Speaking of, with Eden’s Zero currently in what appears to be its final arc has Mashima said anything yet about whether he’s doing something else afterwards?

Also if I remember right the anime should be starting back up again in a few months (100 Years Quest is apparently also getting an anime but I don’t know if we’ve heard anything more than “it’s happening”)

How involved is he in 100 Years Quest for that matter (the new artist seems to be aping his style pretty well at least)?

Mashima occupies a weird middle ground where he tends to write a lot of strong female characters but at the same time also enjoys putting as much fanservice in his work as he can get away with (though I don’t remember Rave Master being quite as bad in that regard)

mashima specializes in extremely mid shounen manga with lots of titties, which is a perfectly fine niche. but then every so often he dips into rapey bdsm poo poo. can't say i'm a fan of that.

TSUYOSHI: The one who no one can win against 1-9

Someone just recently started translating this again after like 3 years, and I ended up starting it the other day because of that. It's pretty entertaining.

It's about the world's strongest martial artist (maybe), only he's a convenience store clerk who would rather do anything but fight. It's kinda funny! The MC's fighting style is a bit...unorthodox.

There's Julia wrestling a dude who can turn into acid by jumping off an airship while holding onto him.

The dude turns into acid to break free from her hold only to realize that he's effectively killed himself by doing so because the acid is sent flying all over the place and he can't reform himself.

Also Julia is topless cause her shirt melted from the acid.

Don't forget about Julia's backstory where Let and Julia's incel friend Jerkoff betrays Let and brainwashes Julia and keeps her in dragon form because he lusts for her and uses her as his dragon mount (even though Jerkoff is himself a dragon).

Plot Twist: This time it’s a remake of Rave Master but in a different setting

Seriously though, why does Mashima reuse character designs so much (also the snowman dog Plue and some form of Jellal have been in literally every single one of his works that I’m aware of)?

Fair point (though Fairy Tail didn't copy from Rave Master nearly as much as Eden's Zero copied from Fairy Tail), and at the very least he usually changes the personalities/backstories of the characters just enough that they're still somewhat unique despite the visual similarities

I can't decide whether I like it or not. Sometimes I do and then I try to understand what's happening or try to follow the action and I just short circuit my brain.



Edens Zero is pretty fun. It's the only thing I've ever actually read by Mashima though and it's such a...weird experience. I kinda respect the dude for simultaneously getting his horny on while mostly keeping the women strong and capable.

That’s basically how all his manga are in my experience, yeah (and I’m not sure how much involvement he has in the Fairy Tail sequel but whoever’s behind it appears to be following in his footsteps pretty closely)
