User blog:TheCarrotSaysYumYum/FT0 2 - Game of Truth, Review.

Hey hey everyone~! I haven't made a review in a while, so I decided I would :)



So, this chapter seemed kind of short admittedly (aren't most monthly mangas 30ish pages? Well, I ain't complaining seeing as Mashima already works so hard anyways), but I also really enjoyed it for a lot of reasons.

First, Mavis is just freakin' ADORABLE! I don't know how many times I paused to just go "awwwww' during this chapter, but it was A LOT! The best panel had to be at the bottom of page 12 (MS's version) where she's jumping and going on about reading books. Cute fucker X3

Second, Yury is awesome! I love his character and we barely know anything about him. It's funny though cause when he pulled out that Judgement Field item and said it was an "A-Class secret treasure", was I the only one who thought of Sylph Labyrinth and their whole treasure hunter guild thing? Ahahaha, tbh, I'd LOVE it if it's revealed that Yury, Precht and Walrod are all part of some lowly treasure hunters guild XP

So, Yury wants the Tenrou Jade and Mavis won't give it up so they play a game :D I followed for the most part and was a bit o__O at the fact that Yury is in his teens (must be 19). I would have said early 20's, but it seems Mashima likes using older teens for his stories, so whatever :P I get the feeling Yury is going to lose next chapter because Mavis is just too good. I really don't see him winning :P

Now, I wasn't going to type up a review because I usually don't, but I found a post on tumblr that I really want to bring up and address here. It's a real doozy:

Is Zeira still alive?

Now, I know the simple answer is yes, BUT! What if she is just a figment of Mavis' imagination? She disappeared when Yury arrived in the wider shots and Yury never saw her. I know this doesn't confirm that she's not there, but to be blunt I was really shocked when she appeared on the second page because I was all "what's going to happen to her character?" I mean, unless she's the one taking the photo, we don't see her at the founding of the FT guild... so does something happen to her? I'm not sure, but it would be pretty neat if she was all made up in Mavis' head so that the little girl isn't lonely. An interesting thought either way and I'd like to see what you all think ;D

Overall, I'd give this chapter a solid 8. I didn't see anything wrong with it and the characters were nicely displayed. We also got a lot on Mavis (young girl stuck in a library for seven years pretty much) and slowly, slowly Yury is coming into his own. I love all of the characters (however few there are) so far in FT0, and I hope the series continues to be interesting :D

So, what are your thoughts on Zeira, and who will win the battle of the wits??

Carrot out~!

P.S: Ice Trail isn't out yet, but odds are I won't add it to this review. I mean, I don't give five shits about Gray and I'm not really into that spin-off. Feel free to comment about it here too when it comes out though :)
