AstroNerdBoy Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 123 Manga Review
フェアリーテイル 100年クエスト
SPOILER Summary/Synopsis:
Selene takes Diabolos to search for Athena. Natsu tells them Fairy Tail will find Viernes and Ignia. Fairy Tail is left with an open invitation to visit Diabolos at anytime. Elefseria and Selene have their farewell. Afterward, Team Natsu inform him that they are returning home to investigate.
At the Fairy Tail guild HQ, the usual festivities erupt when Team Natsu return. Erza speaks to the Fairy Tail Master, but is horrified to learn that thanks to repeated destruction of their HA, the guild no longer has most of the ancient books needed to do their research.
Lucy returns to her home, which her landlady has kept clean for her. When she opens the door, she finds several members of Sabertooth guild waiting for her.
Thoughts/Review:
The thing about a chapter like Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 123 is that it basically retreads a ton of old jokes ’cause “Fairy Tail.” As such there’s the typical party and cameos. Juvia greets “Gray-sama”. Laxus reunites with his faction. Levy scolds Gajeel. Natsu tells a tale.
Of course, no return home would be complete without Lucy walking dangerously on the river walk, followed by entering her apartment, only to find it full of guests. I didn’t expect Saber Tooth though. But what is a little plot convenience for members of their guild to be waiting for Lucy when Saber Tooth also has the ancient books needed to do research.
So I guess next chapter is going to Saber Tooth…unless Saber Tooth has a reason to visit. I suppose they could go, “We need help with X. If you help us, you can look at our books.” We’ll see.
Finally, I suppose we’ll see Diabolos again after a while when they’ve found Athena. But yeah, they are official Fairy Tail allies now.
Final Thoughts and Conclusion
In the end, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 123 is a standard, homecoming story to give a break until the next one.

Admittedly I haven’t read the series in a dog’s age but Juvia always feels so one note to me. I don’t know how many times you can write the “She’s obsessed with Grey” joke before it gets old. I’m sure she has other moments but man…
Heh! I hear ya. I think the only difference in this new manga is that Gray has accepted this, but he won’t do anything about his own feelings for Juvia until “plot” is done (like when the manga ends).
Like there’s nothing wrong with one character being obsessed with another (For example, Boa Hancock in One Piece is absolutely obsessed with the MC Luffy), but if that’s all your character is… I’d just like to see some depth. Or at least some sort of relationship progress. We spoke about Ranma a while ago and how it had the same issue with lack of progress in the main relationship. At least there that’s the core part of the series. Here it’s been going on for… at least a few years in-universe. I’ve read that Grey just feels insecure but that excuse only holds for so long.
Then again, Mashima has sort of made a career on characters with one defining gag: Lucy losing her clothes at the drop of a hat, Grey always stripping, etc.
I wonder if Edens Zero is better about this sort of thing.
Lucy gets two — losing her clothing and folks helping themselves to her apartment. 😂
I quit that too early to be able to say. I should go back and either watch the anime or read the manga.
I always think of that one time Asuna lost her clothes and was all like “Who cares” and kept going then I think of Lucy shrieking anytime she was left naked.
Hahaha! True, though I remember Asuna getting quite angry at times though, even if she wasn’t the victim.
