Erza's childhood friend Jellal has started to play an elaborate board game--with Natsu and his team as enemy pieces to be eliminated.

Fairy Tail, Vol. 11 (Fairy Tail, #11) Reviews
-
In volume 11, as in every single volume until now, Fairy Tail gives us superpowered fights and new oddball evil characters. One of the bad guys is such a hoot:
Also, Hiro Mashima doesn't even pretend to be realistic when it comes to fights and who wins them. Many manga series have good characters winning through the power of friendship, but Fairy Tail takes this VERY literally:
The random, wacky nature of this series is growing on me. EIther that, or I'm just too tired to overthink things. -
Another volume that shines because of characters that aren't the focus point of the arc. Standouts are Lucy and Juvia who provide the humour and Gray's flashbacks that add the heart. However, it does receive a bonus point for Erza's most iconic requip.

I ♥ Fairy Tail!!!!
-
I don’t have the rest of the physical copies of the series, so this will be the last book you’ll see on my feed. Just know that I am still reading it on my ereader though
-
This volume is “okay”. Bit more of Ezra back story and some Juvia love, thiugh, both of which I’m here for.

Ah, some more fighting scenes, I see.
In the eleventh volume, we come across Hiro Mashima's weird world of wizards. I call it weird because there are some things that don't make sense. I mean, up until this moment, we have already found out that one way or the other, the Fairy Tail wizards are going to win. They can take bullets and survive. They can take cannons and survive. They can be at the verge of dying and still, the thought of their friends compels them to fight. I agree, the idea of friendship boosting one's confidence and strength isn't unheard of. But with Fairy Tail, Mashima seems to be doing it on every turn and on almost every page. It's a little boring, if you ask me.
So in the eleventh volume, the Council debates whether or not to throw Etherion on the R-system while the people inside the tower try to fight their way out. There is only one way to succeed—kill Jellal and his minions. Sadly, his minions are from a guild known for its assassinations. It will be hard to succeed. Now the question isn't whether they will succeed or not. The question is how will they do it. (The answer it with the help of their idea of friendship, spoiler!)
What I liked about it the most was the sudden bond between Lucy and Juvia. It was a nice touch to how they have been so far. Hopefully, Juvia will finally see Lucy as a friend and not a rival in love. (Ever wondered how Grey hasn't been crept out by all of this already?) -
As the arc continues, we see the development of the threat and the possible overreaction to what is going on. We also have some good battle scenes. Life and death to some is treated like a game to others.
-
There was a lot of great fighting scenes going on in this volume, and the fact Natsu was somewhat defeated by an enemy and Gray had to save him was great as well. Readers were also introduced to more horrors of Erza's past as she now must go fight an old childhood friend and possibly, was her first crush.
-
How are Jellal and Siegrain connected???
-
As if Jellal wasn’t Ezra and her guild’s only problem, they also get tangled with the dangerous Assassin’s Guild, who specialize in more sinister quests. We do learn of how Erza found Fairy Tail and see her only more determined to save her guild. A (100%/Outstanding)
-
The story was complicated. No!! Many ways of translations make me confused!!! Who is Jellal? Are Jellal and Gerard same? There are a lot of ways to call Jellal. Julia is also. Moreover, a construction of R-system is not clear for me. I need to read this volume in Japanese. I could understand the contents somehow but I couldn’t enjoy.
-
I get that convenient ability matchups are almost inevitable in battle series where the powers are often weirder than your basic energy projection/elemental magic, but *come on*!
The guy who happens to come up against a water woman has hair that, bizarrely, can absorb any liquid and... that’s it? His actual magic is guitar-based (and just... completely OP if he weren’t, of course, a stupid pervert), so, other than his KISS-inspired look, what does the hair have to do with anything? Nothing, that’s what. Largely because these characters were just made up on the spot because Mashima-sensei changed his mind about the direction of certain characters’ stories (he says so himself). And it shows. Plus, for all the build-up for Natsu’s revenge against Box Dandy (I don’t remember his name), that sure got resolved in a silly way. And the cat girl got no spotlight whatsoever.
And yet in spite of all the bad writing, wholly unnecessary fanservice, and confusing continuity (maybe I’m just dumb and forgot, we’ll find out soon), Fairy Tail has heart. Sure, it’s more shallow than the shower before the kiddie pool, but it sure is earnest about friendship being magic, and I can’t hate that.
I just hope that Mashima-sensei comes up with some other ways to win other than, “BUT MUH FRIENDS!!” powerups. I’m also *very* curious to see how often Unison Raids come back in the series. I’m sure it’s a *lot*. /s I know I’ve read the whole series during its original run, but I genuinely don’t remember. -
I really enjoy this arc. You get to see multiple characters grow in different ways, and it's amazing!
-
