Fairy Tail Vol 4

[meganbmoore]

(Why yes, I am trying to clear out as much of the manga backlog as possible before the last books from rightstuf’s Viz and Tokyopop sales trickle in. Why do you ask?)

Did I read that right that Gray’s badass master who he wants to live up to is a female? Things like that are allowed to happen in shounen outside of Fullmetal Alchemist?

And Deilora’s whole issue is that he never got to prove himself as strong as her? Excellent. Though I don’t think waking up the demon is the way to go about dealing with that. Though I do like that Gray sent Lucy to protect the city, but just wanted Natsu out of the way while he fought.

Natsu seems to be making a habit of making himself comfortable in Lucy’s apartment without checking with her first. That’s the sort of thing that can get him killed. So Erza knows the council guy who’s interested in Fairy Tail? Interesting. (And…err…is it just me, or does he look like a male Erza?)

Not sure what I think, though, of Natsu and Happy stealing an S Class mission. I kind of hope they just get in trouble for it, as opposed to the promotion they want. Though it probably also means Lucy won’t get her golden key. (And Loki’s fear of Lucy makes me wonder if he’s a celestial spirit, or has some connection to them.) Of course, their greatest fear should be what Erza will do when she catches up with them.
