waaahhh..! BEAUTIFUL!!! it kicked my heart so many times! i just LOVE those two!! cant wait to see more progess in the manga and for it to be animated in the anime!
also, i just love how the way you write each moments doesnt show any favoritism on it!! i will totally come see this manifesto everytime gray and juvia have a moment toguether!! :D

Thank you. :) I love them too~ Yeah, Naval Battle is being animated this coming week so I'm excited for that. They are also making chapter 298 into an OVA (the love slide moment is in that chapter). I bet the anime will throw some bonus Gruvia stuff in there. Gotta love fanservice!

I tried to be as unbiased as possible. xD Thanks again!

My initial thoughts on Gruvia were much the same for a while - I thought it was completely one-sided and was annoyed by the level of obsession Juvia displayed for Gray, and still am in some cases (stalking, misinterpreting his words, etc.), but I think that's a holdover from another fandom you wrote a Manifesto for, when one of the anti-arguments was and still is that the lady is just a stalking fangirl. ;)

Great manifesto, I look forward to seeing it updated!

Oni!!!! I didn't know you liked FT. Thanks so much, and indeed it was. Look at how the "other" pairing turned out though. ;) So I do think Juvia will tone down the fangirling. The stalking she already has minimized. She's fighting seriously with Gray right now and I'm hoping it stays that way.

such a wonderfull manifesto. <3 I love it, since I'm big fan of Gruvia(+and another half canon pairings ;p). I just have one question. Have you know where can I find translated version of "(Older)Relationship Chart"? I'll glad if you know it and tell me. ;) In moments like this ,I wanted to know japanese. ;((

x_darkhope_x February 24 2013, 21:17:27 UTC

Thank you! Me too - I support all the other obvious ones. Mashima isn't really subtle when it comes to pairings, haha. And I'm not sure. I don't think there is one, unfortunately. But you know Juvia's is "like/love" ("suki" I think) because of the heart and it's the same wording as Jet and Droy's relationship with Levy, and mutual love between Alzack and Bisca. All have the same words. X'D

I also put it there because it shows Gray does not have romantic interest in anyone. ;) So that means he can fall for Juvia more easily~~ Hehe.

OH MY!!! This is a great manifesto *O* It actually woke me up (well I haven't sleep and it's already morning) so it helps me out but seriously I'm grinning like an idiot here as I read the manifesto ^^

I'm actually the same as you *O* At first I didn't like Juvia when she showed up in phantom arc but I find her hilarious but as the story progresses in anime/manga ^O^ I couldn't help to like her and because Mashima-san always draw Juvia really beautifully when he post it on twitter ^~^ Now I ship Gruvia like crazy XD (but I'm not that kind of a shipper who fights with other fandoms O.O)

I really can't wait for the new chapter and a possibility that they will do a unison raid ^O^ And in the anime naval battle is coming and the OVA in Ryuuzetsu Land <3 Gruvia feels everywhere ^O^

I'm going to follow this manifesto ^~^

x_darkhope_x February 24 2013, 23:18:50 UTC

Awww, I'm glad it woke you up! Haha!

I agree! I guess either you disliked Juvia in the beginning and grew to love her, or you always loved her. I feel like there's no in-between. XD Gosh, Juvia was so annoying to me. because I love Gray It was like... stalking to the extreme! XD But yeah, I'm glad she toned down on the stalking thing and the fangirling I expect to stop once she gets reallyyyy close with Gray. ;) Oh yeah, I follow him on twitter. He certainly likes to draw Gray, that's for sure. Yeah I don't fight with other fandoms either in FT - cause Gruvia is just too obvious to me ( ... )
