The story of Fairy Tail focuses on the adventures of the main characters Natsu and Lucy, who are sometimes accompanied by the members of the Fairy Tail Guild.

The story begins with a young sorceress Lucy, and her ambition to join the magical Fairy Tail Guild. On her journey she encounters Natsu, a young boy, who is looking for Igneel the Salamander. After a brief adventure she offers him lunch and Natsu explains that Igneel is a dragon while Lucy talks about her dreams to join the Fairy Tail Guild. Shortly afterwards, she is tricked and abducted by Bora of Prominence, who was posing as Salamander of Fairy Tail, to be sold as a slave. She is rescued by Natsu, who is revealed as Salamander and a true member of Fairy Tail Guild. He offers her membership into the guild, and Lucy gladly accepts. From that point on Natsu and Lucy form a team. Thus begins their adventures as they perform missions for the Fairy Tail guild.

In the Fairy Tail universe, some people are gifted with the ability to use magic and with this come powers far beyond those of normal people. This society of wizards and sorcerers align themselves to different Magical Guilds where they are assigned paid missions.

The guild system is governed by the Magic Council who monitor the actions of the guilds. Guilds which contravene the Magic Council's laws are declared as Dark Guilds. Dark guilds are those groups which have committed crimes against society or have accepted missions of questionable morality, such as accepting assassination requests. In the Fairy Tail world the official currency is the Jewel (ジュエル Jueru) and its symbol is a "J".

So far, all of the action takes place in the land of Fiore. The land of Fiore is where the Fairy Tail Guild is located, as well as the Magic Council and other places visited by the main characters. The Time, as suggested in chapter 66, is Year 784. The Fairy Tail universe appears to have certain connections to Hiro Mashima's previous manga, Rave Master, such as Lucy being able to summon the odd dog-like creature, Plue and recent chapters have mentioned the Atherion.

I'm a fan of Fairy Tail. Natsu is a badass. He'll put Luxus in his place pretty soon. Pretty slow paced right now, but I'll stick it out at least until the dragon arc (which is prolly going to be the last or second to last arc).

well the Erza arc was a letdown imo , looks like Dragon ball when natsu suddenly became strong

The fight for Fairy Tail arc looks promising so far. I mean you finally get to see Mistgun fight, hopefully.

yeah mist gun is the coolest character but he is really shy. i thought he is using guns but its 5 staff!!

i want to see who he is "another" of, and what guild luxus' father founded and who leads the guild if what that polyushka woman (the one who fixed erza's eye) comes true.

that would suck if the master died.

yeah, but he is old, and it would open the way for some interesting story development. and it would hbe OK cause ever since rave was unsuspended i still have another manga to read if i get bored of it. not that that would happen anyways.

So far, one of the best fantasy manga I have ever read, and as for the current arc, I hope Luxus gets what he truly deserves.

Also, it would be very great if Fairy Tail gets adapted into an anime (and at least adapted the entire series, and not just 26 episodes).

i think luxus is will be a nakama in the future and the guild master is dying and may be the cause of his change.

i also hope that it will turn into anime. this manga is so good. i wonder why it dosent have a anime.

Fairy Tail the Anime I would like that almost as much as much as a good Negima Anime

I've actually started reading this one recently

Good choice Ras. This has Anime potential, and is pretty good. Anime could also lead to a video game, if they wanted to. It would be a good game idea as well.

Anime has been announced

woot sweet. it really deserve a anime!

HOORAY! ANIME! also, recent chapter. Looks like Lucy's gonna get a HUGE power up 3 Golden Keys ftw!

Giving her:

1. Aquarious (who might be nicer when Scorpio contracts with Lucy.)
2. Taurus
3. Cancer
4. Virgo
5. Sagittarious
6. Leo (a.k.a. Loke)
7. Gemini
8. Scorpio
and 9. Aries

Aries is pretty much a guarantee after this fight.

Smack the b*tch down, lucy!!
