@Neo-jplaya: No, that’s a false rumor. At the beginning of Rave, the art style didn’t look like One Piece at all. He changes his style alot during Rave and it wasn’t until tha last part that it started to look like One Piece.

Personally I think Fairy Tail is doing great. I think Mashima is generally better at drawing stuff, while Oda is superior with design and original ideas.

Yeh it looks alot like one piece and also some of the fairy tail members look alot like characters from other mangas. Natsu looks like luffy, Gray looks like Sasuke, Loki looks like Ichigo and the other guy looks like Franky.

Shaman King’s author: Takei Hiroyuki
Kenshin’s author: Watsuki Nobuhiro

Yeah the art of the current OP is definitely better than RAVE and Fairy Tail. I would say that Mashima’s art for those 2 mangas seems to be like the early OP art, between the starting to Arlong Park.

It’s also interesting how fast you meet all the important members of the Fairy Tail guild in the first few chapters instead of usual shounen practice of gathering team-mates as the series goes on.

Interesting fact: Both Shaman King’s author (whose name I forgot) and Oda worked for Kenshin’s author (whose name I also forgot).

I initially thought that RAVE’s artwork looked a lot like One Piece, but the current OP style is very distinctive and nothing like Mashima’s. I like both, but it’s easy to say that OP’s is far superior.

I’ve been following Fairytail, and so far it’s prettty interesting. I’d like to see how Mashima handle the major nemeses of this series, since RAVE kinda fudged those.

Yeah his art is really similar to Oda but it still retains a tiny bit of distinctiveness I guess, in the bad way because I think the current art of One Piece is more refined and detailed.

I’ve read 16 chapters of Fairy Tail and I can’t really say that it is any way similar to RAVE. The story is different, the world is different, the fighting is different, the way the characters act are different.

The only thing in common at the moment is Plue who is the exact same Plue from RAVE surprisingly. Well and I guess the artwork is the same of RAVE but that’s to be expected when a mangaka does a sequel.

I dunno it looks exactly like a mix of Rave and one of his earlier manga short stories in Mashimaen (I coulda sworn he had one called Fairy TAIL in that one too. Or maybe it was fairy TALE.)

I dont like how Mashima Hiro’s art style molded into the One Piece one. His art style like between Rave volumes 5-12 was really good then as the manga went on it went back into that annoying One Piece style.

I also love how he named his main character “Summer” (Natsu) while in Rave we had “spring” (Haru). I dunno it just doesn’t strike me as anything different from Rave, girl guy + goofy looking sidekick and I don’t need to spend another X amount of dollars on another 36 volume series. I got my hands full with Naruto.

Jooo: Get cracking!

Black-Chan: Yeah Fairy Tail does look a lot like the early One Piece. And RAVE also looks a lot like One Piece, so I wonder if Hiro Mashima worked for Oda before or they had the same sensei.
