This week's Chapter Cover featured Cana Alberona. It looks like she has been come out of the bath, wearing towel and started drinking alcohol in the sofa. We can see a total of 4-5 bottle on the sofa which implies she might have taken all of it. And we can spot the portrait of Happy attached on the wall behind the Sofa along with several other portraits. Overall a nice chapter cover page this week. I think next chapter cover might include Zeref/Mavis or both of them together. We will see!.

This chapter started with all of the FT members busy with having themselves enjoy with each other after a long awaited reformation of the Guild after one year. The details of how and when FT members got back to their Guild didn't shown but it is safe to assume they got back home safe and sound since their departure from Albareth Empire. Judging from the first page of this chapter, seems like the FT Guild has been re-built completely from the scratch. Later on we can see cute little Asuka running towards Makarov as she welcomes him.

Just as expected Erza did gave away the position of Guild Master over to Makarov. I guess it can't be helped but to appoint Makarov as a Guild Master again since he, himself said that he will be the Guild Master of the FT for his entire life till he die. Now this also shows that Mashima is very determined to have Makarov as a Guild Master till he die as

and even in this chapter.

Let us see whether Mashima remember that or not.*laughs*. Is Mashima hinting that Makaorov will die in the upcoming war?. Seems so. I hope not!

The funny part of this story is Laki Olietta questioning "How many times he back to life?". That is hilarious given the situation. So Raijinshuu including Laxus served the customers in bar when they were in Blue Pegasus Guild?. That is something unexpected from Laxus. In this chapter we can see Laxus and Raijinshuu talking about how their life went in Blue Pegasus and Carla talking to Mest about Sorano, Happy being so 'happy' with fishes, Reedus painting Makarov, Wendy upset because she caught Motion Sickness now and can't able to ride in any carriages, and Erza asking others about the star Mangoes, Asuka playing with Happy and Pather Lily. Last but not least, Max and broom. A lot of detail in this chapter but what I said is just from tip of the chapter.

While Lucy is narrating the story revising all of the crucial events that happened till now, we can see Cana offering her to drink which Lucy tried to give it a go but failed. More and more I am reading Lucy's narration, it gives me the vibe that next arc is going to be even darker than tartarus arc. And then we see Makarov finally making his move to discuss Albareth Empire. The best part of this chapter and dialogue is the speech Natsu made referring to the impeccable battle that is about to come. Natsu's speech is like the narrowed version of how FT members came out victorious in several of hard battles they fought till now. However the best part of his speech is him saying that the thought of imagining the lovely days they cherish being gone is the scariest thing ever. Truly a well said and an inspirational speech made by Natsu Dragneel.

The visual illustration of Albareth Empire and Fairy Tail in the map is very well laid out. Makarov using that Map to explain it is something very well thought out by Mashima. Did anyone noticed that Natsu burnt the region of Albareth in the map?. And on top of that the hand Natsu used to do that is happened to be the very same hand everyone is suspicious of. Is Mashima sensei visually foreshadowing us what is about to happen?. It seems like so. Natsu speech ends with him saying 'we are fighting for living' which made all of the Guild Members to stand on one leg and finally making makarov how he was. The visual depiction of the characters expressions are very well shown and there is much more detail in this chapter that I wanna post but due to length of the post I made this short.

We can see the thought of END that is hovering around in Gray's mind and Mirajane saying she trained in timeskip, though it is expected. As this is going on like this, the sudden appearance of Mavis made the current plot change into the course of history between Mavis and Zeref. Mavis then says to Fairy Tail members that they need to learn two things. Firstly, why Zeref wants Fairy Heart so badly and Secondly, the sin(wrong-doing) mavis did. The second thing is really interesting as we are going to learn what is her sin. This chapter ended with Mavis saying the tale of Mavis & Zeref who sought the One Magic with the emphatic expression from the Lucy.

Final Verdict - Overall an Good chapter with Celebration for reformation of the Guild, revising of the events that happened so far, inspirational speech with the theme of hope along with sudden twist in the plot due to appearance of Mavis Vermillion which became a set up for the 'truth' that is about to reveal.
Regarding Next chapter...It is titled as "Zeref and Mavis...". It is hard to guess anything from that theory rather than me thinking ZerefXMavis. Well that is all this time. Next time in next week...
