Thread: is the author of one piece the same as Fairy Tale?

is the author of one piece the same as Fairy Tale? i just saw the drawing for Fairy Tale and it looks very similar to One Piece.

The author for Fairy tail is Mashima Hiro. Eiichiro Oda, is the author for One piece.

They have a similar style in story and art I suppose, and they are good at what they do in a very original style.

Fairy Tail's author is Hiro Mashima, the author of Rave. they have same style in draw their comic.

It's the mouths, bodyshapes, eyes, and Nakama-centered thing, I imagine. Ah, and the vastely different powers per character.

Hmm I can understand how visually someone could make the mistake

Think Oda=Chopper (talking reindeer)

Hiro=Happy (talking cat)

And also Mashima Hiro used to work with Eiichiro Oda on One Piece, as a assitent, later he went on to do Rave Master.

Appearently Mashima Hiro also was also an assistent for Nobuhiro Watsuki, the same for Eiichiro Oda when he was 19.

a shameless ride to fame if you ask me. fairy tail has a decent concept, story and all but whatever the reason is, there should be a limit on how much a character can be alike.
