    Natsu is actually one of the smarter Shonen protagonists.

    Also I have an annoying habit of predicting the plot twists in this manga but never bothering to post them. I totally recall thinking to myself, "I wonder how a poison dragon would work?" and now, this.

    Yeah, but what shonen isn't about that, right?
    One Piece is all about goals and dreams, having friends to support you is incidental.

    Fairy Tail is more: Having a posse and living life and depending on each other no matter what happens, so is much more nakama focused than One Piece.

    It's true, but the more I read Fairy Tail the more I see the differences in art style.


    And I think Natsu has much more in common with Black*Star than Luffy.

    Well I guess one thing in his favor is that he already had a whole manga on his resume before he started Fairy Tail, so he's proven he can write at least. Though I've never read Rave master so i have no idea how good it actually is.

    Good chapter.

    The battle between Natsu and Cobra is cool and fun and we get a twist to it that I didn't see coming. Dragon slayers never seem to be the big bad of any group, not counting Luxus since he's not a real dragon slayer.

    So Midnight IS a girl. Or did these translators get something wrong? Because everybody else has refered to Midnight as a male.

    Overall, a good chapter.

    As for the One Piece vs. Fairy Tail thing. The main similarities are the art style, there's a reason why we thought Hiroshima was Oda's assistent at first, and Natsu being similar to Ruffy in several ways.

    Beyond that they're pretty different in my eyes. Fairy Tail is among other things more character driven than event driven like One Piece.

    Eh, the chapter was okay this week. Save for the whole revelation of the underground city, and the Cobra vs Natsu fight, it was nothing special.

    Translators got it wrong, according to people on Animesuki.

    Heh i saw the cover, read the synopsis it was like when you first read OP. Deja Vu.

    I read the artist connection to Oda.

    If its half as fun as OP is then i will be fine with it.

    The artist really has no connection to Oda other than inspiration from the same source.

    Doesnt matter really, the story,characters is the most important thing. Even the best shonen series sound the same.

    Its a good thing its licensed, i need new manga books to read.
