Hey, this series is actually pretty good. Mavis is so cute and smart :D. The way she outsmaterd Yuri in his own game was really well played and I liked how Mashima actually explained how some little girl like Mavis can be such a great strategist. Guess when you're pratically alone in a island with a huge library you have a good way to kill time. maybe she already know how to use powerfull magic just from reading those books.

Looks like everyone is interested in either Zeira is or isn't alive andd if she isn't how ca Mavis see her. I think that she isn't. Yuri's reaction to her presence was that of surprise and maybe not because Zeira is there but because she isn't. And the fact that Mavis answers Yuri's questions in Zeira's place is another indicative. Don't know if Hiro is doing this on purpose but reavealing her to be alive would be much more shocking then reavealing that she's dead.

While Zeira's (un)life have interested lots of you guys what interested me more was the last panel. From my perspective "My heart hurts" can be interpreted in two ways: literally, the one saying it is actually in pain and have some heart disease or is dying. And figurativelly, his heart is broken because he lost someone either by that person's death or he disapointed her to the point that she left him. Or maybe it's both of them, because his previous line sugests some adverse event have ocurred during their trip. If it's figurativelly we can assume that it's Yuri that is narrating the story and the one he lost is either Mavis or Makarov's mother (whom I highly doubt is Mavis or Zeira). That would mean he is or at least think he is directly responsible for her death. But what if it is literally? Then my theory is that the narrator either, got badly hurt and this may be his last chance to record the events, or he has some terminal heart disease and that's the reason why he resorted to become a treasure hunter. Selling rare treasures would get him the money to treat his disease.

Maybe I'm overthinking about this but for what we know all three TH and Mavis were there when the guild was founded and we can assume that Mavis was the one who chose Pretch as the second guild master in a conversation between her Makarov and Laxus during the GMG. But why not Yuri as it seems that their realtionship was good and Yuri had to be alive for t least 10 more years for Makarov to born? That would mean that or Mavis trusted Pretch more then she trusted Yuri or that Yuri simply wasn't there as we never got any reference of him before FTZ. What would that mean? He either did something that made him leave (or something that changed his and Mavis's realtionship) or he died. Some things I'd really like to know is: for how long Mavis was the first guild master and when did she elected Pretch as the second as that alone would exlpain lots of things. Well, as I said I may be overthinking but IMO formulating theories are a really good exercise to the mind so here's another one: Plot twist the story is being narrated from Hades' perspective. Bet that would get so many people off guard don't you think? Ok, I'm done now.

As I said I'm really enjoying this series (maybe because I tend like a manga more for the plot then for the fights) and till now all the chapter were good although a bit shorts for a monthly release. Good work Mega now back to the work on the prediction blog.
