Fairy Tail #7

Hiro Mashima packs this seventh volume of Fairy Tail with a striking ensemble cover — a towering, cloaked figure in green and black looms over the group, while Natsu and several colorful companions push forward in a burst of energy and attitude. The mix of menace from above and defiance below gives the image a real sense of escalating stakes, perfectly capturing the adventurous spirit that has made this series a staple of shonen manga. A great pickup for anyone following the Fairy Tail guild's ever-growing roster of rivals and allies.
