Similar to other people, Fairy Tail has given me a "void" in my heart, most of us wanted to drop it by the "last" arc of Fairy Tail which was just... you know messed up I guess, it could have been at least decent but Mashima wasted off it, especially the villains, the forgettable spriggan 12, and the OVERhyped... trust me TRULY OVERhyped Acnologia who got wasted off in mere chapters. But, this is about the new manga 100-year quest which is obviously not even near as popular as the original run of Fairy Tail, but I think PERSONALLY that people should at least give ... the first 10 chapters a try... well here I go.
The story is actually really good, especially the first 2 arcs, it was a masterpiece actually, it is comparable or even greater to GREAT arcs like Tenrou Island and GMG - Part 1 and Tartoros - Climax; since many people liked these arcs I think if people gave Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest a try they will like it. You see, this is about a quest which was not been accomplished for over a century, and the quest is to find the Dragon Gods... well along the way there are many problems and the Dragon Gods themselves are the worst, and the other problem AT THE FIRST HALF OF THIS MANGA is Touka, a "sweet" girl which is a new spirit to the guild Fairy Tail, and without spoilers, this is all I can state, but I enjoyed this.
Next, the Fairy Tail guild members are the same with some romantic character developments, and almost no distinctive different character traits, well it still doesn't mean I did not like the guild members, I actually LOVE all of them they are like family to me and no matter what that won't change to me even if they may get boring, but the main characters have a lot going on, but from what I saw they did not change much either, well my favorite part about the romantic character development I talked about is probably Natsu growing a bit of a lust for Lucy I guess lol, but the new characters that they are showing through this adaption are GREAT, actually gave me lots of surprises unlike the new characters in the "final" arc, but I won't spoil it.
I don't have anything to say about the art, it's good but I personally liked Mahima's art more, it felt more attractive to me, while the new artist's art is a bit bland, it is expansional at special scenes and fight scenes.
The fight results are really really good right now, it is fair and there are new characters that have GREAT powers, and in the second because of a "condition" in an arc, there are SO MUCH interesting fights which I think MANY people deserve to read, I AM SO EXCITED FOR "that" to be animated lol.
My overall enjoyment for this adaption is very high, the fan service is the same as the original run, and the comedy scenes are well... laughable sometimes it has bland jokes, but that's fine I don't mind it.

I actually like this sequel better than the original series. Sure, it's still the same trope all over with extensive fan service. However, the tone is far less serious than the original, and new characters keep on coming even with zero hint of the plot so far about their sudden appearance. The manga repeats itself so much that it becomes kinda brainless fun action sequence, and people should just enjoy it and do not expect something deeper than that.

Overall, FT100YQ is recommended for people looking for some fun pastime, because it's really fun, instead of looking for coherent, decent story-telling.

I love Fairy Tail so much, and I've been a fan for years, so as someone who's read all the existing spin offs, I was so excited for the sequel. The word "disapointment" is an understatment for what this is.

They reduce every character down to whatever their two strongest character traits were in the original, and half of them are now only focused on the other half of their ship. There's none of the character depth from the original, and many characters, like Gray, change completely to fit the ship naritive. That by itself is enough to dismantle the entire story. Not to spoil ... a moment of this terrible series, but there is literal vore that appears out of no where and without warning. It's no longer fanservice at that point, it's disturbing.

The story was garbage and doesn't match up to the morals the characters have shown to have (Natsu, specifically), but that can be chalked up to what I have already mentioned. the characters are reduced to nothing but a shell of who they were formerly.

The art is really wonky in places as well, and it only gets worse throughout the series. I have seen panels from far ahead of where I stopped. They're horrid. I wishI could rate this sequel a 0.