This will be my full review for this entire series. I already read this comic from volume 1-30. Suppose there 50 volume more of this series but I prefer not to finish it as I don't really like the time-skip idea in this series.
To clarify, I love the idea of time-skip. But, in this series, I really hate it. It make Natsu and other main member weaker. Why make them weaker? I want to see MC progress throughout the series. Then, suddenly become weaker. Not to mention when MC want to win each battle, power of friendship keep coming back each battle.
Furthermore, there are a lot of un-explained things happened in this series. The dots are not connected rather than scattered throughout the series. It just there to fill the plot-hole. Rather than explaining, Mr Hiro keep continuing the series and keep adding new characters each volume.
So, after the time-skip, I determine to stop reading this series. I don't want to ruin my memories of this awesome series. For most part, this series actually had huge potential because of interesting and lovable character, but the plot is keep on damaging this series slowly. -
The Tower of Heaven story arc continues as the Fairy Tail team arrives at the tower to take out the crazy evil Jellal. Unfortunately, Jellal has brought in a trio of magicians from a guild specializing in assassination. Maybe Natzu could take them out if he hadn't got a gigantic cat's head mask stuck on his head! Meanwhile, the Magic Council is discussing whether to use a weapon of mass destruction to take out the tower before Jellal has a chance to revive Zeref, an extremely evil wizard whose return is sure to be a world-wide catastrophe. Erza's backstory continues as we see her coming to Fairy Tail for the first time.
The action is exciting and the new villains are entertaining and a legitimate threat. The stakes are suitably ramped up and the story is interesting. I'm looking forward to watching the anime episodes (season one, episodes 36-38?) for this volume. It's fun to read before seeing.
Highly recommended. -
In this novel we get to follow our favorites as they race against the clock to defeat the Trinity Rave and Jellal. I knew there was a reason for why I was really interested to see where the story line for Juvia would go! I can't wait to see where the interactions between her and Lucy in the future go!
Can we please talk about Gray and his commitment as a friend to Erza? My heart hurt from when he wanted to make sure she didn't cry again. I need more friends in my life that care about me like that. But don't get me wrong, the braveness that Erza showed in this volume is inspiring and I can't wait to see how she fights against Jellal and his idea of her being a sacrifice!
Side note..... I can not wait for the moment in this series where we truly find out the power that Natsu has buried within. This is the second or third major enemy that has acknowledged his untapped potential so far! -
¿Que puedo decir de este tomo? La verdad es que Mashima confiesa que a los Raven Three o comosellamen se los sacó de la galera y eso se nota a leguas. Por otro lado me gusta que el autor sea un caradura total y acepte sus pecados y no se tome nada demasiado en serio, sus personajes ridículos me encantan y me hacen reir (Como el buho con el jetpack en la espalda, ¿A quien se le ocurre que ese buho es un villano creíble?).
Odio que el autor tenga a Lucy solo para hacer chistes de tetas y a Juvia solo para hacer de enamorada sumisa de Grey, asi que me gustó bastante el equipo que hicieron en esta historia.
Gracias a esa capacidad de Mashima de no tomarse nada demasiado en serio y de sacar cosas de la galera, el manga termina siendo muy divertido, por momentos caótico y por momentos sin sentido, pero en general creo que es disfrutable si uno no se pone a pensar demasiado. -
Battle arc with Erza.
World: I've said it so many times, the fights look great. The emotions are over the top and fun. The world building is also solid with a lot of emphasis on character building. Good stuff.
Story: A battle arc and there is a lot of battling. The characters have moments sprinkled on between the punches and it does make the stakes stronger and more emotionally charged. I liked the Lucy Juvia fight quite a bit.
Characters: The characters had some nice little moments that furthered who they are. The Juvia Lucy bond was well done. The stuff with Erza was also really solid. Good stuff.
Strong emotions tied into the punches.
Onward to the next book! -
"I wanted to believe that my armor would protect me!! All my armor actually did...was get in the way of what connects one human heart to another!!! That's what being at Fairy Tail has taught me!!! That it's actually very warm when you shorten the distance between you and the people who share your life!!!"
The Fairy Tail series continues to entertain and thrill. The artwork is gorgeous, the stories are a great blend of kickass action and heartfelt friendship and loyalty. In this volume, some tough villains with wild, weird powers are introduced. And Erza is particularly wondeful, exhibiting strength in her vulnerability. I love this stuff. -
4/5 Volume 11 is pretty much a brawl from beginning to end. We start with a hilarious cat fight with Natsu, the Dandy Man, and the Cat Girl. Then we have Lucy, Juvia, and Gene Simmons having a rock brawl. Next is Gray vs a hilarious Owl Man. We end with a fight starting between Erza and a mysterious swords woman. The action is still well done and I love the humor that is put into these characters.
Natsu, Lucy, and Gray riding some sort of bastardized chocobo in the cover of volume 11.

