Synopsis

In the mystical realm of Earth Land, magic exists at the core of everyday life for its inhabitants, from transportation to utilities and everything in between. However, even with all its benefits, magic can also be used for great evil; therefore, to prevent dark forces from upsetting the natural order of things, there exists a system of magical guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore. Under the command of their respective guild masters, these guilds are made up of witches and wizards who take on various job requests to earn fame and fortune. One particular guild stands high above the rest in both strength and spirit, and its name is Fairy Tail.

In his quest to find his dragon foster father—Igneel—Natsu Dragneel, a fiery and reckless mage, and his partner Happy run into a young celestial mage by the name of Lucy Heartfilia, who reveals that it is her dream to become a full-fledged wizard and join the Fairy Tail guild. After rescuing her from an abduction attempt, Natsu offers her a home in Fairy Tail. Now a member of the guild, Lucy teams up with Natsu and befriends fellow wizards Gray Fullbuster and Erza "Titania" Scarlet. Together, this motley crew set out on their many adventures, gaining many faithful allies and deadly foes along the way.

The story is probably one of the best in terms of manga, simply because it does wrap up quite well with a satisfying conclusion and stays narratively consistent. But dear god the fanservice is atrocious, the editors clearly ended up just leaving the author to their own devices after the success of the manga because this stuff is atrocious. The fanservice begins as something somewhat understandable, given the targeted audience, but quickly devolves into completely unnecessary garbage that bends the rules of reality to force itself upon the story.

The story itself is fun and interesting enough to justify wasting a week on, but you ...

If you're here for a very quick and cursory glance, have at thee- numbers on what I consider to be the basics!

Story: 6/10
Characters: 7/10
Art: 9/10
Art/Panel Cohesion: 10/10

I went into this not expecting to like it and yet here I am. A 7/10 is more than I've found myself putting on series with half the chapters' room of screw-ups than Fairy Tail, so this is a pretty big accomplishment in my book! This manga manages to deliver a fun and engaging narrative, albeit a little scattered, from start to finish. The characters and themes remain consistent and a hard limit is never put on the power ...

Fairy tail is a series where a lot of things happen but ultimately doesn't lead to anything. If you want a deep story with great characters, great moments, dope fights, great lore, amazing writing and great humor, stay away from this series.

If you want to turn you brain off for a bit, and see some cool looking characters do cool things while looking at genuinely amazing artwork, this may be the series for you. If you don't take anime/manga too serious this maybe for you as this series has been known to insult the intelligence of it's fanbase.

It's generic as Shonen gets, but not ...
