how do we know this isnt also from the same one as that fake table of contents?
15 also seems like a really weird number.
I've heard either 3 or 12 (the former number for the chapters needed to complete the next volume, and the latter for one after that as well).

2-3 for the joichiro battle
1-2 to wrap things up
The fandom will implode (even more than they already have) if this is true
Same way that Bleach, Naruto, and Fairy Tail all did. By the time the series has gone from just slow decline into being mediocre to rapid descent into garbage, most of us are too committed to pull out.
And as someone who doesn't read the series, I'm here lol.

I'm sure the seven people still enjoying it will take it just fine
the number of people clicking and liking my SoTaku fanfics say hi.
Hey now, Fairy Tail didn't have a slow decline, it was always mediocre at best
I wouldn't say you need to still enjoy it to be a part of the fandom ;D
I'm not shocked. This whole arc has screamed "last arc" for better and for worse.
Shishunki Bitter Change
Saw that volume 9 was the last volume when it came in, so I finally went ahead and read through all this and... it's weird, because I think it's the most I've been disappointed by what feels like wasted potential in quite some time. Like, it doesn't really pay any more than lip service to a lot of the stuff that's really interesting about the idea (the whole puberty thing being a big one of course, but also stuff like how it doesn't really dig into the fact that, y'know, it's like "hey kid, suddenly your family consider you a stranger and you have to live with a whole other family entirely", which could have been a crushingly painful topic to hit on.) Plus honestly just... something about the flow almost made it feel borderline like it was written as if they'd just switched at the start of high school or something, what with never dropping the "you must act as if you are holding onto my body for you, and we never seem to consider 'oh man, this has been my body for like almost half my life now.'" It still does solid stuff and I certainly wouldn't call it a bad high school focused body swap manga, but I guess I'm just distracted by how it doesn't really feel like what I expected.
Also, man, they just led poor Koizumi along for no reason whatsoever, and it never lead anywhere or got resolved. Just "eh, fuck it, she's one of the few people in on our secret, but let's just leave her believing a big old lie that doesn't really serve any purpose."
Oh, and hi there

Kaguya 144
Being Maki continues to be suffering. I also like it how Prez x Kaguya is the main focus of the manga, so all the typical harem shenanigans is dumped on Ishigami. Lol, speaking of...
5Toubun 80
Ichika continues her reign as the absolute worst sister. Not even doing "best girl" nonsense, just in terms of being a good sibling. Weird, considering she started as the best one. Yotsuba is the best sister at this point. I feel bad for Miku, but she needs to stick up for herself here. Also, I feel all of this is just going to make Fuutarou snap by the end of this arc.

5Toubun chapter 80
You know what?
Yotsuba is the best one. Ichika's boat should hopefully sink after this chapter as she doesn't deserve this. Why the hell does she keep destroying Miku's plans of all the girls? Especially when she saw that her sister was working hard to impress Fuutarou. Hopefully he does the right thing and puts Ichika in her place. Same goes to Miku as she needs to get better at standing for herself.
As said before, hopefully Yotsuba wins because she is the one who deserves happiness the most.

Whaaaat
This post need to be quoted more
Hopefully this is a sign that Va11halla have a solid audience there
Need to allocate some space for Azami's redemption.
15 chapter countdown would be odd. Has anything gotten that big of a heads up? Usually a month or two (if any).

Mieruko-chan (alt. title : The Girl That Sees "Them" / Japanese original title : 見える子ちゃん) 1 - 9
A kind of horror/comedy slice-of-life manga serialized after it took off on Twitter, about a girl who one day begins to see and hear spirits. So she bravely do the kind of thing a main character would do : she ignores them, which is not always easy.
It's presented as a kind of dark comedy at first and then BAM the chapter 9 hits you like a motherfucker. Something tells me it's going to get real soon.
And the author has a knack for making truly horrific spirits and monsters :
Kimetsu no Yaiba Volume 15
That was a nice conclusion to the previous arc and I'm enjoying this training arc – it's moving along quickly, we're seeing all the Pillars do stuff, and there are lots of funny moments. They literally say it in one of the chapters, but it does really feel like the calm before the storm though. I expect shit will go down in the next one or two volumes. Impatient for the next volume to come out!
Otherwise in terms of smaller character moments, Inosuke being Inosuke and the blacksmiths getting pissed off at Tanjirou for damaging/losing blades make me chuckle every single time haha
I hope the anime raises more interest in the series, it doesn't seem to be that popular in the English speaking world...
Arata Primal 9
I think the main character is a bit too socially inept, but I think after those last few chapters he'll probably get better. There's also that one chapter (maybe chapter 5?) that kinda had me rolling my eyes when it went on a multi page spiel about how awesome the JSDF is, but following that up with 'But all that training was against humans' with a sabertooth tiger wrecking the soldier's shit up cracked me up. Otherwise, the environmental art and the way the animals are drawn in this manga is pretty cool.
A primitive human (-oid?) just showed up for the second time, I wonder where they're going with this as well.
Jigokuraku 52
So, Gabimaru got his memory back and we learnt the name of his wife. So the chances she's real are looking pretty high. Aza stumbling upon Tensen-sama though... He'll definitely need to up his game

Glad I decided to start picking up MP100. I knew about the roughness of ONE's art, and it can indeed be rough at times (especially faces).
But he has great paneling, and can do some interesting/impressive composition and double page spreads (all from the first two volumes):
I guess it'll be another 4+ years before they get the rest of the volumes released.

The two Dark Horse releases seem pretty good, but I did see one page (third pic above) where, unfortunately, some of the text was cut off from the page.
Zombie Outbreak: 100%

You mean actually making him black? It'd definitely be less offensive but I wouldn't hold my breath. Japanese manga, especially series like this one, don't exactly have a great history of racial sensitivity
Is it Dark Comedy?Read it, it's pretty good :
One of these is a lie
Anyways I'll give this a read. Wonder how crazy it'll get.

Man, I haven't visited this thread in ages and the first thing I see are bad opinions XD
Anyway, ya'll leave Mashima alone. He's trying.
These training arc chapters are one of my favorite stretches of the series. They are so funny but also move the plot along/develop characters.
That's Fairy Tail. Eden Zero is somewhere between Rave and early Fairy Tail in terms of fan service.
