When you think this can't get any worse, it does by a landslide.
Irene confirmed dead for good, and confirmed being a total waste of writing.
Natsu's "seeds" just disappear because... because what exactly ? Did I miss something ?
And with that, perhaps RIP our hopes of ever seeing a demon/dragon form of Natsu. All of that in a handful of pages.
This is some kindergarten-level of life-threatening problem solving.
"hey you're dying, make your choice now & decide what you'll become"
"lemme just negate all that shit, stay human & live"
Such laziness, just wow.
At least I guess we can see Acno make a comeback now that Irene's enchantments have been cancelled.
That said, this chapter will be a 2/5.
