Hiro Mashima At The New York Comic Con
During Hiro Mashima’s third visit to the New York Comic Con, he revealed quite a few things about himself and his work. During his Q&A, he was asked by a fan whether the themes of friendship in his manga stemmed from his personal experiences. To this, Hiro Mashima said he started the story when he had no friends. This excessive theme of friendship in Fairy Tail originates from this loneliness.
After this, there was a very wholesome incident where multiple fans around him offered to be friends with him. There are several fans who have felt the story resonate within them, though. A fan told Hiro Mashima that his story helped him to get through his tough times in school, and even helped with his friendships.
