Hiro Mashima's Playground

Mashima-en is a collection of one-shots made by Hiro mashima, author of fairy tail, explaining the title. Story: 7 Since it was a collection of short stories, some where better than others. They are all fantasy related, and most of them have a touch of romance. Overall, I give it a 7. Art:8 All the one-shots were collected throughout the career of the mangaka, and you can see his style evolve in the different stories, so it the art may seem inconsistent. Some had a great graphical qualities, while others didn't seem just as good. Character:7 The characters didn't have a great developpement, since they didn't get a lotof time. But they were all really likeable and funny, and most had their own personnalities. Enjoyment: 9 This book was very entertaining, great humour that you can also find in mashima's other works. Overall:8 I recommend this book to anyone who likes shonen, romance, fantasy, and even comedy, as its very short and quick to read.
