Read Vols 1-22, 43-53. Pretty cute. Ended with the last arc people seem to be fans of. I don't know why I thought this would basically be Winx Club, about a fairy school. As opposed to a wizards guild. Quite action-y though at least it's often magic battles as opposed to martial arts battles so it's a bit different from other action manga. The wicked villains do kind of blend together though.
Character-wise I still don't care a lot about Lucy or Natsu though they're the leads. Erza's pretty badass and quotable. Gray is fun, even if his most memorable character trait is his usual state of undress. And Happy is adorable.
