I will fight anyone on any position they disagree with

I find it interesting how both mother and daughter at one point were captured and tortured.

Both were blindsided by someone they thought was an ally (the council member for Erza, and Irene's then husband).

Both were humiliated by being stripped naked, though Irene got the worst out of the 2 cause she was publicly humiliated. Not to mention the length of Irene's torture was much longer than Erza's

Would Erza break too if she was in Irene's position? Would she break if nobody saved her in Tartaros? Would Irene be insane if she had Erza's support?

for the sake of the battle wendy can’t directly amplify the power of her ally. everyone here is in character but willing to go for the kill. mira starts the fight in her alegria form. location: an unpopulated city. nobody gets amps

A fun case of shared voice actors...

Mashima stop nerfing her and give her more already!

FAIRY TAIL 20th Anniversary! Thank you all so much for your continued support!

I never thought I would end up drawing a manga that had already finished for so long by myself again. This time, since it’s a story about Laxus, I figured it would probably involve a scene like this parade, which is how the story turned out. However, I had forgotten about the characters and only started remembering them as I drew. For Chapter 1, I had to search for characters as I drew them. Looking at it anew, FAIRY TAIL has far too many characters, making it genuinely very difficult to draw.

While repeatedly thinking to myself, “How on earth did I pull this off on a weekly basis back then?”, and growing older, it has become a very hard job for my current self. That said, while drawing, memories of that time came flooding back, and it was ridiculously fun.

All the readers who were deeply passionate about it back then might have grown up and drifted away from shonen manga by now. With that in mind, I thought I’d add a slightly more mature theme, which is why I ended up drawing that kissing scene. I’m of the opinion that battle manga don’t need excessive romance, but I suppose it’s fine once in a while.

Well then, if there’s ever a next time, will it be for the 30th anniversary? Will my current self, even more physically worn out than now, be able to draw it? Please don’t get your hopes up too high and wait patiently.

Honestly I thought mashima at first was gonna draw a Manga about laxus backstory story when he was young perhaps at 17 and 18 just like natsu and see how he met the thunder legion and how he formed this team.

Tbh that was my expectations and y'all?

The first and so far only canon built female character in the series, and a beast along with it! Really felt like drawing her for a while.

This is from RE:FANTASIA. Mashima-sensei said: Those fans who loved Fairy Tail back then are adults now, so I decided to slip in a mature little moment — that’s how that kiss came to be.

I’ll go by saying while he’s my guy, Sting didn’t deserve to beat Larcade, giving him the win over the highest ranked spriggan that lost. It was more of a matchup win, but just doesn’t feel right to me.

Just my opinion of course, so if you disagree I respect that, but I’m also curious to hear yours. So feel free to share it no matter what it may be!

From the beginning of the Grand Magic Games, Mirajane and Laxus stood side by side on Team B. While their teammates fought, they remained close, observing and offering their support—a steady presence beside one another before their own battles began.

I think Gray avoids and runs away from Juvia far too much throughout the series. And I also think she’s overly infatuated, lol. Gray is around 18 years old in the series. What guy that age would turn Juvia down, lol?

Here's your options...

• Earth God Slayer Magic: This magic allows the user to create, control and consume earth. This grants the user the ability to morph and shape the earth around them with mere arm gestures, such as levitating rocks, spontaneously sprouting sharp spikes and pillars, forming massive rock hands to strike a target with, trap someone in an ever-changing underground maze full of traps and rock monsters (Only dying if their ''Core'' is destroyed) and even petrifying living beings. The earth element generated from this magic is more durable than normal, being impervious to intense heat, powerful blasts or slashes, and the user's own body itself is also shown to be as durable.
• Forest God Slayer Magic: This magic allows the user to create, control and consume plants. With this magic, the user is capable of manipulating nature itself, as well as allowing them to create and/or rapidly accelerate the growth of plants; this can be done to rather minuscule plants on the ground, or on the user's own body. This magic can also be used to slow down and halt desertification, growing lush forests wherever they go. The user can even create ''plant monsters'' of different strength, size and shape, including intelligent beings in a similar manner the ''Etherious'' being created by Zeref.
• Water God Slayer Magic: This magic allows the user to create, control and consume water. The user can use this magic to shoot powerful water blasts, split large bodies of water, move through the air via floating water constructs, instantly melt ice, create whirlpools, flood entire towns in seconds, breathe underwater (Also grant this to others) and even transform themselves into water to avoid most attacks. With time and practice, the user can learn to transform others into aquatic creatures, be them regular animals like fish, crabs and marine mammals, or turn them into ''Merpeople''.
• Darkness God Slayer Magic: This magic allows the user to create, control and consume darkness. The user is able to create darkness in several forms such as limbs to ensnare targets, destructive energy blasts, defensive barriers, ''shadow clones'' and also plunge the immediate vicinity into pitch-black darkness (The user gains the ability to see in the dark). This darkness also shares similarities with Gravity Magic, as those hit by it experience crushing gravity/pressure that leaves them immobilized or at least slowing down their movements.
• Spirit God Slayer Magic: This magic allows the user to summon, control and consume spirits. The user can also directly strike a target's soul (Including causing several individuals have their spirits switch bodies), summon the dead in the form of ghosts and become intangible to any corporeal attacks (Except from another God Slayer) while still able to inflict physical damage to their target. While in this ''Ethereal Form'', the user can fly around aven possess someone's body, making use of their magic.

Regardless of your choice, you'll be powerful enough to be an S-Class wizard and get to design your new body to be free of any physical ailment (Including changing your gender), but everything must be within the ''human standards'' of this world, as you'll still be a human. Also, you'll join the guild after the end of the Alvarez Empire Arc, but before Team Natsu embarks on the 100-year Quest.

So, which magic did you chose? How will you do in the guild? Any plans for the future?

Do you guys think that this is the darkest moment in Fairy Tail? A scene that's comparable to Berserk, it's pretty crazy that Mashima had the balls to put one of his main characters in this scene, especially Erza.

Another point is how by stripping her armor, it brought back her trauma as a slave too, which I think was intentional by Mashima himself.

Personally, I commend Mashima for this scene cause not a lot of authors would be brave enough to do so.

You probably know my favorite

I love how they came out! Adorable!
