User blog:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 428: If Our Paths are Different, Review.

Okay, I actually really liked the chapter cover. It's good to see Romeo and Macao again. ^___^ I suppose that Mashima is going to use the chapter covers to show us what the minor members of Fairy Tail are up to, so he doesn't have to waste any time on that in the actual chapters.

Anyhow, the chapter begins with Wendy undressing Juvia and wiping down her body. Pretty sure I've seen hentai that started off just like that. :D Carla and Wendy ramble on about nothing important, and the only purpose of their conversation seems to be us seeing Juvia naked. No complaints here.

We cut to Natsu and Gray's battle, and the two seem pretty evenly matched up. Natsu does one of his standard Nakama speeches, and Gray pretty much tells him to fuck off... which causes Lucy to slap him. YES!! I've wanted to do that to Gray myself since the start of the series. :D Lucy gives a heartfelt speech to Gray, which is actually kinda sweet until that bitch, Mary shows up and attacks her. Natsu tries to intefere, but the most useless character to ever exist captures him and Virgo with Magic Seal stone. Happy is also captured by Abel, which was pretty damn hilarious. Natsu tries to rush to Lucy, but Jerome puts a blade to her neck.

Outside the guild, Gajeel and the others prepare to enter the guild. And apparently, Levy is a member of the council!!! Glad to see her and Gajeel stayed together. And yes, I am a Gajevy shipper. :D

Anyhow, overall this chapter was pretty great. I've said it once and I'll say it again - I kinda like this darkside of Gray. It's a nice change for someone who is pretty boring ninety nine percent of the time. I also really liked all of his interactions with Natsu and the others. They were very intense and emotional. I can't wait to see what happens next. :D Oh, and shoutout to Glassy who got her art featured in the chapter!!!
