A new addition to GW’s growing manga collection - Fairy Tail volume 1
Hop on for a magical journey with some fantastical wizards and whimsical illustrations. Fairy Tail is a guild, a wizard guild. It is comprised of wizards that use their powers to help people - usually for the right price or sometimes just to save a friend in need. Missions can get pretty dangerous. The guild’s purpose is to assist and protect each other when necessary. Sounds simple, except for all the drama and politics that make it just the opposite.
Natsu, a fire eating wizard, is a member of the Fairy Tail Guild. Readers follow his adventures of saving wizards, wreaking havoc, and making new friends. One of these new friends is Lucy, a celestial wizard. She is seriously dying to get into Fairy Tail! When she gets her first taste of that life, she soon learns what being a member of Fairy Tail really means.
Manga readers and those looking for a good adventure story will love these kooky characters, their backstories, and their personal motives.
“Fairy Tail is really a mess of a guild. But it’s fun, and the people are warm and kind (page 168).”
