[Manga] Fairy Tail

[Arata Fukuyama]

Title: Fairy Tail
Alternative Title: フェアリーテイル
Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Shounen
Year of Release: 2006
Status: Ongoing
Author: Mashima Hiro

Plot Summary: Welcome to a world filled with magic spells, flying cats, and exhibitionist ice mages! We travel to the land of Fiore, where we stumble upon Fairy Tail; a mage guild with the most outrageous and interesting people you can find. This particular tale begins with a very atypical "boy meets girl". A young lass named Lucy -aspiring to be a member of said guild- and Natsu -a flame mage looking for his foster parent Igneel (who turns out to be a Dragon!)- bump heads in the port town of Harujion...

Story (10/10): At first I thought, it would be just any other fantasy mangas out there, but I was wrong. This manga gives off a different feeling. It's somehow you're also in their group doing adventures, having fun, and sharing sadness and pain. You may also feel something like "Wow! What a nice guild they have! I wish I had friends like them..."
While I was reading further, I think about chapter 3 or 4, I thought the one who made this was the author of One Piece, Oda Eiichiro. Cause it somehow reminds you of One Piece and Rave Master, one of Mashima's works.

Characters (10/10): The characters here almost have the same personalities like being witty, weird, funny, pervets, etc...But that's also the fact that this makes a great manga. Most, no, maybe all of them are simply awesome and cool. I mean, using different kinds of magic and stuff. Having extraordinary characters really emphasizes the story.Each of the characters have their own tragic pasts which makes the story even more interesting. :D

Art (10/10):Even though the art is like simple, it definitely fits the story. Even though some characters have somehow misshapen heads :p, it does really blend in with the story and theme, and I think related to their magic. Their fault faces are quite really nice. It really makes you laugh or maybe smile a little :D.
Just look at this picture. It has a really nice touch, isn't it?

Overall (10/10): This manga is really must try. You'll feel excitement when reading this manga and crave for more adventure and Lucy's boobs <-Ooops!

i lov this anime im stil waiting for the next season i didnt even finish season 1 alot of episodes but this anime deserves a 10

I'm actually pretty disappointed with this manga. I know hating on popular manga is all the hype this days but I feel like it has fallen for some many of the setbacks of shounen. The 'friendship power' is so overused it becomes silly and the convenient powerups take out any excitement in wondering how the hero will take care of the bad guy.
I loved the start since it was pretty original and looked like a fun world that somehow reminded me of Monster Hunter Orage. The art is well done as well and I actually prefer the character designs over One Piece.
Hopefully this new tournament arc (one of the only shounen cliches I like) will be interesting and that the mysterious powerup they received some chapters ago don't take the fun out of the battles.

Hey, I have a question about the manga: Is it worth reading?
I mean... I watch the anime already, but does the manga make more sense or is more interesting?

I only watched the first 100 episodes of the anime but from that limited experience the anime follows the manga pretty closely. I recommend reading it though. I can't tell how much it changes from the anime since I don't watch it but I think it has pretty good art and you can be ahead in the story.

yes the art is really good and the story line is touching, i just watched the last ep on crunchyroll and it was really good, it's posible that lucy or ezra might fall in love with natsu

[RunesMaker08]

hello :) can i ask 1 question ? Please ? .. Where can i download latest episode of fairy tail im mp4 or 3gp format ? .. Im using mobile phone .. Please help:(

[kuroobunny]

The anime's good. My fiance told me that the manga was great and that it was worth reading. It has many extra scenes that weren't shown in the anime. But I'm not sure how many scenes were cut since I'm only watching the anime. :)

Really?? I'm getting excited. I didn't have the chance to watch the latest episodes so I'm really not updated. But I am updated till the 60th episode, I think.

[clairesmith]

I'm always streaming the anime and I also reading the manga. I'm a fan of Erza Scarlet! Weehee...

Great review, @Arata Fukuyama (http://www.animeforum.com/member.php?203651-Arata-Fukuyama)

I really love Fairy Tail, both anime and manga, though I've paused it at about episode 60 a few months ago to start watching other animes, but I'll definetely resume it once I get a chance.
My favourite characters are Natsu and Erza, would be nice to see them together :p Though I think Natsu and Lucy would be a sweeter pairing xD

[Emerald14]

If you're up to date with the manga, then you know the thing i've been dreaming of for weeks has finally happened!!!1

[Stradlig Saxul]

Fairy Tail is very well thought out anime series. Very good character development. Main plot characters stay really close to each other in terms of skill and power, except for Lucy. I believe Hiro needs to do something about this, since Lucy gets easily overpowered at times and haven't given justice or proper character growth when you think how long the series has been running for now. I don't expect a badass out of her, just proper development and not just comedy relief.

[Aznen]

memories are coming out..... hahaha I laughed.....
remind me of funny scenes.....
is'nt it a top, anime anyways....

[Kurohime2012]

Fairy Tail is one of my favorite anime, but i sometimes wish that Natsu will grow up a little, he would be cooler if he didn`t act like a kid...

[Sephrim1]

I've heard about it before. You say it's similar to One Piece, because One Piece is my addiction right now. I wanna check it out. You think it's worth it?

So would everyone agree that Fairytale is worth watching?

Terrific Review!

[KateS]

Seriously, Fairy Tail is just awesome. Every week I look forward to a new chapter. In fact, this Friday 3 more chapters come out! :D Anyone else excited for that?

[Abdul]

When is the anime series coming back?

[(_YvOnSo_)]

Abdul When they get ahead with the manga, eventually they'll bring it back up from hiatus.

[LeaderYurippe]

does anyone know when the second anime series comes out?

[williesouliere]

well yeah, it has some pervert moments but actually the storyline and the cool characters are what makes it so addictive! Also, the anime is really good

I like fairy tail, especially the grand magic tournament had a nice feel to it. Sadly the anime isn't airing at the moment, but I do enjoy the manga scans still.
