User blog comment:B j/Prologue to Chapter 282: Ten Keys and Two Keys Review/@comment-4438931-20120511141841

You know how I said that Mashima was getting too predictable? I take it all back. No matter how predictable he gets, he makes the story in such a way that you hadn't been expecting it. Mashima, you freaking genius. I expected Yukino to hand over her keys, but for Lucy to deny them, I have to admit it surprised me. Oh, and not to mention that after the series of "inappropriate" fan service, Mashima has finally given as a really, really good one! Fan girls, brace yourselves! A topless Sting that will make you forget, even just for a moment, how much of an ass he's been lately? Check! One other pairing after a heck load of JerZa fan service? Check! Although it was only implied, who can deny the GruVia moment there? :") This chapter was awesome! Man, Fairy Tail just keeps getting better!

My own rating would be: Chapter over all: 7/10 (lacks action... but the next one ought to compensate for that. ;D) Fan service: 11/10 =) *Thumbs up, Hiro!*
