Well, an unexpected leak has allowed us to read the new chapter literally a whole week before it's supposed to be officially out. Lovely, huh?
Anyway, the chapter was pretty awesome, actually, however, given my current mental state (thanks college), I'm unable to type too much or even.. think.
I'm just going to say that Irene has gotten one of the best backstories we've seen in a long, long time. And I don't even see the plotholes that people will surely want to talk about, probably the only major one being Acnologia not recognizing Irene as a Dragon. Which, I'm sure, she was able to mask by now, or even enchant away.
So yes, it's been some time since we've gotten a legit villain that's not just there, being a 1D character. And I'm pretty happy about that. August looks so dull compared to Irene lulululul. Now, let's see what Erza can do with a bunny-like armor. Dragon Force Wendy too~
