[violet]THIS MANGA RULES[/violet] and now is a anime with mayor cool effects

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.

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 ^^

My first impression when i first look the cover of this manga is.... Is this another series by oda sensei? .I can see luffy, nami, zoro, even robin there! (Urtear exactly look like robin) Not to mention chopper as a cat

Updated comment:
I have this habit to put "On hold" this manga 30 chapters+ for each arcs, before starting to read it again .
My reason to continue reading Fairy Tail because it's fun n interesting. This manga's positive points are likeable characters and their unique magical abilities.But at the same time, it's carrying serious illness:
. Nakama is an ultimate weapon to win fights you can't win with your 'normal' state, it is also an elixir which its effect gives you a boost of abundant energy when you are already half-dead.
. This gerard, zeref, gerard, zeref, gerard, gerard, zeref, gerard, enemy, zeref, zeref things.
. We fight together -- we beat up that monster -- we.. go go power rangers!
. They put too much characters (like Bleach) and mess up with the story.
. There are still even more powerful + more evil + more secret evil weapon retelling story, so the fight of previous arcs seem exaggerated.

Personally, i think this manga is like cheese. many plotholes, neverthless it is yummy. But too much eating it, and you'll get sick of the taste.
Eat wise my dear~

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.

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!!!-

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.

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.

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.

The character's looking alike isn't an issue.

This is a nice manga but it has 3 flaws.
The fights aren't very smart. But I'm still early in this series.
I question how the characters are going to get stronger, and It'll probably some uncreative way. I don't like how, so far, they've made magicians seem too strong. Comparative to the other classes. Like couldn't a sword magician, be in a knight Guild.

The world and concept aren't too original. The original concept actually sound more creative. Couriers, and their adventures delivering something. That's usually when Fairy Tail is smarter about plot points. When they use magic for something other than combat.

I'm going to add two things: I like learning about the other characters in the profiles. But sometimes this manga breaks its own established rules. Its a horrible practice that these types of manga tend to do. Suddenly becoming stronger than someone already established as stronger doesn't make sense, neither does learning, and negating an opponents magic. It takes the strategy out of a fight. It's like the old superman movies where superman suddenly developed telekinesis and a weird plastic net from his shield.
