I wanted to read more than one chapter before commenting and I have to say that the story is decent so far. The concept is not exactly my style compared to Fairy Tail but it should suffice provided that the actual storyline is well written.
Also, I might be the minority here, but I still think Shiki retained Natsu's personality and Rebecca has Lucy's personality. The only way I can see Shiki being Lucy and Rebecca being Natsu is due to their roles being reversed. Shiki (Lucy) is now the lost one and Rebecca (Natsu) is trying to give him a 'new adventure' to go on.

Like others, I thought the highlight of the chapter was the backstory behind Happy's death during the accident. Hiro Mashima never disappoints when it comes to tragic events. Even the part about Rebecca actually doing something in the fight instead of relying on Shiki to help her was quite satisfying to read.
Not going to lie though, I still think the 'friendship' theme is being overused. Like in Chapter 1, when Shiki was tricked by his own people into leaving Granbell (albeit for his own good), that was executed nicely but it should've ended there. Shiki looking back at his planet and suddenly realizing that they were still his friends killed the moment. As readers, we know both sides of the story so that's what makes it sad (when the people you love do something good for you and you were unaware). But there is no need for the characters in the story to know these intentions otherwise it just ruins the moment. Just my opinion though.
