The Friendship in Fairy Tail

Friends mean a lot to us, we cannot fulfill our goals without the support of friends. In Fairy Tail, we gain a deep insight into the word “friendship”. One connot live without friends, one cannot defeat the enemy without friends. Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Elza, Happy etc, they build a strong relationship with each other, although they are obsessed with messing around, this is just their way to show their happiness and would like to be with friends.

Fear is not evil, it is ok to know your own weakness, because once people know their weakness they will become strong and gentle. And with the help of friends you will become strong and have the willing to protect your friends. This is the root of your power, for example, Natsu become stronger and are more likely to defeat the enemy when his friends in trouble. So, to some extent your friends are your weakness as well as your strength.You have to become stronger, stand up and fight for your friends. This is the friendship that Fairy Tail convey to us.

They Are Born To Be Together

I want to list some characters in anime who are born to be together, but not the boys and girls couple, the boys and boys couple. These characters are not from the yaoi manga, most of them from shounen manga. Okay, let’s get straight into the point, the first ‘ they are born to be together ’ came to my mind is Levi and Eren from Attact on Titan, i actually don’t know why people ship them together but they look pretty match, don’t feel weird at all. It seems like in yaoi world, one should be like Levi, strong(not refer to the height of course), silence, look inexorability from the appearance, seldom express his inner world, other should be like Eren, kind, full of passion and energy, honest and show respect to Levi. Their personality could compensate for each other.

However, there are also some characters, who cannot work or match with each other, but fans still ship them together, although they show they don’t care about the each other, one classic example is Gintoki Sakata and Toshiro Hijikata from Gintama. I forgot which episode, they two take bath together and I cannot stop laughing. Although they looks like don’t care about each other, they actually not. They just don’t know how to express their emotion and fear to admit they take other seriously. This kind of relations are more worthy reading than some yaoi manga that packed with sex but do not have attractive content.

Shounen Manga

Shounen manga aims to male audience between the age of 10 to 18, but actually the readers of shounen manga are far more than the age between 10 and 18, some females also big fans of shounen manga.Gintoki, a character from Gin Tama is a big fan of Shounen manga, reading shonen jump is an indispensable part of his life, although he is almost 30 years old.

Fairy Tail is a typical shounen manga, including all elements of shounen manga, high-action characters, such as Natsu, hilarious plots, fierce fighting scene, and sometime need a touching conversation to spice up the story. These standard elements consist of a worth-watching shounen manga. Some readers are attracted by the personality of protagonists, some are attracted by the touching and unexpected plots, some are attracted by the fighting scene. This is why almost every shounen manga is popular when it come out at the first time. For example, Fairy Tail, the art of Fairy Tail is similar with the One Piece, literally readers do not like reading the manga with similar art because it is easy to get bored. However, Fairy Tail become popular and earns hundreds of thousands of fans, which is beyond the expectation of the writer.

A Hilarious Yaoi Mangaka

Hi there, it’s time to talk about our weekly topic again, yaoi manga. Last week, i talked about the Japanese Boys Love Awards, and yesterday when i was browsing the web i found an interesting account on tumblr, named Eri, the blogger is a mangaka who is good at drawing yaoi comics, because the blogger likes sports manga, he or she (I guess is she) draws a lot of sport manga in a yaoi way, for example she draws Kuroko no Basket, Free! and Haikyuu!! I post some comics she draws below, every stories cracks me up, especially the Kuroko no Basket and Free! Those comics not only have awesome plot but always give readers a surprise at the end, the blogger seems good at ending story in a hilarious but also sweet way. For example, there is a funny conversation among Haruka, Makoto and Nagisa all three characters from Free! Haruka said his dream is to be a mermaid when he grow up, while Nagisa was going to tell Haru the truth, Makoto disturbed him and said he believe Haru will become a great mermaid one day. I believe this kind of sweet polt can only happened in Yaoi manga.
