Why does
@Sky never campaign for his nominees?
While I just let the question hang there, allow me to say a few words on Fairy Tail's behalf. The first word is, of course, Erza...
...nuff said.
Now let me go on to say that Fairy Tail as a whole is perhaps one of the most consistently fun battle manga ever made. What it lakes it depth it more than makes up for in it's joyous approach to adventure. And that's really what it's about. Delivering heroic adventures and putting smiles on it's reader's faces. And it did that over and over more consistently than almost any other long running manga series I've read.
Now I know there are a lot of haters of Fairy Tail out there. It wasn't always perfect. But I can easily think back to a dozen moments where it's brand of heroism was powerful enough that I can still remember it to this day. Natsu beating Jellal to save Erza, Makarov using Fairy Law for the first time. These moments are what made Fairy Tail as a series worth experiencing and worth remembering. And something I'm happy to vote for.
