To Utopia2 Well I still enjoy it the show it's just gone down hill, and no I know others matter, and I can insult the creator freely it's called critique if you will. Actually they don't make quite as much as you think most make around 48,000 year at Shonen Jump the most popular magazine,the one which Hiro Mashima doesn't work at so it's probably lower pay than that, but the more popular ones make more than that but not that much. Of course they get merchandise and that figures in to it as well. I work at a good place been there for 3 years after college a Union job I make around 90,000 a year so no they don't make more then I ever will and  Mashima may retire and not create more we don't know and I have got over 40 years of work ahead of me if I retire at 62 which it'll probably be later with the economy if it doesn't pick up so if I end up going higher on the chain in the next 40 years then I will probably make more than he ever does in his life.

TO Fairy Tail Grand Master I agree I loved it and I loved Tenrou but after that it just went way down hill
