    I agree. Fairy Tail is my absolute favorite manga! The artwork is fantastic, and Mr. Mashima is such an inspiration to me.

    I first picked up Fairy Tail about a month after the first volume was released after I saw that Hiro Mashima was the creator. I’ve picked up every volume since. My absolute favorite part of this series is how he keeps throwing in nods from Rave Master. I get a laugh out of every new reference he throws in.

    Really loved this volume. Amazin drawings by Mashima-sensei, as always.

    I always love to read Fairy Tail while listening to the Fairy Tail anime soundtrack. Anyone else that does that? Anyway, I am very much looking forward to reading the next arc. As that will be my favorite one. <3

      You’re far from being the only one I guess x) The anime is as marvelous as the original manga is, and its soundtrack never disapointed me. ^^ I can’t wait for the next arc either. Just to see Juvia kick some Dark Guilds butts!

    I can’t wait for this volume to come out. I’ve been following fairy tail since its first couple of chapters. The arc that this volume is currently in is by far my most favorite arc in Fairy Tail.

    I found this series by accident and i must say it was one of my best surprises ever. i just think of when will the next manga come out. :D

    Spoiler alert… read at your own responsibility

    About this volume… at first the edolas saga may seem a little boring (i know i´ve thought so), but after some thought and analysis i realize that i was wrong and why you may ask… because this series is the mark that begins the mature process of Happy, the character that on the other series is the cheerfull one and ends up not standing that much of a difference in a balance (i mean if happy werent there what saga would not have been ended well) (take no offense Happy fans i´m on myself:)).

    In this volume specifically, we came to the climax part of that amazing saga that is edolas,

    We have important moments like the waking up of the exceeds, the encounter of Happy with Natsu, the story behind Mystogan (Should i have adressed him as his majesty?), the joining up of the 3 dragon slayers on a combination far behond our imagination the erza vs erza fight and finnaly the prince resolution for the soon to become no magic realm… all this ingredients could create nothing more that one of the best volumes of the saga (oh yeah we see Igneel wich is awesome to XD).

    I really love Fairy tail,

    Everyday for me is really rough, I don’t have a lot of friends and coming home from a hard day at school, and reading Fairy Tail brightens up my day :)

    I love the art and it inspires me to draw better.

    Volume 23 has such an amazing cover. I read through it at a shop (but didn’t have money at the time) and the fights were in it, which I always found Fairy Tail done nicely. The Dragon Slayers fighting is just downright awesome and a certain S-Class Mage I won’t mention!

    Mashima-sensei never disappoints with his art style or his amazing storytelling talents. This volume was just packed with some of the best moments of the Edolas arc and I enjoyed every bit of it! I’m really looking forward to the next volume and the beginning of one of my favorite arcs of the series :)

    I´ve been hearing so much about this serie so i decided to try and read some manga…and it proved to be one of the most interesting sagas i´ve ever laid my eyes upon specially this edolas saga since it is a very distinct and different world from the one Hiro Mashima got us used to.
    In this volume specifically there was nothing i have to complain, althought if you asked me what was my favoite part i´d say the 3 to 1 battle. :D

    Can’t wait for Vol 24! (LOVE the cover) I think the Edolas arc is my second favorite arc in the series. The art style and fight scenes were some of the best up until now. Mashima-sensei rarely disappoints!!!

    I’m practically in love with this volume, oh where to begin? The cover’s a real eye catcher not only because of the dynamic poses but also because of the color usage. For instance, the blend between Natsu’s hand and flame merges so well. The vast amount of purple and blue really contrasts with Natsu overall. As for the manga, Mashima’s shading has really evolved since volume 1 which empasizes how the title has grown. I’m also really impressed with how you guys were able to adapt the sound effects with the original Japanese text. I can’t wait to read the next arc! Also, thank you for including for including the index on which chapters appear in Weekly Shonen Magazine, I’m an avid collector for the original magazines. Also, since there are several Rave references, perhaps one day you guys could republish the volumes or start a collection of omnibuses. Furthermore, here’s to seeing where Fairy Tail will go next, it’s clear that there’s no sign of this series slowing down!

    seeing questions and answers each volume makes me wonder, can we send letters to mashima-sensei and have them included in the question and answer (if they’re good enough questions)??

    either way he is so hard working! conclusion of Edolas also really good, better than the slowish start. Next volume cover looks amazing (if its the one on te main site), very excited!

    It was one of my classmates, who introduced me to Fairy Tail, and i’m so gratefull for it. It’s the best manga i’ve ever read, and i’m always looking forward to reading it. I love how they all get along in the guild, and how they fight for each other!

    Fairy tail has been one of the best manga that I like and gives me interest of reading and reread.
    Edolas is an example that awakes my interest, for being a very good saga due to the fantastic world that presents, full of adventures, discoveries and battle that exist there..
