I am impressed at the amount of characters that Mashima killed in the aoi war. What a great sacrifice for a great character, her presence is missed.
I am now caught up on EZ. When are spoilers for chapter 198 dropping? Also I hope Ivry makes it cause she's my favourite star after witch.
Lastly he is developing Shiki and Rebecca's romance quite organically and well, just wish he would hurry up with Natsu and Lucy lol.
