One Piece is the stronger story by turnip head on September 26th, 2009, 1:48am

but this is enjoyable enough. i actually read this one first. still, One Piece definitely left the stronger impression, and i never found myself thinking that IT was the copy. Oda's story is strong in its own right.

actually, i don't care about originality as much as others who've commented. strictly speaking, Fairy Tail is a light, entertaining read. just unoriginal. but- let's face it- most manga is.

nice to read good to forget manga by P0ldl on September 3rd, 2009, 4:04pm

this is one of those mangas i enjoy to read when i have no real good mangas to read. Well some might say that there are tons of good manga out and i can only agree. but unfortunatly i like reading completely scanlated GOOD mangas because else its a hassle to remeber the plot of 20 mangas which only appear with one chapter a week or even a month.
I can enjoy reading this manga because its ok/average while u read it but it makes me not want to know how it ends like the good stuff.
the only thing that bothers me is that people prefer scanlating this manga instead of some better ons who are defenetly out there but hey its mostly a free world so i got no right to complain ^^

Really nice :3 by kiari7!!! on August 20th, 2009, 7:40pm

Eh~ I'm not a fan of shounens, but i must say i've really enjoyed this c:.

I really can't say much about One Piece, i forced myself to read some of it, but it's just that pirates and ships </3. I don't see this much of a similary plot or anything in them tho, but i guess people that want to see something will see it even when there's nothing to see, and so goes for the ones convinced of the opposite ~

The art is nice, the characters are funny, and when i start reading an "arch" , a fight, i know it wont be one of those that last 20 chapters and make me want to stop reading even before having actually started = =.

The mangaka kept giving scattered information about the main plot throughout the first 100 chapters, thing you dont immediately notice but that now that the story's at chapter 148 is clearly visible~~ how the random informations we gained are all connected to ea other c:.

It kinda reminds me of one of my favourites fantasy series c:. All the chapters in it are narrated by one different main character.

The characters grow during the story, after ea arch they all aquire something i find.
The enemies arent just evils or w.e they were called, they all have a story, like Gerard, Luxus, or the Mr of Phantom, i think they're well developed. Well, maybe they don't have a super-deep-story that leaves you tearless or w.e behind, but they still have their story and personality.

I think Fairy Tail would make a good online game o.o <3

Acceptable by comel on August 11th, 2009, 4:24am

My first impression when i first look the cover of this manga is.... Is this another series by oda sensei? Nope, i wrong. But the artwork is really look alike. I can see luffy, nami, zoro, even robin there! (Urtear exactly look like robin) Not to mention chopper as a cat biggrin
But it looks like this one made by Rave mangaka.
The story absolutely better than Rave. It's likeable and interesting...

A rip off. Thats all there is to it by kiron216 on July 25th, 2009, 10:26pm

I almost never think that a 1/10 is merited but for a plagiarized work I think this is acceptable. Anyone who thinks this manga is anything less than a rip off is a delusional idiot.

I recently made the mistake of clicking on fairy tale again because I recognized the name only to find natsu (the main character) fighting a character you weilds and eats poison. Magellan vs luffy anyone. How are people completely oblivious to the parralels?

Keep trying to copy the secret formula of coca cola Mashama Hiro you POS.

awesome:) by winterstarlight on July 17th, 2009, 6:15am

i love this manga!! honestly, when i read the first volume, i was kind of disappointed, but when i read on, it gets more and more interesting and the storyline is starting to come out. it seems as if the author is trying to make a story out of nothing <-(i don't know how to explain clearly in words) but, all in all i find it awesome(:
-FAIRY TAIL!!!-

just meh by elementcharm on July 7th, 2009, 5:39pm

When i first picked this manga up (early spoiler warning)
One of the main characters actually ate fire how cool is that!
Sadly that was really the only cool idea as the rest of the manga is just meh.

The fights are rushed and power is unbalanced. They make these S class mages to be practly like gods that no one can hope to match, because the main characters never really gain any power thoughtout the manga. They just stay the same dispite more and more overpowered bad guys poping up. Because of this while reading, it felt more like a chore to slog though another pridictable fight of, main character gets angry gets butt kicked, gets more angry gets butt kicked, gets SUPER angry gets butt kicked before help comes or does something stupid. After the fight there is no progression of the characters abilites at all.

I get the feeling that there is some possible underlying plot which is an interesting mystery but the plot never takes us there or give us any clues at all. As a result everything almost feels like filler because you want to hurry to the part that reveals the mystery. However this most interesting mystery, is almost completely ignored. I can def see this being a great manga but theres gotta be some all incompasing plot twist that sends this off on some real good adventure. Or tie in everything previously read so it doesnt feel pointless and a waste of time. So overall atm this manga is just meh not very good but not very bad just...meh. Id suggest it if you have nothing to do/read.

Waste of time by waluigi on May 18th, 2009, 7:40pm

At its best, Fairy Tail never achieves anything more than mediocrity. With a forgettable plot, characters and artwork, i can see no good reason why anyone should pick up this manga. By all means, read it if you want to see a exceedingly average and generic example of the genre but expect nothing more.

And the laughable comparisons with the other so-called similar manga need to stop. Its like comparing a sway-backed pony with a thoroughbred.

A little question by Nejikun on May 10th, 2009, 6:52pm

I've read 2 volumes so far, and I feel like the story is too shallow, like they just go on random adventures that don't have any effect on the story at all and once the arc is finished it doesn't make me want to keep reading, and there's no goal, naruto=hokage, luffy=king of the pirates, etc etc. I wanna know if this story is gonna get an actual plot or if they are gonna keep having random adventures, so I dun waste my time reading more than 100 chapters.
