FAIRY TOTS
Fairy Tail visits a town of giants frozen in magical ice that Gray can't dispel and Natsu can't melt! At its heart is supposedly an Eternal Flame… but how can a flame be frozen? And they're not the only ones after the town's secrets. Three treasure hunters block their path, while an old nemesis lurks in the shadows. To top it off, a magical trap makes all the Fairy Tail wizards' problems seem much bigger!

A menos que pase algo más en el siguiente volumen este fue un arco corto, algo así como una transición para lo que vendrá.
La llama eterna resultó ser el "tío" de Natsu, un dragon de fuego que conoció en el arco pasado sólo que sólo quedaba un residuo de su espíritu, que por medio de Wendy, pudo tener su forma otra vez y restaurar el pueblo congelado de los gigantes.
Y de aquí, aparece un nuevo tipo de magos, los demonslayers. Pronto se tendrán más noticias de ellos. Por otra parte el gremio oscuro también escapó y con ellos Minerva.

3.5/5 A fun volume. Our gang heads to a village of giants frozen in ice. Their mission is to free it. Upon arrival they come across a gang of treasure hunters that are after a magical item believed to protect the village.

They also encounter Minerva and a strange man named Doriate whose magic turns people into children.

The volume goes pretty quick and is kind of it’s own mini arc at Sun Village. Fun but just a build up to the larger upcoming Tartaros Arc.

Young Natsu and Erza on the cover with Gray, Minerva, and Dariate.

I feel an atmosphere of an underdog from Treasure hunters... They have no big impact and important roles. Why did the author add some unnecessary characters like them in this chapter? However, small Happy was very cute so I forgive strange new characters.

Fairy Tail continues the fight to save a village of giants frozen in magical ice while working around some treasure hunters who are after their own targets there. Oh, and there's also the little problem of them continually being reverted to their child forms complete with the smaller magical energy and strength. A few faces from the magic games are back - some in their same old position of enemy, others as newfound allies.

This arc promises to be an interesting one for Gray, first because of the ice magic and also because his own history is coming back to haunt him. And then there's that final shot...

EN RESUMEN
El equipo FT continúa en su búsqueda de una forma de descongelar a los gigantes del Pueblo del Sol. Nuevos y viejos conocidos personajes hacen su aparición.

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
- La comedia. Me encanta la dinámica del grupo protagonista, sus diferentes personalidades y magias chocándose siempre dan a luz escenas muy entretenidas.
- El ritmo. Este arco sirve como preludio al arco de Tártaro y es absolutamente perfecto. Se concentra en los personajes, es liviano en trama y aún así logra deslizar un montón de cosas importantes. Los personajes logran brillar un montón, desde un crecimiento interior hasta en las batallas.
- El dibujo. Tenemos de todo, desde cute little Natsu, Grey and Erza hasta buenas peleas, con movimiento y grandes paneles. Las batallas no terminan después de un golpe, no son aburridas.

ASPECTOS NEGATIVOS
- Que es un shonen sin un chiste de pedofilia.

CONCLUSIÓN
El tomo 41 de Fairy Tail marca el final de un arco increíblemente sólido. La comedia está en su mejor momento, todos los personajes tienen momentos claves, las peleas son inteligentes, hay desarrollo y un gran trasfondo que deja pistas sobre lo que está por venir. Si bien es un arco intermedio entre dos grandes, Mashima logra sacarle todo el jugo.

Je vais parler du tome 41 au 45 dans mon avis (sans spoilers).
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce que j'ai lu dans ces volumes; on voit clairement l'évolution pour certains personnages et ça fait beaucoup de bien.
J'ai été très émue pendant plusieurs scènes.
Et malgré le "fan-service" beaucoup trop présent (comme d'habitude); j'ai beaucoup plus apprécié ma lecture.
On sent que tout bouge, comme si ça allait déjà vers la fin, alors que pas encore. J'ai hâte de lire la suite !

ENG
I will talk about volume 41 to 45 in my review (without spoilers).
I really liked what I read in these volumes; we can clearly see the evolution for certain characters and that does a lot of good.
I was very moved during several scenes.
And despite the too much "fan-service" (as usual); I enjoyed my reading much more.
We feel that everything is moving, as if things were already going towards the end, when not yet. I can't wait to read more !

This volume has a little feeling as if Hiro Mashima was a Muppet Babies fan! Some Fairy Tail guild members are transformed into kid versions of themselves and are forced to battle it out! On top of that, they have reached the town of frozen Giants (which immediately made me also think about One Pieces giant island). Again, I am not saying Mashima took these ideas, but they felt very familiar for me as a reader. Regardless, this is a fun volume, and the art is forever crisp and beautiful. The search for a way to thaw the Giants continues along with some mysteries which feel much grander than the current situation. Another solid entry in this long-running series which I believe is under appreciated by way too many manga fans.

Thoughts on this volume:
- Gray and Silver.... Mashima is so real for that, he said, "You're gonna know."
- Seeing the little baby faries again was so cute. Little Natsu is such a little shit.
- Baby Gray.... he may have been small, but his brain cells were working double time. How is he smarter now than he was in the first 35 volumes? Something flipped a switch in him when he fought Rufus because now he's constantly on the ball.
- Nice little Flare revival.
- Not nice at all Minerva revival.
- I'm very excited for the Tartaros arc because this is the point where I was reading weekly, so I really didn't know what was going on very much. I'm excited to read it in full!
- I need the rest of Fairy Tail to pull up, though. I love Team Natsu, but I need Juvia and Gajeel back in action.

they’re adorable when they’re small!

Ezra, Natsu and Gray all turn into a child again. Ahh omg they’re just so adorable being small, but don’t for a second think that their wits and ability disappear!

Another demon from the book of zeref finally showing up?

Awwee then everyone else shrank too, I can’t get enough of my small babies.

The fire dragon—Atlas flame—is the eternal flame of the giant village? The guardian of the village.

Who is this devil slayer? who also uses ice maker magic?

Getting a really short arc in this series is so refreshing! But it also provided us with so much detail and anticipation for this next one. Our team is sent on a quest to help this village that was completely frozen. The interesting bit that was left out on their way there was that it’s a village of giants. Covered in ice, our team encounters a variety of people from the past but also a few new faces. Excited to see what role Grey’s magic is going to play over the next coming volumes!

Some of the new character designs are completely ridiculous. Like what the heck?
The whole arc seems to focus on the characters suddenly getting turned into children, adults, children... It's weird. Even for this series.

Kein Menschen, haben sie gesagt, aber mit einem Baum hätte ich nicht gerechnet. Oh, er war auch bei Fairy Tail. Aber da er ja zurückgetreten ist, hätte da nicht das Zeichen verschwinden müssen?
Der Fall mit den Schatzjägern fand ich lahm. Das einzige, was ich mochte war, als was sich die Flamme entpuppt hat. Ich frag mich nur, was Succubus Eye dort zu suchen hatte. Und warum Tataros etwas Böses versiegeln soll, wo sie eine dunkle Gilde sind.

This almost got three stars because the kid thing was a little cutesy for my tastes, but then we got Flare's backstory and action..and it's another four star effort.

Questa volta inizio davvero a temere per i membri di Fairy Tail, i tizi di Tartaros sembrano davvero forti ... forse troppo.
