Fairy Tail #25

Volume 25 of Hiro Mashima's beloved fantasy series puts a striking blue-skinned, white-caped figure front and center, flanked by a determined Natsu and a combat-ready Gajeel poised for a fight. Rounding out the scene is a wonderfully offbeat samurai-armored rooster, hinting at the imaginative mix of intensity and humor that keeps Fairy Tail so endearing. It's a vivid snapshot of the series at full stride, with Mashima's dynamic character designs on full display.
