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?!
The legendary pirate Gol D. Roger was hanged long ago, but not before revealing that he had left the greatest treasure ever known, One Piece, for any man brave enough to get it. This proclamation ushered in the Golden Age of Pirates, a time when countless pirates vie for the title of Pirate King. One child, Monkey D. Luffy, has been announcing his intentions to take this title for as long as anyone can remember. After eating the gum-gum devil fruit, giving him the ability to stretch his body like rubber at the expense of being able to swim, he begins gathering a crew. Each new member has their own dream to fulfill in the mysterious ocean know as the Grand Line, and are united by Luffy's determination and loyalty.
Fairy Tail and One Piece resemble each other in a lot of ways. They both focus heavily on friendship and how emotions for those you love can give that extra 10% you need to beat your opponent. One of the main characters in Fairy Tail, Natsu, also reminds me of Monkey D. Ruffy in a lot of sutuations. If you've only read one of them give the other one a try.
There characters are very similar and the plot and pacing can give you a feeling of deja vu at times.
Where are Fairy Tale and One Piece not similar. Luffy and Natsu both have remarkable power and take every challenge head on. They both are happy go-lucky guys who are optimistic about everything. When both mangas started out, both characters were without close friends but as the story went on, they gradually started to form a group of unbeatable friends with all sorts of powers.
Though the story's may differ, the atmosphere one gets from reading about how both Natsu and Luffy take on hardships is almost inspirational. The battles are intense and just freaking powerful. Each page is suspenseful in both mangas and everyone should jump aboard with Natsu and Luffy's adventure.
In the ancient past, a highly-intelligent and technologically-advanced civilization was pushed to extinction, leaving behind relics known as O-Parts. These mysterious items are only usable by a select type of beings known as O-Parts Tacticians, and give their users powerful abilities. Jio is a boy who, as a child, was driven out of his village after being accused of killing his best friend Jin's parents. Since then, he underwent training with a lone wolf named Zero and now is on a quest to conquer the world! One day, Jin runs across a girl and saves her from a monster. Her name is Ruby Crescent, and she's a treasure hunter in search of O-Parts. Together, the two travel the land, encountering fierce organizations, old enemies and new friends. But more importantly, they slowly learn more about their pasts, including the discovery that Jin harbors a dark secret: he holds within him the power of Satan, the ultimate evil!
Admittedly, Fairy Tail and O-Parts Hunter don't have much in common, plot-wise. But both are very similar shounen titles with a hefty sense of adventure and tons of action. They both read very quickly and will definitely appeal to the same audience!
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.
