Lucy is a seventeen-year-old mage with the power to summon stellar spirits, but what she really wants to do is join a guild - and not just any guild. She has her eyes set on Fairy Tail, a notoriously reckless and outrageous group of magic users who are likely to be drunk or destroying buildings and towns in the process of completing a job! While in town one day Lucy meets a perpetually-seasick boy named Natsu who, through a series of events, reveals to her that he's none other than the fire-eating mage Salamander of Fairy Tail! Lucy is finally able to join Fairy Tail and quickly begins to take on odd jobs with Natsu and his gang for fame and profit. Along with her fiery friend, Happy the flying cat, Natsu's archrival Gray and their overseer the invincible and beautiful Ezra, Lucy sets forth for epic adventures that leave an epic amount of destruction in their wake. After all, destroying a city or five doesn't matter as long as they get the job done... right?!
Buster Keel! and Fairy Tale are a lot alike in the main characters. Natsu solves his problems with fists and that's just how Keel likes to do it. Keel is a monster type with a heated temper and can summon about a fourth of his powers in order to destroy the opponent. Natsu is similar in that he gets angry and can summons his power destroy the opponent. Both early on formed a group of friends with each others weakness as there strength. Though just like Natsu, Keel also has a friend-hate relationship with a person in his group.
Another resemblance is that the girls who join the group in each manga are very much alike. Their powers are similar and each has that happy attitude that we all love so much.
Action-packed manga with tons of enemies and fight scenes. If you haven't read these 2 manga yet, well then I think you should be doing that right now.
If your a fan of Fairy Tail or Buster Keel it is highly likely you'll love the other. Once reading a few chapters of either series striking similarites in the plot, characters and development, artwork and dialouge start to emerge.The comedy in both series are almost identical.
1. The strong-dragon-like-idiotic-hero meets pretty blond magic user and her cute companion.
2. The three embark on a journey and meet ice/water melee user.
3. Form party and the ARCH NEMISIS APPEARS.
Sound familiar? Both series follow to this plot outline, even down to the tatoo on the protagonist's arm.
Guaranteed, if you liked one series you'll love the other.
Haru Glory lives peacefully on Garage Island with his sister. One day, Haru fishes a strange dog-like creature named Plue out of the ocean, and soon after meets its master, an old man named Shiba. With this man comes terrible news: the world is in peril, for the evil organization Demon Card is attempting to conquer it with power-giving stones known as Dark Bring. To combat this threat Shiba has spent much of his life fighting back with Rave, a Holy Bring; and the Ten Commandments, a sword it powers. When members of Demon Card arrive at the island, Shiba discovers that Rave and the Ten Commandments will now only respond to Haru, making the young boy the new Rave Master. Armed with newfound power, Haru and Plue set forth to put a stop to Demon Card.
Both Buster Keel and Rave Master feel very much alike, almost as though they were the same series (or at least sequels). The artwork and character designs (especially of the main characters) is extremely similar, as are many of the characters' personalities. The types of adventures involved in each series & the way those adventures unfold is very similar as well. Even the fact that both involve a lot of music/musical references is the same. If you enjoyed either of these series, you will definitely enjoy the other.
