I'mma just go right ahead and skip to the good. Because quite honestly, everyone put out their opinion (Especially Mang), so I can't say anything new.

But yes, I too felt something. It was itching, and it hurt. It's called an emotion. Or a "fuck", a magical thing within all of us that is pulled out via an emotional response, either positive or negative, but doing so can sometime require effort to achieve.

I felt it because I could sympathize with Natsu. My uncle died when I was around 7 or 8, and he was in the army, so it was both unexpected and shocking. Took me a while to understand uncle's not coming home. Same with my grandpa, who died around 6 years ago, and ever since, I've been living with my grandma as I promised to take care of her for him.

Now, my uncle is in the hospital, with cancer (Fortunately, it was discovered on time and treated), and I am always worried he might not come back home, like my grandpa didn't come back. He gets visits every day from family, and I do my best to call him atleast once a day and talk to him. I try and hold back tears when I visit him in the hospital, but if something does happen to him, I will damn well cry, in Freeza's words, like a little bitch.

So, yes, it took a parent's death and their child's grieving to make this manga have me feel something since Lucy's father's death and her grief. Fucks have been given. I'm out.
