FAIRY TAIL 2

Really enjoyed this. Someone is watched the show It's interesting to see the original story. So if you like the show or the first edition I would recommend this one as well.

I decided to take a look at the *Fairy Tail* manga series as I have friends that like the anime adaptation and have heard a lot about it. It's both good and bad in the buzz I've heard. Cheesy and bad plot at times, and good plot, tons of characters fleshed out and cheesy awesomeness at others. So I checked it out and I really enjoy it. So here we go.*Fairy Tail* takes place in a world that is a sort of schizo version of ours. It has a folks dressing in fashions from many different eras, trains exist, and other things so far that seem to place this at no specific era, but a purely fun, fantasy world.In this world we have our hero and heroine. Well, our <i>main</i> hero and heroine, as this manga starts with loads of characters, and I hear it just adds more and more from there. Anyways, introduced in the first volume, we have our main hero Natsu and main heroine Lucy.In the first volume they met when Natsu saved Lucy and inducted her into the guild of which he is a member, "Fairy Tail". Obviously, this is the reason of the manga's title. It is cool for Lucy because this is the guild she has dreamed of being accepted into for some time. They had a few adventures which continue on into this second volume, basically two short, but rather simple, story arcs.About midway through this volume is where the first truly serious arc appears to be starting. Erza, the most powerful member of Fairy Tail, whom everyone fears, come asking for help. She is onto a case of a "dark guild" that is out to cause serious trouble, though she doesn't know what that trouble would be yet. A "dark guild" is a guild that refuses to obey the laws by doing numerous evil activities including assassination. Because of this, they are banned and declared illegal.Lucy is eventually roped into this to help mediate on the mission between Natsu and another wizard he fights with a lot, named Gray, both of whom were chosen by Erza for the mission.This manga so far is quite interesting. Some might dislike the fanservice, as the mangaka gives a lot of glimpses of the attractive garb of the characters. but then again, he also does the uber-muscular guys showing off pecs, so it is kinda fair in that department.I hear that some think he goes too far in the future chapters/volumes with this, but we'll see. In general, I like the world-building, the magic systems he comes up with for characters, as well as the characters themselves. Erza, Natsu and Lucy are a hoot. And Happy, the talking-cat is funny in his interactions with Lucy. The author, humorously, admits how tough it is to come up with the magic systems, but he seems to do a good job of it. And this makes the manga a lot of fun and a compelling tale.Highly Recommended.Rating: 5/5 Stars.

tl;dr: worth keep readingIncludes 9 chapter (#5 to #13)"Daybreak" / "Invade!! The Everlue Mansion" / "The Wizard's Weakness" / "Lucy vs. Duke Everlue""Dear Kaby" / "The Armored Wizard" / "Natsu on the Train" /"Spell Song" / "Death Laughs Twice"Spoiler Free:49 volumes ago...this was a very good rising manga. Very touching moments of Lucy's backstory. We see the main females characters fighting for the first time.Worth reading? If you like the 1st volume, yes. It is an over the top manga with long spell names like "Roaring Dragon Thunder Flame Heavenly Sword of Life" so if you like that kind of things, and wizards and dragons. Yes, it is good.PARENTS Be warned: Lot's of fan service! ^_~

I skipped a bunch, because it’s almost exactly word for word like the anime. Still a good story though. If you haven’t seen the anime, it’s a good story.

Sometimes I forget, when re-reading or re-watching something, exactly why I chose to do it in the first place. I TOTALLY REMEMBER NOW (even though it only half counts because I watched Season 1 of the anime before reading the manga...)!My favorite characters, all together. YES! FINALLY! We finally get to see more of Grey, we meet a super strong member of Fairy Tail, and we get to learn a little more about this particular "wizarding world". All signs point to " take my money*.PS: Why is Lucy so vain? Hahaha 😂

I’m so glad that the series greatly improved and I’ve realized now that it was Vol 3 that definitely got me hooked, but introduction of the guild along with Erza and Gray were a step up. I’m also so glad that the anime is basically page for page of the manga.

Nuff said

A good continuation of the series. Opens (and spends about half of it's pages) on the Everlue Mansion storyline, and spends the rest of it's length on the Eisenwald arc.Contains Chapters 6-13,the origin of character names, and early designs for the Fairy Tail symbol.While I don't particularly love the Everlue storyline, Volume 2 introduces several major characters/characters that would go on to be major. Still an enjoyable Shonen action series.

Super great, I bought this for my brother, I introduced him to the fairy tail anime a couple years ago, and since he's since learned to read I am now buying him the manga. A lot less boobs in this, ahaha...I love fairy tail I've been reading it online for years, It's great to support the actual manga (however indirectly haha), and it's nice to share something with my bro. He's 8 years old, he loves it, If you're familiar with the anime, this site similar. It starts off cute and fun, over time however the manga definitely gets more serious and focuses on a lot of themes, the anime usually remains pretty light- hearted. Volume Two still has that light heartedness of the beginning of a story, so its good for a little kid, but soon it's going to start touching on importance of friendship, trust, family, all that.I think it'll be a pretty meaningful series for my brother to read for the next few years as he grows up.It's good for older kids and adults too, it shows a lot of important themes that are important for anyone, more adult ones such as losing loved ones, letting go, moving on.If you have the first volume you should definitely buy the second and stick with it!! If you've read / are reading up to date online, or watching the anime then I think its important to support the actual printed manga, and to read the original series and try something new!! I usually buy the first three or four volumes of an ongoing series I like xD I don't have room for shelves and shelves, but it's nice to have a small part of the series.

The media could not be loaded.  Lets goo Fairy Tail !!!

Love the Manga and the Anime; my partner and I are fully caught up with the anime and I'm surprising him with the manga collection! He loves the Fairy Tail series and I believe we would both recommend to anyone who is either unfamiliar with manga or just discovering anime.Very funny and lovable characters with in depth back stories and intricate plot. If you haven't read or watched Fairy Tail, then I would highly recommend that you do.

I have always loved fairy tail and I am only now getting the chance to buy the manga, I love them!

Blimey my girlfriend bought my son the first book of this series and he actually read the thing and he demanded I buy him the second one so here I am.Must be good if it keeps a stroppy 11yr old happy and quiet, might be todo with the pictures but oh well he's gonna grow up sooner or later right!?
