Mashima Hiro

BIOGRAFIA & NOTAS

**Name In Native Language:** 真島ヒロ **Birthdate:** May 3, 1977 Mashima Hiro first gained success with *Rave Master*, serialized in Koudansha's *Weekly Shounen Magazine* from 1999 to 2005. His best-selling work, *Fairy Tail*, published in the same magazine from 2006 to 2017, became one of the best-selling manga series ever with over 72 million copies in print. Mashima began the currently ongoing *EDENS ZERO* in 2018. Mashima is known for many things, but his big three tend to be an artstyle reminiscent of *One Piece*, a love for the power of friendship, and a strong work ethic - at one point, he wrote six chapters of *Fairy Tail* in two weeks, and even recently simultaneously balanced drawing *EDENS ZERO*, doing storyboards for *Fairy Tail* spinoffs, and playing video games in his spare time.
