Fairy Tail - Vol.23

The magic concepts always feel fresh and creative. I'm curious whether this was planned from the beginning or evolved as the story progressed.

The mix of intense battles with funny moments keeps it engaging but also unpredictable. I wonder how the author manages to keep that balance so well.

The action panels are so vivid and exciting. It'd be great to know if there's a specific process for choreographing these sequences visually.
