Fairy Tail Zero

Fairy Tail Zero is honestly such an improvement on the main series, it's crazy to see how well Mashima Hiro can actually write. Although FT has a special place in my heart, it's mostly just annoying plotline after annoying plotline, with the actually good ones being overshadowed by the overbearing amount of ecchi. There's a lot of problems with FT's storytelling, but the vast majority of them are absent within FT Zero. The characters are fun, the art is beautiful, and the story is downright heartbreaking. Mashima's storytelling really improves in these story stories where he doesn't have the time to load them with boring plotarmour and titties. Hope to see more of this from him in the future. It really was a surprise to find this to be so good considering his two most recent works.

the single volume that explains the birth of the Fairy Tail guild from its first master: Mavis Vermillion!! The girl who lives on Tenro Island with a sad story and with the hope that she will find a fairy one day. Her curiosity meets the desire to search for artifacts and ancient and magical objects from three elements of the caliber of YURI DREYAR, PUREHITO GAEBOLG and WARROD SEQUEN, three treasure hunters who have come to Tenro Island to find the celestial wolf gem. I personally liked seeing the plot device for which Mavis performs the Fairy Law specially taught by Zeref and why shedoesn't grow. The author has scattered the story with clues, for the ending, but I think they are a bit too many, so much so that I got there in three or four chapters, however, a nice ending for a character who from the first appearance I thought "hmm, nice character" hoping who doesn't tear her apart like other characters in the series. Also in this spin-off the strong theme is the family. For the drawing there is nothing to say only because they are personal opinions, for example I like this cartoon style (although I preferred the style of Rave) but if you compare Mashima and another mangaka it is obvious that the style of Mashima cali. The mark I give to the story is 8 while for the drawing it is 7.
