Did Natsu just get flash frozen again?? Freaking again?? Also Juvia is out too? Well \(._.)/

I'm just gonna be corny here with regards to the first half.

FTGM is not amused.

Seriously Mashima, what is up with the explicit BDSM theme these days? Playing one too many eroge? Smh

Funny thing is that above points have been going for 2 arcs in a row and the latter has been going for 3 arcs regardless. Mashima, I'm glad you've picked out what audience you want to target among newer readers but c'mon now, this is going for too many meanings of the word 'forced'.
