<p>Hey pixie… 
Canada stuff just went down the drain for this year, no thanks to the U.P. State govt. and its corrupted ways. My only way of financing the education is notwithstanding. <em>sigh</em> hopefully I will apply next year. I am thinking of giving SATs again, just for more options as far as Uni are concerned.</p>
<p>Fairytail does have romance, but they are not over the top obvious about it…only slight hints of the pairings. Its more like bleach and dbz, just fit in a lead character almost as obnoxious as Naruto in between. I am still debating whether I should start watching Nura: Last of Yokai clan (or something), but due to its slightly creepy theme, I am still undecided. The good news is, Maid sama! is finally in english, but I am far ahead in manga series.</p>
<p>Fairytail is story set in middle age like background, with people in modern attire (XD another similarity with Naruto series). The main characters are Lucy heartfilia, Natsu dragneel, Grey fullbuster and Erza scarlet, and a small cat named Happy. Lucy is from a real rich family, but she is avoided by her money hogger of a father. Her mother passed away when she was young. So lucy ran away from home. She started collecting certain special keys which possess power to summon the zodiac(Aquarius, cancer, etc.) and celestial spirits(Lyra, horologium, etc.), thus making her one of the celestial mages(which are rare, there aren’t many keys. Throughout the series, only one other such mage was revealed from Lucy’s time line. Rest died before her…) </p>
<p>In the fairytail world, the mages have divided themselves in various guilds, and Lucy wished to join one in which her idol mage Mirajane was, fairytail. She gets a chance to do that when she meets Natsu and Happy, who saved her from being wooed by a man who claimed to be a Firedragon slayer Salamander(Dragonslayers are stronger than normal mages. They possess the qualities of the dragons they are associated with). That man caught up with Lucy again, and this time, he fooled her by saying he was from Fairytail, and wanted her to meet her in a party hosted by him in a cruise ship. As it turned out he was a slave trader, and was going to sell lucy, along with some other girls. Again, Natsu comes to rescue her. Unfortunately, Natsu gets sick on ships, and could do nothing except getting beaten up. Happy meanwhile flies(Aaah yes he is a cat with wings) with lucy. But lucy refuses to leave Natsu, and decides to help by summoning Aquarius(remember the keys?). Aquarius sends a powerful water wave towards the ship, knocking it towards the land. With no water beneath his feet, Natsu is well again. He shocks everyone by telling that he is the Actual Firedragon slayer Salamander, and he is a member of Fairytail. He defeats all the bad guys, destroying a good part of city. When he realizes that the city authorities are behind him, he grabs Lucy and Happy, and makes a run for it. He also brings lucy to make her a member of fairytail. There she meets Grey, an ice mage who by the way looks like Sasuke, but is as loud as Naruto. His bad habit: He never wears full clothes, his shirt is always absent. XD and Erza is a weapon mage… she is counted amongst the strongest mages. She is stoic, impatient, proud, and seems perfect. But she has a clumsy and slightly funny side to her. Amongst the 5, she is currently the strongest, although Natsu might soon catch up to her. The story carries on as Lucy discovers the magic world. So u can say that Natsu and Lucy are main protagonists.</p>
