Hiro Mashima Confesses That Fairy Tail Was Born Out of His 'Loneliness'
🌟 Hiro Mashima, creator of the beloved series Fairy Tail, revealed at New York Comic Con that his widely celebrated story of friendship was actually born from his own loneliness. Later, he mentioned that the Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest sequel was more of a "corporate" idea, but he still takes pride in developing its story and surprising even its illustrator, Atsuo Ueda. The anime adaptation of this sequel, produced by J.C. Staff, premiered in July 2024. 🚀
Mashima has charmed fans during his visits to New York Comic Con with drawings and praise for Dragon Ball as one of his inspirations. Although a fan-asked question about a return of Rave Master was met with hesitation, he shared excitement about the "edgy" projects he's working on like DEAD ROCK. 🎨 He also clarified that his crossover work, Mashima's Heroes, doesn’t indicate a shared universe but appreciates when readers find connections between his series. 🌍
During the panel, Mashima expressed gratitude for the global success and support of Fairy Tail, sharing that the series' theme of friendship has helped many fans connect on a deeper level. He emphasized the importance of empathy and being receptive to the world as an artist. "Instead of just continuing on the technical aspect, get out in the world," Mashima encouraged. 🌱
