This week's chapter cover is one of the best chapter cover with a clear insight about the war that is happening in the manga. It depicts the detail such as who is fighting who and the location of core members of FT Guild who are engaged in the fight, Lucy's Place and who are the mage that are heading towards the One of the Spriggan 12, Wall Eehto etc.,. Overall a good chapter Cover page this week with a good map of war that is happening right now.

This chapter started with Natsu, Gajeel & Wendy who are fighting Ajeel's troops while Bakel running towards Natsu to launch an attack which was easily stopped and countered by Natsu. It is also said that Physical strength is what Bakel is good at. Bakel responds to that attack saying Natsu's scarf is nice. Like I have said in last week's chapter review, there might be something odd about the eyes that Bakel closed up with his own scarf.

The best part of this chapter is seeing how much of a thought Natsu put into while fighting Bakel. This shows how much Natsu grew after one year and 'Happy' being happier after hearing that. Soon after that Humanoid Carla bumps Happy out of her way and fights with the foot soldiers of Ajeel troops along with Wendy Marvell. Like how Natsu got busy with Bakel, seems like Gajeel is engaged in fight with Kareem, who said he is carrying out the

given to him by his majesty. And then the narration shifted to the West side of Magnolia streets where Gray & Juvia are fighting Albareth soldiers on their way to the place where the hole was opened up in the barrier.

Soon after that Strauss siblings came to the same place where Gray and Juvia are heading. The highlight of this chapter however should go to Mirajane Strauss. Mirajane used a new satan soul, Mirajane Seilah. It is revealed that Mirajane used takeover magic on Seilah and completely took her soul when found out the former on the verge of death. Everyone was surprised about that and soon after that demonstration, Mirajane issues

through her Macro on everyone to sleep. Very nice visual depiction of entire battle scenes so far & a good artwork where needed most barring a few. It is also visually depicted that Macro has range limit as casted by Mirajane.

And then the narration shifted to the sky above Magnolia where Erza is having tough time fighting Ajeel. Meanwhile in the Guild, Mavis contacts Osprey Force to hurry up with the Jupiter Canon to help out Erza. The most hilarious part in this chapter is the interactions between Max and Warren. If my memory serves me right, I think this is the first time it is this bluntly shown in the manga. Max words pumped up the dead will in Warren back to right place. Soon after that Warren ships Max x Broom. Bisca says it takes 5 more minutes for the Jupiter to charge. It is shown that Mavis is deeply thinking about a strategy to overcome this crisis.

Covering all the major places in this chapter, now the narration shifted to the Lucy's house where Brandish is bathing. Brandish first asks Lucy to get into bath with her. Seeing Marin might be the obstacle for Lucy not getting into bath with her, Brandish imprisons Marin is a box. And the Brandish says that the moment she entered into Magnolia, FT already lost the battle. She shows a little demonstration about her power and reminds Lucy what she can do if she is all serious. And then Brandish

Lucy to get into bath. Having no other options, this chapter ended with Lucy joining bath with Brandish.

Final Verdict - Overall an above average chapter doing justification to the title of the chapter, 'Orders' with a good narration and good art barring a two or few panels & visually good illustration and detail in the art. All in all an action packed, comedic & a bit of fanservice-ish chapter.
Regarding next chapter......It is titled as "Battle of Nudes"...Either this might be another usual troll title by Mashima or this might be totally that chapter he delivers once in a while. Well, this is all this week, next time in next week.
