I only recently started reading Fairy Tail (started a maybe 50+ chapters ago before the s-rank arc), but i'm really excited about [spoiler]the time skip at the end of this chapter[spoiler] i've really gotten into the characters and am looking forward to seeing the changes that will be shown

Yeah, I was really surprised... Like, "Really ? this hit can actually happen ?" Well I suppose they were only something like teleported, but well... I don't know what's going to happen anymore Not that I ever knew now that I think about it ^^

Did he write himself into a Corner?

Almost like kurohime and legend of maian.

Kinda neat tbh.

The mangaka already elaborated on all the Fairy Tail members & the existing magic guilds, so it's not like he had much material left. The only thing that was left were these super strong entities (Zeref & the dragons). A timeskip would be able to give new material to write about and an opportunity to make Fairy Tail stronger.

OMG

I honestly have to say that I did not expect this chapter to end like this, especially with a time skip (and its the third time I have seen this occur, but that's another story).

A bit curious about how Hiro Mashima will continue the story, especially with the introduction of the mysterious character at the end.

I like it. and I never get the feeling that anything in Fairy Tail has been planned more than a month ahead, but Shounen's getting less predictable, they don't always win anymore...
time skips time skips everywhere.. 7 years is a bit much though.

just staring to wonder weather the author favourite number is 7

what in the hell just happend? it was just bam and than 7 years later.....

totally unexpected... i like it :}

This was probably the best Fairy Tail chapter yet. Like, wtf?

He did not just kill everyone off and start new characters

That kid better be gray's child if anything!!!

God daman time skips ruin everything except in bleach because it was only 17 months...not really a big deal...SEVEN YEARS IS WAAYYY TOO LONG!!! HE DIDN'T PULL THIS SHIT IN RAVE!!!!!

WHATEVER...I'M GONNA READ IT ANYWAYS...

wow, a timeskip, without any story build-up no less. I think Mashima Hiro is trying to hard to keep up with Eiichiro Oda.

Everyone is trying to keep up with Oda Eichiro. His success might have changed what manga editors will let their slaves get away with though..
hehe, even in bleach the art style had changed so much that it may as well have been longer, after the timeskip a lot of characters looked like different people (eg. badkittygrl4567's avatar).
7 years all the men will have massive beards and all the women will have boobs 3 times the size of their heads instead of 2 x...
will keep reading for the sight of Natsu with a pink beard, hehehe

oh yeah and well-spotted on the 7's
They probably all got blasted into the dragon world or whatever.

I did not see that coming... I hope Mashima didn't kill any of the characters... If he did I'll be really sad (I liked all of them xD)

It's true that 7 seven years is waay too much... But Claymore had a 7 years time skip as well and it wasn't all that weird (well... probably because they don't age xD). It's a long time, true. But it's also more than enough time to change a lot of things in the magical world.

Hahaha if they were teleported to Edolas it'll be ridiculous (I don't know why I thought that...)

The group will have survived thanks to that mysterious woman(?)/girl(?) we see for half of page 10 x.x

Although didn't expect the time skip though x.x
