Fairy Tailis one of the finest shonen series in the genre. It sets itself apart from other series in most aspects. But especially with the brilliant writing, character-building, and compelling storyline.

I’m begging you mashima, please let Lucy and natsu be canon before the end of 100 year quest
I can see why people would be unhappy with this BUT I can also see fans being happy seeing their favorite characters staying around longer.
Fun to see an Author that doesn’t want to day goodbye to his characters anytime soon, and creative enough to come with new ideas for its world, that comment he gave recently about how the characters were made so focused on frienship because he lacked it in real life comes to mind
When you realize that his purpose for creating this was to help comfort his loneliness as someone who didn’t have any friends, I can’t blame him for not wanting to end the series, it clearly provides him some serious comfort creating the series
The mangaka’s decision had fans divided. Others, however, appreciated it considering the backstory of the series. Mashima’s faith and love for his series just show how much of an underappreciated gem it truly is.
Hiro Mashima’s series remains an underappreciated gem
Hiro Mashimais celebrated and loved as one of the finest mangaka in the shonen genre. His series stands out from other contemporaries in most aspects. But especially through its well-written female characters.
The adventure, friendships, community, and magic are blended perfectly into the series. What’s even more interesting is the author’s understanding of loneliness.
Apart from Kishimoto, Mashima brings out the aspect of community perfectly. Through his emphasis on solidarity and shared struggles the series stands as a reminder. Interestingly, the mangaka’spersonal experiencemakes it impeccable.

After almost two decades the series continues to stay relevant. For the most part, its reflection on journeys and life struggles is what sets it apart. All in all, it is truly an underrated and underappreciated gem.
Fairy Tailis available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The manga is available for reading on Viz Media.
