Now that's the way, Gray:

What a chapter. I can't wait to see what else this kid can do even though we've already seen him a lot in the most recent FT chapters.

I wonder if Nano will ever appear in the main manga?

I hope not, her mary sueness is already making my eyes bleed.

And has the author of this like even READ Fairy Tail? Ur did NOT want Gray to challenge Deliora. Ur would NOT want him just picking fights.

Yeah I'm gonna keep reading it because it's Fairy Tail, but it's really not very good.

It was an ok first chapter and it's good to have a spin of about Gray.

The art is the thing i don't like, it's very diferent from Fairy Tail main series...

Art could be better, but this was OK start for Gray's story after Ur and before Fairy Tail

Not really a Grey fan, so it just feels like another mediocre manga. A disappointing start when compared with FT Zero, but I'll stick with it and see where it goes.

Scroll up, I pointed out the same thing. Ur never said that- In fact she wanted the opposite, so I'm not sure why the hell this author would write that in there.

@Behemoth- Not a problem! ♥

@Z4k- I'm not sure. Maybe it's a mistranslation? Because that's a pretty big glaring error.

I also think that Gray is a little too cheery right now. This takes place soon after Ur died and Lyon went crazy, right? Shouldn't he be a little more melancholy, and then work his way up to being cheerful and snarky as the series progresses? In fact he's cheerier here than he ever is in the actual series, which makes NO SENSE. He should be LESS cheerful here and more cheerful there.

So for real, does this author even read Fairy Tail?

You did not read the post on the mangastream front site did you? It says "Both were written under Mashima's supervision, but while Mashima personally draws Zero himself, his executive assistant Shirato Yuusuke is the artist behind Ice Trail. Both are therefore official canon."

I agree with you though, a lot of things don't make sense. Ur would never say something like that. The art is also worse than in the main series and so far I don't really like Nano.

It could've had a much better start if you ask me, this was only an OK chapter for me.

''If you're lost, you strip.''
That's a nice one. Gray being Gray.

Well,ok they wanted to make a big oppening, but they could make this Gray VS guild thing a little longer. He went to the guild boss in a pinch.

Still wary of this manga - first chapter felt very rushed.
But it's Gray so you're damn right I'm going to read it regardless.

Well it would have been better if back on Tenrou Island Gray had flashback of this little girl while fightning Urtear (unless he is going to loose memories of this little girl). Both can manipulate time.

Great start, young Gray is the best, love the little guy. When you're lost you strip right? Damn straight. Still smile whenever he does that. Nano seems nice but guessing she won't stick around long. The Guild Masters design was suitably bizarre. Art could be better overall though.

Ehh could be he is trying to ignore his underlining feelings by putting up a brave front setting him up to get crushed when nano eventually leaves.

Anyway, spin off about Gray ? I'm game, shame no Juvia though, always like those two together.

I got this as a Christmas present but I probably would have never picked it up on my own. Although I love Gray, the fact that Mashima didn't write it makes it seem like fan fiction to me.
The first thing that got to me was the art was not the same. After reading the first 2 chapters, I feel like Gray isn't as depressed as I thought he would be. (I'm pretty sure Ur just sacrificed herself, right?)
Of course I will finish this volume and see how I feel after.

I guess you are right. I thought he only approved/overviewed it for some reason. I did end up enjoying it at the end but I still feel Gray's too cheerful though.
