I can understand if you want to say both Natsu and Lucy are the main characters, but I don't really see why people would say Lucy is "the" main character over Natsu. Hiro said in the volume 1 notes that the main character was Natsu, and that his original concept for Fairy Tail began with Natsu. This is also a shounen battle manga, and most of the action follows him. Lucy is the narrator. It's like Sherlock Holmes and Watson. We see the story from the POV of Watson, but the plot follows Sherlock.
