RIP Mirajane?

-spoilers to come, so you better have read FT220 first-

I've been waiting for Fairy Tail 220 all week. Yesterday I logged off really late hoping it would be uploaded but it wasn't. And yes, here it is! Chapter 220.

I was all excited when I saw that the chapter centers on Mirajane. I was fired up reading until I realized what was going to happen... and when it did, I just don't want to accept it. Did she, really, got herself killed?
[] Yes [] No [] Not sure [] Haven't read it yet? (then read!)
I see as early as now forum threads with the same title as this post have started to appear, arguing whether she's gone or not...



^ I don't know if I should believe what was implied. Yes- I said implied, since it's not very much confirmed yet. This being Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima... you can't really tell.  I was told when I started reading FT that Mashima's characters have the habit of coming back from the dead, or turning out as not-really-so-dead-yet. I didn't give it much thought then, but now I do.

I certainly hope they were right telling me not to believe when a character seems to have died. I hope Mira's not really dead! I don't think we've seen enough of Demon Mira in action. She has just started to fight again :(

Hiro Mashima, you better take it back as soon as next chapter. Not Mira. Phuleassse. I don't want another favorite character of mine to die.

I am thinking maybe this is just made so Lisanna would have a "reason" to become stronger. Like, Mira's death would be like a Berserk button for her (mirroring Mira's sudden surge of power when Elfman was almost killed) and she'd have some awesome fight scene to her credit and release hidden powers and all, but it'd turn out big sis is not dead after all... or something. Maybe it's going to be like that. I don't know. 

I just wanna say I hope it's not really a goodbye yet for Mirajane :(
