Fairy Tail S: Tales from Fairy Tail, Vol. 1
WORK HARD, PLAY HARD For the members of Fairy Tail, a guild member’s work is never done. While they may not always be away on missions, that doesn’t mean our magic-wielding heroes can rest easy at home.

And when a bet after the Grand Magic Games goes sour, can Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza turn the tables in their favor? Come see what a "day in the life" of the strongest guild in Fiore is like in nine wacky short stories!

Anche se è consigliato ad un pubblico adulto (devo dire che c'è qualche scena che potrebbe scandalizzare qualcuno ma suvvia, al giorno d'oggi c'è di peggio solo accendendo la TV...) è un volume di 9 racconti (alcuni già visti in forma di OAV) molto divertenti, fan service a palate, nonsense ovunque.

Cette critique inclue les tomes de Fairy Tail S, + et Zéro.
Donc, après avoir grandement apprécié la série originale et avoir été agréablement surpris par le spin-off “Sides Stories”, j’ai décidé de me procurer 4 autres spin-off. Il y en avait plusieurs, mais j’ai décidé de me tenir loins des spin-off de mauvaise qualité. Je me suis donc concentré sur les spin-off où Mashima lui même a mis la main à la pâte. Donc voici livre pour livres (ou groupe) ce que j’en ai pensé.
Fairy Tail S: Si vous êtes fan du côté plus déjanté et plus bizarre de Fairy Tail vous allez être comblé par ces petites histoires. Les images, les histoire et les personnages sont plus fou que jamais. C’est le recueille parfait pour lire après la série, juste pour en avoir un peu plus avant de dire au revoir à tous ses personnages aussi excentriques les uns que les autres. Pour ma part j’ai beaucoup plus apprécié le premier volume, mais le deuxième ne nous laisse pas sur notre faim. De bonnes histoires en générale même si elle ne sont pas égales.
Fairy Tail +: Un peu comme pour la série S, ce volume se voit un recueille de petites histoires, mais pour en donner plus on a droit à 2 entrevue, un manga bonus avec l’auteur comme personnage principal et un paque de bonus. Les histoires sont très sympathiques et mérites d’être lu. Les entrevu son riches en information et le contenue en général est vraiment bon. Un bon livre bonus pour ceux qui, encore une fois, en veulent un peu plus.
Fairy Tail Zero: Le clou du spectacle. Ce livre nous explique comment la guilde a été créé et en plus nous donne un gros background sur le premier maître ainsi que sa bande de fondateur hors de l’ordinaire. Si ce n’était de tous les clin d’oeils et référence à l’histoire original que ce volume “spoil”, je dirais que ce livre devrait être lu en premier car il est une magnifique entrée en matière. L’histoire est sans faute et à la fin on a juste envie de relire Fairy Tail pour revoir l’histoire avec son background. Un merveilleux spin-off. Des trois que j’ai lu il est de loin supérieur.
Donc c’est pas mal ça. Oui je vais dans le résumé car c’est difficile de s’éterniser sur des petites histoires ou sur un spin-off où il n’y a rien d’autre a dire a part que c’est une chef d’oeuvre à la hauteur de la série. Je me permet tout de même de dire que pour ma part, dans une prochaine relecture, je vais lire la série centrale en premier, suivre avec Side Stories, enchaîner avec Zero et finir avec S et +. De cette manière on a vraiment l’impression d’arriver à une fin et à un vrai au revoir. Oui c’est vrai, la suite appelé “Quête de 100 ans” vient de sortir au japon, quand et si je me la procure, je modifierai au besoin l’ordre de lecture.
En attendant je vais donner 3.5 étoiles pour S et +, puis 5 étoiles pour Zéro. Donc en moyenne 4 étoiles pour cette série de spin-off par Mashima. Ces livres ne changeront rien aux faiblesses et aux critiques de l’oeuvre original, même que dans S on va encore plus loin dans le sexy. Sinon sa reste des histoires sympatiques et je suis content de les avoir dans ma collection. Recommandé aux fan de la série (surtout Zéro).

This book is rated Older Teen for violence, limited nudity, plenty of fanservice (including a little S&M), and the horror of legions of Ichiyas. You have been warned. :)
In a variety ranging from heartfelt to dangerously naughty we get nine short stories from the mind of Hiro Mashima just before the final 2 volumes are coming stateside. I imagine this might be enjoyable for the casual reader but with a cast of epic proportions I can imagine the minute details are there for the fans that have been along for the ride after so many years. I am not going to spoil any of the stories but if you enjoy the regular Fairy Tail books get ready to experience more of the same. :)
If I were to choose a favorite part though I would have to say it is after Erza leaves the Christmas party in one of the stories. I hope things turn out well for her in the end.

