I absolutely LOVED it when Brandish put Marin into that tube and thought that would solve the problem for Lucy. :D She's so carefree and somewhat clue-less of what makes people tick that it's cute.

Or how she just casually shrunk an entire hourse just to get her way in something completely unimportant. I can't wait to find out why she's so fixated on Lucy right now.

Though the whole thing with forcing Lucy to bath with her... I don't like too much. Apart from showcasing her odd personality it doesn't really serve any purpose... except for fan-service, but this is a rather bad place for fan-service if you ask me.

Natsu being mature? Well, it's not as big a surprise as it used to be after his conversation with Lucy two or so chapters ago, but still very nice to see.

Regarding Erza, I'm wondering if Marin, or someone with the same magic, is giving Ajeel remote support against Erza. I'd suck for Ajeel to get help against Erza (whether needed or not), but it is a possibility, even though I'd hate it.

I'm not so sure what to make of Mira... I'll have to think that over for a bit more.

But why the hell does Lisanna have cat-ears in her partial bird form? Could that be a sign of her combining different animals into hybrid forms? I sure hope so. That could lead to some interesting and powerful combo-Take-Overs.

Overall a nice and solid chapter. Certainly better than the current episode.