While Ezra, Lucy and their friends attempt to stop her old companions, including the intelligent Jellal, from eliminating them in the Tower of Heaven, Siegrain is planning on convincing the Council to blow the whole thing up - with them inside! Mashima will keep readers on the edges of their seats with this entry. Time is really not on the side of Lucy and her team this round!
-
Juvia's weirdly desperate, both for the FT gang's friendship and for Gray, but once she joins she'll be a good team member, I think.
By this point it's pretty obvious that the creator is winging it as he goes along. He admits it himself, so I'm not criticizing him with no evidence! The "mid-boss battles" in this volume basically kill time until the final confrontation between Erza and Jellal. -
I read this as part of Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon April 2020
The Tower of Heaven arc continues as we dive even deeper into the situation, learning even more about the characters involved. Also, I love how this arc shows how Juvia is really trying to be worthy of joining Fairy Tail, especially after her involvement in the Fairy Tail/Phantom Lord conflict. -
This volume was particularly well-planned in comparison to previous volumes. The volume opens with a motif about guarding oneself in armour, and by the end of the book, that idea has developed into asserting that armour may also block you off from those around you. I really liked that theme, as well as its depiction within the art and plot of this volume.
-
Again I don’t particularly like the Tower of Heaven arc, but there are some nice pieces here and there. For example, Gray’s reason for not liking seeing Erza cry, and such. Also, the scene where Lucy and Juvia combine their powers is utterly iconic. And then of course you have Erza and that Trinity Raven chick duking it out with their respective katanas. We endorse the bits and pieces

Serinin 10. mangasını geçen yıl mayıs ayında okumuşum, bu yüzden olayların çoğu aklımdan uçup gitmiş. Tam da kavganın ortasındalarmış orada kesinti yapmışım...
Bu yüzden alabileceğim zevk yarıya indi diyebilirim. Onun dışında karakterlerle yeniden buluşmak güzeldi. Bundan sonra okumalarımı çok büyük aralar vermeden sürdürmeye çalışacağım. -
Honestly, I'm not really feeling what should have been some emotional fights and scenes, and it was kind of a shame. Whilst I'm not really invested this is still a fun manga to read though, and despite the general over-the-top fight scenes and the way friendship power seems to save everything, it's still relatively interesting.

Akce,akce,humor,akce,humor,akce,akce, character development. Klasický ukončování story archu, kdyby tam nebylo pár top humorných scén spolu s dobrým náhledem do jizev z minulosti hlavních hrdinů, tak jdu asi níž. Mě tyhle mega přeakčnělý story arcy proste tolik neberou. Tenhle ale patřil mezi ty lepší. Jako miluju ten svet a postavy, jen holt nejsem ten clovek kterej si z tohodle rve curo.
