Plot

The world of Earth-land is home to numerousguildswherewizards[b]apply their magic for paid job requests.Natsu Dragneel,a Dragon Slayer wizard from the Fairy Tail guild, explores theKingdom of Fiorein search of his missing adoptive father, the dragonIgneel.During his journey, he befriends a young celestial wizard namedLucy Heartfiliaand invites her to join Fairy Tail. Natsu, Lucy, and the cat-likeExceedHappyform a team, which is joined by other guild members:Gray Fullbuster,an ice wizard;Erza Scarlet,a magical knight; andWendy MarvellandCarla,another Dragon Slayer and Exceed duo. The team embarks on numerous missions, which include subduing criminals, illegal dark guilds, and ancient Etherious demons created by the dark wizardZeref.

Natsu and his companions eventually meet Zeref on Fairy Tail'ssacred groundof Sirius Island.[2]Cursed with immortality and deadly power for the past 400 years, Zeref wishes to die to atone for his atrocities. A battle over Zeref ensues between Fairy Tail and the dark guildGrimoire Heart,which attracts the attention of the evil black dragonAcnologia.The Fairy Tail wizards survive Acnologia's assault when the spirit of their guild's founder and Zeref's estranged lover,Mavis Vermillion,casts the defensive Fairy Sphere spell that places them into seven years of suspended animation. Later, Fairy Tail wages war againstTartaros,a dark guild of Etherious who aim to unseal a book believed to contain E.N.D., Zeref's ultimate demon. When Acnologia returns to annihilate both guilds, Igneel emerges from Natsu's body, having sealed himself within him in a bid to defeat Acnologia. However, Acnologia kills Igneel in front of a helpless Natsu, who departs on a training journey to avenge Igneel.

After Natsu returns one year later, Fiore is invaded by theAlvarez Empire,Zeref's military nation. Disillusioned with the conflicts performed in his name, Zeref decides to rewrite history and prevent his own rise to power; he intends to accomplish this by acquiring Fairy Heart, a wellspring of infinite magic power housed within Mavis's equally cursed body, which is preserved beneath Fairy Tail's guild hall. While battling Zeref, Natsu learns his own identity as both Zeref's younger brother and the true incarnation of E.N.D. (Etherious Natsu Dragneel), whom Zeref resurrected as a demon and sent 400 years through thetime travelgate Eclipse in collusion with Igneel, all with the intention of being killed by Natsu. Natsu fails to do so, but manages to incapacitate Zeref to stop the drastic changes to history his actions would create, allowing Mavis to lift her and Zeref's curse by reciprocating his love, which kills them both.

Meanwhile, Fairy Tail and their allies detain Acnologia within a space-time rift created by the use of Eclipse. However, Acnologia consumes the rift's magic to escape, granting him godlike power, which he maintains by bringing the present Dragon Slayers into the rift with his disembodied spirit. Lucy and many other wizards across the continent immobilize Acnologia's body within Fairy Sphere, while Natsu accumulates the other Dragon Slayers' magic and destroys his spirit, killing Acnologia and freeing the Dragon Slayers. The following year, Natsu and his team depart on a century-old guild mission,[3]continuing their adventures together.

Production

edit
Author and illustratorHiro Mashima

After finishing his previous work,Rave Master,Hiro Mashimafound the story sentimental and sad at the same time, so he wanted the storyline of his next manga to have a "lot of fun."[4]His inspiration for the series was sitting in bars and partying with his friends.[5]He also described the series as being about young people finding their calling, such as a job.[5]Mashima drew aone-shottitledFairy Talethat was published inMagazine Freshon September 3, 2002, which served as a pilot. Mashima's later concept for the serialized version involved Natsu as a fire-using member of acourierguild who carries various things on assignments.[6]Mashima then came up with the idea to have different types of wizards hanging out in one place, and eventually coerced his editor into allowing him to change the concept to a wizard guild.[6]The title was changed from "Tale" to "Tail" in reference to the tail of a fairy, which the author said may or may not prove to be a "pivotal point."[6]Mashima stated that while he tried to consider both his own interests and the fans' on what would happen next inFairy Tail,the fans' took precedence.[5]

In the period betweenRave MasterandFairy Tail,all but one of Mashima's assistants left, and the artist said making sure that the three new ones knew what to do was the hardest thing throughout the first year of serialization.[7]Mashima described his weekly schedule for creating individual chapters ofFairy Tailin 2008: script and storyboards were written on Monday, rough sketches the following day, and drawing and inking were done Wednesday through Friday; time in the weekends was forMonster Hunter Orage,a monthly series Mashima was writing at the same time. He usually thought up new chapters while working on the current ones. Mashima had six assistants in 2008 that worked in an 8,000 square feet (740 m2) area with seven desks, as well as a sofa and TV for video games.[4]In 2011, he stated that he worked six days a week, for 17 hours a day.[8]

