Fairy Tail, Vol. 10: Shadows of the Past by Hiro Mashima
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Starting of the Tower of Heaven Arc begins with Chapter 75: Dream of a Butterfly.
Learning that Loke is actually the Celestial Spirit Leo. He tries to whisk Lucy off to talk about their future, but he has to return to the Celestial Plane so he gives the team tickets to a resort. Erza is automatically ready to go wearing her swimsuit, floaty, hat and dragging her packed bag cart. Asking what they're waiting for, and that she wants to on the next train. While at the resort Erza recognizes a card dealer, and bad memories start to return.
Continuing into Chapter 76: The Tower of Paradise.
One by on Erza's old friends and comrades start to show up. She agonizes over the past. While demanding them to free Lucy Wally shoots her with a Sleep Bullet, and the kidnap her and Happy. We learn so much more about Erza's past that is so emotionally traumatic that you begin to understand her character, but you'll have to read that for yourself.
Cheers and Happy Reading!
