Fairy Tail (Japanese: フェアリーテイル, Hepburn: Fearī Teiru) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima. It has been published in Weekly Shōnen Magazine since August 2, 2006, and has been published by Kodansha in 51 tankōbon volumes; the individual chapters are being published in tankōbon volumes by Kodansha, with the first released on December 15, 2006, and the 51st volume released on November 24, 2015. Fairy Tail follows the adventures of Lucy Heartfilia, a teenage wizard (魔導士, madōshi),[1] who joins the popular wizards' guild and teams up with fellow guild member Natsu Dragneel as he searches for the dragon Igneel.

The chapters have been adapted into an anime series produced by A-1 Pictures and Satelight, which began broadcasting in Japan in 2009.[2] Additionally, A-1 Pictures and Satelight have developed seven original video animations and an animated feature film, Fairy Tail the Movie: Phoenix Priestess. The series ended on March 30, 2013.[3] However, on March 4, Mashima announced on his Twitter account that the anime would not end yet, and that reruns of the anime will begin airing on TV Tokyo under the title Fairy Tail Best! on April 4, 2013.[4] On July 11, Mashima announced the green lighting of a sequel series of the anime.[5] The new series premiered on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2014.

The series was originally licensed for an English language release in North America by Del Rey Manga, which began releasing the individual volumes on March 25, 2008 and ended its licensing with the 12th volume release in September 2010. In December 2010, Kodansha Comics USA took over North American release of the series.[6] The Southeast Asian network Animax Asia aired an English-language version of the series for three seasons from 2010 to 2013.[7][8] The anime has been licensed by Funimation for an English-language release in North America.[9] As of November 2013, it has 25 million volumes in circulation.[10]

Plot

See also: List of Fairy Tail characters

The fictional world of Earth-land (アースランド, Āsu Rando) is populated by wizards who coalesce into guilds to hone their magical abilities and apply them to paid job requests. Seventeen-year-old wizard Lucy Heartfilia runs away from home to join Fairy Tail, a wizards' guild famous for its members' overly destructive antics. She is invited into the guild by Natsu Dragneel, a dragon slayer (滅竜魔道士(ドラゴンスレイヤー), doragon sureiyā) wizard with dragon-like abilities who travels the kingdom of Fiore (フィオーレ王国, Fiōre Ōkoku) in search of his missing foster father, the dragon Igneel. Lucy forms a team with Natsu and his cat-like companion Happy, later to be joined by ice wizard Gray Fullbutter and armored wizard Erza Scarlet. The five embark on numerous guild missions, which include subjugating criminals, illegal dark guilds, and ancient Etherious (エーテリアス, Ēteriasu) demons created by the dark wizard Zeref. The five gain allies from other guilds and lands, including Jellal Fernandez, Erza's childhood friend who is initially brainwashed into serving Zeref; dragon slayers Gajeel Redfox and Wendy Marvell, whose dragon guardians have similarly vanished; Carla and Panther Lily, members of Happy's cat-like Exceed race; Juvia Lockser, a rain woman who falls in love with Gray; and Laxus Dreyar, the renegade grandson of Fairy Tail's master Makarov.

During a promotional exam held on Fairy Tail's sacred ground of Sirius Island (天狼島, Tenrō-jima), several of the guild's members are drawn into conflict with the dark guild Grimoire Heart over the immortal Zeref, who desires to be killed by Natsu. Despite Grimoire Heart's defeat, the battle attracts the attention of the evil black dragon Acnologia. The Fairy Tail wizards survive Acnologia's assault when the spirit of their founding master Mavis Vermillion puts them into suspended animation with her defensive spell. Seven years later, they return to fight in the Grand Magic Games (大魔闘演武, Daimatōenbu) wizards' tournament and reclaim their status as the kingdom's strongest guild. Allying with Jellal's new guild Crime Sorcière and the dragon slayers Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, Fairy Tail thwarts a conspiracy to ravage the country with dragons brought through Zeref's time travel gate Eclipse (エクリプス, Ekuripusu) from a historic cataclysm known as the Dragon King Festival (竜王祭, Ryūōsai).

Disillusioned by these conflicts, Zeref decides to exterminate humankind. To this end, he organizes a battle between Fairy Tail and Tartaros, a dark guild of Etherious demons who aim to release E.N.D.—their master and Zeref's ultimate demon—from the book it is sealed in; unknown to the two guilds, E.N.D. is actually the alter ego of Natsu, who is Zeref's brother. Acnologia once again disrupts the battle to annihilate both guilds. He is stopped when Igneel and the other missing dragons emerge from the dragon slayers' bodies, revealed to have sealed themselves within their children to immunize them from becoming dragons themselves as a side effect of their magic. The wizards are able to defeat Tartaros while Igneel is killed by Acnologia and vanishes with the other dragons, who have previously lost their souls to Acnologia. Makarov has Fairy Tail disbanded and the wizards go their separate ways, with Natsu and Happy embarking on a year-long training journey to avenge Igneel's death.

After returning from his training, Natsu reunites with his friends to reorganize Fairy Tail. The guild rescues Makarov from the Albareth Empire, a military nation ruled by Zeref, and reinstate him as their master. They discover that Zeref aims to obtain Fairy Heart (妖精の心臓(フェアリーハート), Fearī Hāto), a source of infinite magic power embodied by Mavis's immortal physical form beneath Fairy Tail's guildhall, for use in his plans. Armed with this knowledge, Fairy Tail enters their final battle with Zeref's army and Acnologia.

Development

After finishing his previous work, Rave Master, Hiro Mashima found the story sentimental and sad at the same time, so he wanted the storyline of Fairy Tail to have a "lot of fun [for everyone]". When originally creating the series, Mashima was inspired by magicians and wizards. He based Natsu's motion sickness on one of his friends, who gets sick when taking taxis together.[11] When naming Natsu, Mashima thought western fantasy names would be unfamiliar to Japanese audiences. When writing individual chapters of Fairy Tail, Mashima takes a five-day process: on Monday, the script and storyboards are written. On Tuesday, Mashima writes rough sketches. From Wednesday to Friday, he finishes the drawing and inking on the chapters. Mashima usually begins new chapters after completing the previous ones.[12] For the characters of the series, Mashima drew upon people he has 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. Mashima based the humorous aspects of the series on his daily life and jokes his assistants would make.[13]

Reception

Manga

In Japan, the fifth volume of Fairy Tail was ranked seventh in a list of the top ten manga, and the series once again placed seventh after the release of the sixth volume.[60] Fairy Tail was in 2011 the 4th best selling manga in Japan (by series).[61] About.com's Deb Aoki lists Fairy Tail as the best shōnen manga of 2008.[62] It also won the 2009 Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen manga.[63] It has also won the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation's Industry Award in 2009 for best comedy manga.[64]

Anime

The anime has also received positive response from critics and viewers alike. In Southeast Asia, Fairy Tail won Animax Asia's "Anime of the Year" award in 2010.[65] 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, France.[66]

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.[67] 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.[68] 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."[69] In his reviews of the fourth and sixth volumes, however, Santos criticized the storyline's formulaic pattern, saying that "unexpected wrinkles in the story [...] keep the action from getting too stale," but calling the outcomes "predictable".[70][71]

References

  1. ^ According to the Fairy Tail Volume 2 Del Rey edition Translation Notes, General Notes, Wizard: So this translation has taken that as its inspiration and translated the word madôshi as "wizard". But madôshi's meaning is similar to certain Japanese words that have been borrowed by the English language, such as judo (the soft way) and kendo (the way of the sword). Madô is the way of magic, and madôshi are 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.