For the characters of the series, Mashima drew people he had known in his life. In establishing the father-son relationship between Natsu and Igneel, Mashima cited his father's death when he was a child as an influence.[9]He took Natsu's motion sickness from one of his friends, who gets sick when they take taxis together. When naming the character, the author thought western fantasy names would be unfamiliar to Japanese audiences, so he went with the Japanese name for summer; Natsu.[4]Mashima based the reporter character Jason on American manga criticJason Thompson,who interviewed him at 2008'sSan Diego Comic-Con,and another on an employee fromDel Rey Manga,the original North American publisher ofFairy Tail.[10][11]He based the humorous aspects of the series on his daily life and jokes his assistants would make.[9]

Reception

edit

Manga

edit

By February 2020, theFairy Tailmanga had 72 million collected volumes in circulation.[105]In France, the series had sold over 7.7 million copies by 2018.[106]According toOricon,Fairy Tailwas the eighth best-selling manga series in Japan for 2009,[107]fourth best in 2010 and 2011,[108][109]fifth best of 2012,[110]dropped to ninth in 2013,[111]to seventeenth in 2014,[112]and was fifteenth in 2015.[113]The fifth volume ofFairy Tailwas ranked seventh in a list of the top ten manga, and the series once again placed seventh after the release of the sixth volume.[114]About.com's Deb Aoki listedFairy Tailas the Best New Shōnen Manga of 2008.[115]Fairy Tailwon Best Manga Series of 2008 at the 2009 Anime & Manga Grand Prix held by French magazineAnimeLand.[116]It also won the 2009Kodansha Manga Awardforshōnen manga.[117]At the 2009 Industry Awards for the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation, the organizers ofAnime Expo,Fairy Tailwas named Best Comedy Manga.[118]It also won Best Shōnen Manga at the 2009Japan ExpoAwards.[119]Volume 9 of the manga was nominated in the Youth Selection category at the 2010Angoulême International Comics Festival.[120]OnTV Asahi's Manga Sōsenkyo 2021 poll, in which 150,000 people voted for their top 100 manga series,Fairy Tailranked 65th.[121]

Reviewing the first volume, Carl Kimlinger ofAnime News Network(ANN) feltFairy Tailfollowed standard shōnen action manga tropes, writing "the mix of goofy humor, face-crushing action, and teary-eyed sap is so calculated as to be mechanical."[122]Carlo Santos, also of Anime News Network, agreed in his review of volume three; having positive views towards the art, particularly the action scenes, but citing a lack of story and character development.[123]By volume 12 Santos suggested that Mashima's true talent lies in "taking the most standard, predictable aspects of the genre and somehow still weaving it into a fun, fist-pumping adventure."[124]Reviewing the first 11 volumes, ANN's Rebecca Silverman wrote that while the art in the early arcs ofFairy Tailmay not be its best, the stories arguably are. She also praised Lucy and Erza as strong female characters.[125]Her colleague Faye Hopper was more critical, calling the manga a "somewhat mediocre shounen series [that] pushes enough buttons" so as to make her want to read more.[125]

Kimlinger, Silverman, and A.E. Sparrow ofIGNall felt Mashima's artwork had strong similarities toEiichiro Oda's inOne Piece.[126]While Sparrow used the comparison as a compliment and said it had enough unique qualities of its own, Kimlinger went so far as to say it makes it difficult to appreciate Mashima's "undeniable technical skill."[122][127]

Anime

edit

The anime has also received a positive response from critics and viewers alike. In Southeast Asia,Fairy Tailwon Animax Asia's "Anime of the Year" award in 2010.[128]In 2012, the anime series won the "Meilleur Anime Japonais" (best Japanese anime) award and the best French dubbing award at the 19th Anime & Manga Grand Prix in Paris.[129]

In reviewing the first Funimation Entertainment DVD volumes, Carlo Santos of Anime News Network praised the visuals, characters, and English voice acting, as well as the supporting characters for its comedic approach. However, Santos criticized both the anime's background music and CGI animation.[130]In his review of the second volume, Santos also praised the development of "a more substantial storyline," but also criticized the inconsistent animation and original material not present in the manga.[131]In his review of the third volume, Santos praised the improvements of the story and animation, and said that the volume "finally shows the [anime] series living up to its potential."[132]In his reviews of the fourth and sixth volumes, however, Santos praised the storyline's formulaic pattern, though saying that "unexpected wrinkles in the story [...] keep the action from getting too stale," but calling the outcomes "unpredictable".[133][134]

Notes

edit

General

  1. ^In North America throughCrunchyroll, LLC(formerly known asFunimation), in the United Kingdom throughCrunchyroll UK and Ireland(formerly known asManga Entertainment) and in Australia throughMadman Anime.
  2. ^abAccording to theFairy TailVolume 2 Del Rey edition Translation Notes, General Notes, Wizard: So this translation has taken that as its inspiration and translated the wordmadôshias "wizard". Butmadôshi's meaning is similar to certain Japanese words that have been borrowed by the English language, such asjudo(the soft way) andkendo(the way of the sword).Madôis the way of magic, andmadôshiare those who follow the way of magic. So although the word "wizard" is used in the original dialogue, a Japanese reader would be likely to think not of traditional Western wizards such as Merlin or Gandalf, but of martial artists.
