed it. I'll be drinking alone w.o you on this one. Cheers. 🍻 Tell Tammy I really miss her and I'll be saving a seat on the glider for boat'chinz later. I wanna hear more about this ferret bowling you speak so highly of. I just love a good weasel story, lol. 🧏🏻♀️ BNE!
Dałabym 5 gwiazdek bo lubię arc z egzaminem na maga klasy S i generalnie super volume. Ale poziom absurdu mocy przyjaźni w tej mandze mnie przerasta. To takie bez sensu. Jest wielki antyczny smok który jest największym tworem zła zaraz po Zerefie, jednym dmuchnięciem może całą wyspę rozwalić. Ale nasi bohaterowie łapią się za ręce i ich miłość do siebie ich magicznie ratuje 🥺🫶 I tak za każdym razem. Ktoś powinien w końcu umrzeć pls
This is a hard one. I like that we learn more about Zeref’s magic and also the history/magic of Fairy Tail but the big change they make midway through the volume really threw me. I’m not too sure how much I’ll like it. I hope I don’t have similar views to it as I had for the alternate dimension arc. The Lucy moments did really touch my heart at times and had me tearing up quite a bit.
I've read up to volume; #33: ★★★☆☆ but I JUST HAD TO PICK the black dragon cover
The way the story played out was unique to this kind of trope. Plus the new characters all seem awesome. Sting's design? S tier! I really dig this new arc and I cannot get enough of it.
The emotional conclusion of the Tenrou Island arc and a little mini-arc to calm things down before one of the longest arcs of the series begins. Loved the character development you could just feel the emotion.
Très belle fin de l'arc de l'île. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce qui suit... C'est devenu très fréquent dans les mangas, mais j'ai trouvé ça très audacieux ici. J'ai hâte de voir ce que cela annoncera pour la suite du manga !
This was an interesting and great conclusion to what has been happening the last couple of issues. At the end 7 years has passed and now it is on to new things. What is next?
