Manga Spotlight: Fairy Tail

Today's manga spotlight will be on...da da da dum *drum rolls*

FAIRY TAIL~~

Yup,Fairy Tail. For those who have yet to burn the divine pages of Fairy Tail into your eyes, please visit some of those online manga reader sites.

So, what's so nice about Fairy Tail? For one, its the unique drawing style of Hiro Mashima-sensei, whose work includes the popular Groove Adventure Rave. And the genre's pretty similar to Rave too - fantasy, comedy, friendship (nakama). Heck, even some of the characters look similar and have the same name (Sieghart from Rave and Sieglert from FT). And there's one famous recurring character - Plue from Rave makes some special appearances in FT as a stellar spirit...and it's still considered as a dog. Nice innit?

Not only that, like Rave - which started out as a boy who goes adventuring to destroy some evil stones while looking for his father but ended up with one of the most entertaining and compelling stories I've ever read in recent times - FT started as a fun-going, happy, and boy-meets-gal-become-friends-travel-together. However, as of recently, there are a couple of nicely written stories to accompany the main story ( main character Natsu searching for his...um..."father" ) Plus, we're just shown a speck of the main storyline! Other than Natsu "father" went missing and knowing the identity of his father, we still don't know why he left, and what's with Zeref?

And then there's the gals. Mira-san is so dam cute/pretty, Lucy too, and there's the ever-so-cool Erza Scarlet. All hail Erza!!!!

Since I'm posting this at TARC's CITC (think of it as a computer lab) , uploading the images are a drag. I might edit this is the future when I have internet access, provided I remember to edit it.

That's all for today I guess.....
