It was to laugh that I said that XD although I would not mind someone doing a high school spin off on FT.

Besides, he said that "" "humor will be a challenge" ".

How should we take the meaning of this sentence? In good French it could mean that the theme will be dark and so difficult to laugh.

A dark hero who thanks to the heroine will go to the light.

Haru = normal person.

Natsu = idiot.

elie = simple.

Lucy = normal / intelligent person.

So to see.

For these designs, he seems to keep the heads of haru / natsu and elie / lucy, which is not disturbing in itself.
Hiro already did this with that the high school omake and if he already did it it’s not going to happen again. Well if Mashima’s new series is a dark series then hard to do any jokes and it’s not uncommon for a mangaka to reuse character designs for their newer series.

Oh wow, the new main character is Haru again, but this time with long hair and hopefully with an original power.
Oh yeah, and another Elie clon as the protagonist´s waifu

Mashima, you sure love to make the same desing over and over again.
I already can see the final bad guy being another Lucia clon, just as Acnologia.
Dude it's just rough sketches and they look pretty different from all those.

Still a bit confused at all the projects. Are we getting a sequel, a spinoff, and a new series?
He confirmed a spin-off and new series. Not sure about sequel.

I don't think Lucy can eat all that ice cream. Maybe Natsu gets it after Lucy finishes what she can eat :)

A sequel has been confirmed along with the spin off and the new series. Well Lucy doesn’t have a big appetite so it makes sense that Natsu eats the rest of her ice cream.

No they don't, they look quite similar...
Also, Mashima´s previous main characters all looks the same, so why would him make something different now?
Also that new girl looks like Lucy

the new characters looks like Natsu and Lucy with different hair style lol
That’s to be expected since Hiro does reuse character designs so in other words these characters are the new Lucy and Natsu.

Yeah! I wonder if Mashima will use Jellal in his next manga as well.

Soo what’s the problem with the new characters being like Natsu and Lucy? Did people expect something different?

Monster Hunter


Looks like Natsu and Lucy.

She really looks like Lucy here.

Basically:
Sayaka being a Wendy and Lucy cross.

And Irie being a Lucy/Erza cross

Monster Soul

Mamii and Tauron


Really I have always thought Mami looked like a blonde Erza/Lucy mix and Toursn looks like a Wendy/Lucy mix.

Elle of Fairy Tale One Shot

Looks like Elle with Lucy’s expressions

Mavis of FT Zero and Lucy of FT

Ditto

Elle and Lucy




The only one where it was different was Star biter Satsuki where the main character was a Wendy and Erza cross....


Yeah! I wonder if Mashima will use Jellal in his next manga as well.

Monster Hunter also had a SiegHart/Jellal style Character. So probably will have a version of this

This is already his fourth series, and he is still using the same designs.
Also the problem is that no only that he use designs, but that he also reuse things from his other series all the time, that shows how unoriginal Mashima really is.

As well as he's aware everybody enjoys finding ng references .

I actually support them being similar to Natsu and Lucy. But most likely that mean we will get the rest of the cast like that as well which i frankly don't support.

One thing is a reference, a totally diferent thing is reusing stuff from you other story.

Fairy Tail for example had some references, like that play where Erza and Wendy recreated Rave Master, Jerall being a less cool and lees interesting version of Sieghart is not a reference.
Acnologia being pretty much a water down version of Lucia is not a reference, the same thing can be said about Plue, Eterhion, time travel subplots, etc etc
Rave's ideas that Mashima reused poorly en FT.

The design of the characters is very interesting, Mashima is obviously using references from his previous works. But that is common for the Japanese Mangakas, many of them use very similar designs because in the end, they are their creations and they work with a peculiar style.

The original design for the protagonists, the design of Jellal and the existence of Plue are marks of Mashima, so to see them should not be strange.

I hope to see what it generated, after all he said he wanted to create new characters.

With the image of Natsu and Lucy eating ice cream I love it, hopefully follow Mashima creating more that fit very well.

The fact you think Acno and Lucia are the same prices you don't actually know what you're talking about .


Jellal and Sieg act nothing alike and don't even have similar back stories .


I want it to be that there's always a version of Jellal/Sieg in his stories and that they're all the same person , just in an alternate universe

In that you are absolutely right, there are references to the characters, but they are not clones of other previous stories, but there are, as you will have learned, people who not only do not realize, but seem to believe that the simple fact that a author makes mentions to previous works is bad, when it is only part of their ways of working and give a gift to previous fans, therefore there is nothing wrong with those winks.

Mashima although he uses very similar the designs of his protagonists, his background story is different as well as the versions of Jellal or Sieghart.

It's not a spin-off and a sequel is just one spinoff that is also a sequel. The translation is a little strange though.
From April 5:
フェアリーテイル本編の続編にあたるスピンオフの漫画ともう一本別のスピンオフ漫画の制作が決定しました。
We decided to produce another spin-off comic book with spin-off comics that is a sequel to Fairy Tale main story.
