Chapter 135
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A dragon slayer ??? Well that came out of nowhere.
That means she eats air? O_o
Wouldn't that make her invincible?
This chapter rose more questions than it did answers

Either she eats and is invincible or she eats air based spells....
But yeah that came out of nowhere. Didn't think Erza would have seriously wanted to get her arm chopped off for the sake of the mission.
Ugh, how the hell could whoever translated that use "Elza" instead of Erza? The official romanizations of the names are in the North American volumes by Del Rey. There is absolutely no excuse for mistranslating any of the names.
It sounded more like Wendy eats magic. She has healing spells and other abilities like that, so it is a far cry from eating fire or metal.
Erza always goes overboard...but that's her charm.
There was actually a discussion about the translation of Erza's name on another forum. Apparently it was printed as "Elza" in the manga on her tombstone during her "funeral" after the Tower of Paradise arc. I'd prefer if they stuck with Erza though - it sounds better, and doesn't disrupt scanlation continuity.Originally Posted by Ryllharu
Wendy being a dragon slayer was also hinted at. If your memory is really good (mine isn't) or if you re-read the chapters, there is one part where some sort of light talks to Igneel (Natsu's master/dragon) and mentions that Natsu may meet Wendy someday.
Overall, I'm a bit disappointed with how the story in this arc has played out. There really isn't any good reason for the Oracion Seis to quickly leave other than a plot device to keep the good guys alive.
Sure there is
They're on a deadline to get the magic that's rotting the land
Well apparently she's only good for support spells so she can't actually fight
That would make the ability to eat air less of an haxx
Also, they didn't just leave them there... the dude delivered what might've seemed like the final blow, or quite a strong blow, but were only saved by the arrival of Jura.
I would think that they could at least stay to see the spell finish.
It's somewhat of a single example out of a generalization. I don't think Hiro Mashima's storytelling is as good as a lot of other authors out there, but that doesn't stop me from reading Fairy Tail.
136 is out by imangascans, apparently she does eat air and there is little twist at the end that I really don't like.

Sapphire is awesome!
Dam Abdula, what a rookie mistake -_-
Not only do you post information relevant to the chapter in your post but you write it before the link? I could have done without the "she eats air" spoiler.
Spoiler or no spoiler it was still pretty funny. I wouldn't really call the ending a twist, I think we pretty much saw Gerard's comeback coming a mile away, it just came sooner than expected.
Gerard's return was a bit of a surprise to me. Frankly I was hoping he was done with, at least for a while but they screwed that up when they revealed Mistgun's face. I just plain dislike the whole Gerard-Zeref thing. That was probably the worst arc in this manga so far.
Anyway this seems like a good point to take a break and let things develop a bit. I'll get back to this in a few months.

Big news next chapter? Maybe an anime series? I mean they are over 130 chapters in. That should last a good 50 - 65 episodes so far.
If they draw out the battles to span a few episodes, yes, but I personally hate shows that do that. Fighting is great, but brevity is just as important as good direction and art.
Peace.
^^True, a lot of these chapters are just battles, so maybe around 40 episodes for amazing pacing.
As long as they don't skimp on the animation, and animate Erza properly, I won't complain. I don't read this manga for the story or comedy anyway.
Titania animated would be orgasmic.
Peace.
A One Piece-like animation style would work great for obvious reasons

So what does that stuff in the beggining mean?
Are we finally getting an anime adaptation?
Nope. Mashima Hiro (the author) won the 33rd Kodansha Manga Award (shonen category). Binktopia's version translated the announcment and the praise from other authors, editors and seiyuu (Kawasumi Ayako!) on the second page.
I'll upload the two pages to imageshack in a minute or two.
EDIT:
I think the one that caught my eye the most aside from Kawasumi Ayako was the author of Yankee-kun and Megane-chan being one of his former assistants. Given her art style and the style of the humor in that series, it makes perfect sense.