Fairy tail stays the best, I loved all these short stories

If you watch the anime, these stories and chapters will be preeetttyyyy familiar as they're all OVA or omake episodes! Obviously the actual episodes are longer and have additional scenes but still. This first volume was a brilliant collection of humour and heartwarming tales. There's also a lot of fan service, just warning you all.
Remember how Makarov told the two GMG teams that whichever one won, could get the other team to do whatever they wanted for a day? Well we get to see some resolution to that and it's hilariously ridiculous. We get to learn some more about certain characters like Cana and Bisca which was nice as they don't get much page time in the main series. Welcome Home Frosch is quite possibly one of my favourite episodes and so you know...it was my favourite chapter of this volume! It was nice to spend some time with the Sabertooth members and it was a cute story. Then we have Fairy Tail of the Dead Meeeeeeeen, a hilarious horror comedy chapter, and Natsu faces off with Mavis too, aaaandd we get a nice dose of Christmas!
Some shippers will be very happy with these stories, especially if you ship Gruvia, Nalu and Jerza...just saying! There's also some fun background on each of the short stories that was interesting to read and gave more insight in to each story and how it came about and how it fit in and so on. The art as usual is detailed when it comes to buildings and backgrounds, and obviously...it's the characters as we know and love them!

Assorted shorts from a long-running manga series (62 volumes and counting) that I haven’t read. Despite that, the character personalities and relationships quickly became clear. It’s over-the-top comedy about a band of attractive young wizards. After reading this, I wanted to read the manga and/or watch the anime—not sure which came first.

Happy The Blue Cat - THIS HAS NO RIGHT BEING SO CUTE AND SHORT. SCREW OFF 😭😭 I'm not crying, you are.
The Fairies Booby Prizes - So it started, kind of usual. Silly shenanigans, whatever. Wasn't that interested. But the stuff with Wendy and Cana I just can't 😭😭 Seeing Wendy be an actual kid? And any Cana backstory stuff is good. It was a good balance. Also Gajeel Levy ❤️
Welcome Home Frosch - EVERYTHING WITH FROSCH IS GOD TEIR. I cried when he cried 😭 I'm not gonna lie, this is borderline my favourite episode in the show, and I just love Frosch so much, even if he gets lost all the time 😭
413 Days - This is another one of my favourites (as a huge Gruvia fan). So heart felt ❤️ I enjoy the ending though, bringing it full circle typical Fairy Tail xD
That Woman Erza - This one is still cool, but the anime did it better. Not mentioned that Moulin Rouge is Bisca should be a crime. Still hilarious, but just unfinished to me.
Natsu Vs. Mavis - This one is funny. As much as the bath scenes in Fairy Tail specifically are always so fan service-y, they're also amusing. And this one is so heart felt too, it's all for a good cause 😭
Fairy Tail of the Dead Meeeeen - This much much less traumatizing in print. I still have not recovered from this episode, but reading it was more manageable. #IchiyaVirusIsIllegalForAReason
A Merry Fairy Christmas - What is this even 😂😂 Although I will admit, that would be a very fun drinking game that I may need to bring to a convention. ANYWAYS I love Erza for this. Some of these are the funniest panels I have seen from Fairy Tail. And the last Jellal panel is beautiful. I laughed a lot at this one (although I will say, it's a bit cruel lol)
Special Mission - This is adorable, and all I have to say is GIMME NALU ALREADY.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this series of shorts, very amusing. I don't hate filler, but I do like to chose when I get it and this was nice for that. I also like that some weren't in the show so they were new! And the author's little schpeels about the stories at the end was cute too. Definite 10/10 read if you love Fairy Tail.

I rate this 4.5 stars.
I remember watching these episodes in the anime years ago and wondering if they are filler. I started reading the main manga series in 2023 and haven't finished it yet and was still wondering if these were filler, and now I know that they're not, and that makes me happy. My most favourites out of these are still the Ichiya story and That Woman, Erza. When I watched the anime episodes of these, I thought they were hilarious and after reading these in manga format, I still think they're funny😂😊
Now I want to watch some of these episodes again.

Hmm probably if I read more of the Manga series as a whole I would appreciate this more but hehe fans probably love the short side trips with their characters plus...Happy really does have a positive spin on life!

Funny
So this is the filler stories of the anime in manga form. 🤔 I wonder if they are still considered fillers then. Anyway still good tales, especially the Christmas story. Nice PG dirtiness.

The Jerza scene at the end of the Christmas special made this 50% more worth it. Ugh, so cute<3

Weird little short stories... some extremely weird. I liked the one with Frosch best.

I love the fact that all of these got incorporated into the main anime. Except for the one where they go to the tavern...

The Christmas Story is one of my favourite stories of all, I would love to party with Erza :)))

Here is a collection of short stories from the Fairy Tail universe.
Each short story has its own OVA Anime.
It's a really fun read, if you're already familiar with the world and the characters.

I wasn't a fan of this. You learned some background of the characters that you didn't know before but really, it was just a big book a fan service.
