Fairy Tail V01

I love Fairy Tail. When i received it had dry blood on the first 10 pages. It was under Good so i wasnt expecting it to be clean or anything but there should be a limit. If your selling yours books on here because theres blood on the pages rethink your decision.

Fairytail is one amaizing manga to read! But when I recived it, it had writing in it and was colored! I really wasn't happy with that :( but overall the story line and characters are amazing! :)

Fairy Tail is, in my opinion, one of the best shonen manga out there as of now. It's mix of humor, action, and inspiration makes it the paragon of the genre. In it, you follow Lucy, Natsu, and the other members of the mage guild Fairy Tail as they go about the world defeating incredible monsters and other powerful enemies mages. Fairy Tail is no average guild, however. Each of its members are incredibly lively and just as incredibly destructive to everything they come across. With a story that doesn't skip a beat and scenes that stir the spirit, Fairy Tail is number one on my list of recommended manga. One last fun note I think is worth mentioning: Unlike in many other manga and anime where a friendship speech is followed by gooey-eyed expressions, friendship speeches in Fairy Tail and followed by an epic beatdown that gives me the shivers like nothing else!

Seventeen-year-old Lucy is a buxom blonde with a sweet face and an attitude to match. She's also a celestial wizard. She has the power to summon creatures from other realms with the use of gate keys. To most people, this would sound extraordinary, but in the land of Fiore, wizards are just as common as merchants and teachers. They even align themselves with guilds to keep employed. Like any normal teen wizard, Lucy is ready to make her way in the world. She dreams of joining the Fairy Tail guild, a group of powerful wizards that she has been reading about in magazines. She just needs to figure out how to get in. Her ambition to join gets her in deep water (literally), but a fortunate chance meeting with the fire wizard Natsu, a boy with flaming hair and a scarf that resemble scales, opens the door to get her foot inside Fairy Tail. Now if only the place was as cool as it appeared in the magazines.. . . The Fairy Tail guild is filled with powerful wizards, certainly, but they they're also a scruffy bunch of drunkards, playboys, nudists, and brawlers. Even Natsu isn't much of a prince. He eats fire as well as anything else within arms' reach. Plus, he gets motion sickness and goes overboard when he gets in a fight. Most of the Magic Council members, the governing body that moderates the guilds, think Fairy Tail is full of idiots. Their antics tend to rack up bills, destroy property, and generally annoy the public. Still, they're good guys and take great pride in their name. Despite the shock from the reality check, Lucy is ecstatic to get her chance to join the guild and show them what she's got. Fairy Tail is a popular series in the manga underground, and now it has finally made its way to North American bookshelves with the recent translation from Del Rey. The manga offers a wide cast of lovable characters, each with his or her own unique set of skills. This is pretty common in other large cast series where everyone needs their own gimmick to stand out. This series is definitely for the Naruto/Bleach crowd, but unlike those two popular shounen (boys) titles, Fairy Tail appeals to both boys and girls. Yes, Mashima's female characters do seem to have "magically enhanced" breasts, which can be a bit distracting considering the youth-centric story. Seriously, almost every screen of Lucy could read: "Oh, look, my boobs!" But hey, it's forgivable. The art is consistent, strong, and well suited to the story. Despite the disjointed feel of the dialogue, Fairy Tail is overall very charming and will appeal to a wide audience. It has magically inclined teens with a ragtag cast of characters, each unique in both powers and flaws. It is a very easy series to get into if you want something light and fun. -- Courtney Kraft

Fairy Tail I and II Every now ant then, you have to mix things up. At the Fairy Tail Guild, the fire eating Natsu initiates Lucy, a young wizard, into an oddball mix of accomplished practishoners. Womanizers, a scarcely clad ice wizard, a heavy drinker, and a world inhabited by magic powers towns and shops. If you have ever read Myth Inc, then you will appreciate the dry humor, the offbeat magicians and battles, and the guild that bands together no matter how bizarre their circumstance. The best summary of the Fairy Guild is a description of what happened to them. From page 106 to 111, the council is upset at the Fairy Tail Guild. Sure, they seduced the grand-daughter of the senior council member, drank 15 kegs, charged expenses to the entertainment, destroyed 7 homes. But what happens in magic, stays there, right? According to Makarov, the master of the Fairy Tail Guild. "Magic isn't some miracle...if you spend time worrying about what those in authority think of you, your magic will never advance...Follow the path you truly believe in!!!" I almost expected to see Yosamite Sam step out from behind Makarov. He has the moustache, the same temper, and the same stature. Perhaps the WB style art is more of the appeal than we would care to admit. Two volumes are being released at the same time. Enjoy Manga that doesn't take itself seriously. Fairy Tail I and II, the third is due out soon. [...] Tim Lasiuta
