Rave Master

A manga about a boy who embarks on a quest to find the 4 Rave stones and defeat the Dark Bring to save the world.

This is Hiro Mashima‘s debut work. It’s a pretty standard shonen action manga but you can see how he started with this book before moving on to his acclaimed Fairy Tail series. Fairy Tail is more refined in comparison but I find myself enjoying the stranger aspects of Rave Master, like the weird mascot Plue.

If you’re a fan of Fairy Tail I think you’ll find a lot to enjoy reading this. It’s available from Kodansha Comics.
