Gray is constantly fan service and no one complains.

Gray is not my favourite character(though I like his ice magic) so I don't bother if he is used like that .It's upto devout Gray fans to feel sad for it(cough @Emperor Spriggan cough).

But Lucy is my favourite character along with Natsu,so it pains me in seeing her for Fan service roles.

 

[strikefreedom]

Mashima always said that lucy and erza were her favorite female characters.

That if erza, lucy, and the other girls had strong character, it is because he knows only strong women.

To lucy he had said that it is the one that resembles him the most character level.

Nothing to see but or can t we found the after story of the fairy bath and Christmas?

 

[Winterliebend]

The problem with Lucys fanservice is Hiro always used it in wrong situations. For example when Zirconis stripped Lucy out of her clothes with his dragon roar. It completly destroyed the tense and dark situation which happend again and again in her battles.

I don't mind though if it happens during hot springs, swimsuit contest or omakes since it's expected to happen in these moments.

Gray also has his fanservice moments but they don't overshadow his battles and destroy the atmosphere of it.

 

[Angiecakes1990]

same I hate how Hiro used Lucy as a plot for fanservice shes one of my favs and still is and not only her Erza too.

I know Gray is a fanservice for the ladies but Natsu is my fanservice

1. Gray & Juvia postcard, present for visitors of exhibition. I've put a lot of effort in this one. It's color picture I drew during their talk just published in the volume.
2. Cover of chapter 312 from WSM issue 4-5/2013. It's just misapprehension, but it looks like Gajeel put his arm on Juvia's head...
3. Cover of chapter 443 from WSM issue 32/2015. Probably just wanted to draw bottoms. Yeah, that's it.
4. Cover of chapter 435 from WSM issue 27/2015. I have a lot of favourite solo pictures of Juvia and this is one of them.
5. Cover of chapter 508 from WSM issue 49/2016. A theme of the chapter was "pleasure", so I wanted to draw something pleasurable, but it was too erotic and couldn't be published in the magazine for boys, so I had to redraw it. 4 times.
6. Cover of chapter 382 from WSM issue 22/2014. Picture in Snow White style. Now that I look at it, Gray's shape is awful.
7. Cover of volume 46. It's dark... I need to remember, that it's magazine for boys.
8. Cover of volume 45. I didn't intend to draw it so erotic, but it turned like this. I like it.
9. Cover of omake "Natsu and Asuka" from Monthly Shonen Magazine issue 5/2014. Color cover of my first work published in Monthly Magazine. Now that I look at it, poses are bit odd, please forgive me.
10. Picture from endpaper of volume 46. New clothing, I like it.
11. Cover of light novel "Fairy Tail 3: Trouble Twins". I remember I had hardships with twins' design.
12. Natsu & Lucy postcard, present for visitors of exhibition. Autumn viewing the moon. To be honest, I redrew this picture three times. I was indecisive about sense of distance between these two and drew many strange pictures.

gee I'm sure alot of people would be curious about the original picture HIro draw for number 5 lol I thought a wet tshirt was pretty erotic

Volume 46 was legit a perfect volume cover. It gave off the dark vibes from Tartaros, showed the key figures of the volume without being too spoilery, got the emotions displayed perfectly with Juvia's face and Silver's, even the symmetry where the characters were placed was on point. Literally one of the best volume covers and I'm not even a Gray or Juvia fan. I also dig Juvia's Avatar/Alvarez clothes, lowkey would of never thought green would fit her.

Re-publication of FT? I guess not one chapter per issue.

If it's not re-publication of Fairy Tail then what could it be? The only other thing I can think of is an extra chapter about the 100 Year Quest that will be included in volume 63.

It IS re-publication of FT, from 1st chapter, I'm just surprised they decided to do this, it's not something I'd expect.

That is surprising and are they doing one chapter per issue or not? I guess this is one of the projects Mashima was talking about.

 

[Linali]

are they doing one chapter per issue or not?

First chapter is around 80 pages long, so we need to wait for regular lenght chapters to know for sure, but I doubt it's one per issue, why would they spend 11 years with the same series again if they can re-published this fast and start publishing something new?

I think I understand why they're doing this. It'll be a way to advertise the anime and other FT events/projects without it feeling too random. In the coming months we'll get visuals of the character designs, voice actors, music selections etc and I'm guessing by reposting large number of FT pages they can tie it all together. Makes me think the anime will launch in January

Wait what does that mean? Like FT is gonna start all over or something?

 

[Arjuna]

Is there any possibility of reforming the Alvarez Arc,END part and the last chapter in the republication of FT?

If he can improve on that front.Then it will be like Fate universe where stories vary in multiple universes.

I found the RAW but it seems that it is incomplete and of low quality, since it lacks the summary ... I hope someone gets it right to see what that information is.

In short, we must see if there is more information
