Oh Hiro, you perverted bastard you. Anyway it's going to be hard trying to get an essay out of this chapter but damn!! Fanservice galore and I loved every moment of this chapter.

Well for once the chapter had its worst art on the cover but it did give us a nice little recap of the events throughout GMG. It even gave us a hint that the hooded women would be part of the 7th of July if that wasn't blatantly obvious enough. Anyway, with Fairy Tail going to a resort it just reminded me of the omake when Makarov thinks about opening the pool at the old Fairy Tail Building to the public, asking Lucy to test it out for him and then everything goes wrong for Lucy. Yeah recycling is a good thing if it's not ideas which have been used already. Still even if it may feel a little bit similar to me this chapter was still very enjoyable (if you know what I mean). Now three pages into the actual chapter and BAM we're hit with some great fanservice (great because of Lucy). Now the train on water must have pissed Luffy off with Natsu stealing his spot and all. There was a little hint of Levy x Gajeel we get even lovelier fanservice, but what I don't really get is why Cana felt the need to change out of her black undergarments into a different pair just for going to this resort? If they’re white she might have a little problem but heck it is Cana fanservice so I’m not complaining. Another thing is the shocked faces of Wakaba and Macao. Usually they'd be the ones to get excited over a woman in her undies but maybe they’re afraid of a certain strongest mage in Fairy Tail kicking their asses if he found out that they were perving on his daughter. Now it was a shame that Elfman was left out of this trip, but wait what's that? Elfman and Evergreen already went to the pool together? Now they must be an item but at least while we wait for it to be conformed, Bickslow will get a bit of fun out of taunting his fellow Raijin.

This were things begin to get real funny. As Juvia fails yet again to gain Gray's affection, Lyon appears. This guy has to be a freaking starker even if he is a funny one. I also realized that Gray and Lyon have their guild mark in the same place (damn how’d I miss that?). Anyway, some stuff for Rem as Chelia meets up with Wendy (I'm guessing Jura and Yuka had to take Toby for his night walk) and I knew Warren was a paedophile! Now with LS making appearance the other guilds would have felt left out so QP makes a WILD appearance with Bacchus, brilliantly being the hypocrite telling his team mates to man up while in a panda inflatable. I found that funny but they kind of ruined the moment talking about the thief thing which I didn't get why it needed to be mentioned. Now BP makes an appearance with Jenny entering, who Rai must be thanking now because she did a wonderful, wonderful thing for us. I approve of Rai's equation for perfection. I also think we should thank Mira for getting payback. Now the rest of BP appear doing their usual thing but good old Erza scalds them, but I must say Eve should have been given some slack as he's been burned enough already (get it? because Rufus attacked him with fir and all) and Ichiya, you're not even worth her time.

With the other teams making their appearance out of the way, seeing Mavis in the pool was funny but it had me beginning to think about how wise she actually is. Still we got an answer to one of the big questions this, how Laxus cheered her up. I'd expect the Drayers to enjoy the pool more but at least this proved to those who said there was no fanservice for girls wrong. A shirtless Laxus was longed for by someone I know and even a shirtless Jellal who we should all who was going to go crazy over that. Now quick fire round, fishes were funny, Cana's bra must have been white, Kinana again?, Natsu must have been spending too much time Ichiya, Mira and Jenny are quick to forgive, Mavis can swim!? That is so going on the "abilities used" part and everyone was having a great time. Then Flare showed up. I was just wondering what this devil women had in mind, what sick deeds she was planning, what she was going to do to Fairy Tail and oh wait it turned out she wanted to say sorry. Well isn't that sweet of her.

Looking at the havoc that ensued, there really should been a "do not run" sign somewhere. Still if Nastu and Icjiya had listened to the responsible adults we wouldn't of have had these two hilarious moments. Ichiya tripping was the best thing to happen here, sending Natsu flying and himself hurtling towards Jellal and Erza. But oh boy no wonder Jellal is one of the best characters in this series with his catlike reflexes; he saved his love interest from years of therapy and copped a feel at the same time. Above that he didn't get killed by Erza for doing so. Good show. With that done we get to see the other half of the disaster caused by running around the pool. Poor Juvia though, seeing her "love" and Lyon sent down the Love Slider together but heck why did embrace each other? Was it the magic of the slider or was it fear? Either way I don’t think yoai fans were complaing. Still freezing the pool wasn't the best idea, especially when you freeze yourself with one of your rivals. Well at least Natsu had a solution to this problem. Brute force is always the best and first choice, remember that kids. And finally with a big boom the evening was ruined. A few questions come to mind though, first of all why are the Trimen nude? Secondly, how unlucky is max to get that broom up his? Worst of all that's the second time it's happened to him. At least Jellal got a great view and Bacchus seems happy. Anyway with Laxus dishing out justice to Natsu and the story of how Fairy Tail lost their winnings beginning this enjoyable chapter came to a close, all I need now is for Lucy unfold her arms.

Overall lovely chapter full of brilliant fanservice, though was a shame the main story wasn't continued. Anyway MDM finally got the boobies he wanted and from those who say there was too much fanservice, THERE CAN NEVER BE TOO MUCH!!! Wait was I able to get an essay out of this?
