Here's the source page for my info. Same company as the stats KM posted, oricon. I have no idea why FT isn't on the list he posted, but it's obviously not due to lack of total sales.
I'll also note on his one it's not in any particular order. So I'm not really sure what it's supposed to be saying.
Also outside of sales, it received the 2009 Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen manga.
Well yes, having the advantage of being a 9 year series vs a 4 year one will do that. Still, Bleaches' sales are on the way down while FT's nipping at Naruto's heals. Fairy Tail is the young up and comer who's taken it's place in sales-per-month, but hasn't had a chance to expand as much into other stuff.
Gray and Loke is fairly strong and one of the few teams who went with two strong fighters. Mest and Wendy, likely not the strongest due to Wendy not being a fighter, but quite useful due to her abilities. They don't seem better off than Levy and Gajeel, unless Mest's noticeably stronger than Gajeel.
Juvia and Lisanna may be up there. We haven't seen Lisanna's best battle form yet, and Juvia has the advantage of already having earned S-class elsewhere. If Lisanna's strong too then they might be at the top.
Considering Cana's supposed to be strong, I suspect they win via a method like switching up foes. Fried and Bixlow are powerful, but I don't think they have too big a power gap over their foes.
We didn't really see the fight from what I remember.
And while Lucy lacks Loke, she still has Aquarius and Sagittarius. Not exactly weak.
Anyway, what if they swap partners? Kana might be better against Bixlow than she is against Fried, and with Fried as most of his enchantments are fairly specific, summoning may be a fairly good way to get around them.
we didn't??damn..i only remember about his fight with Mira..cuz that's the only one worth remembering..if they didn't even show the fight..that just prove that Fried is way to awesome for Kana and they didn't even bother to show the fight..
Aquarius and Sag is powerful..but not Loki powerful..well..maybe i just think that because to me..Lucy is worthless..
i don't know how well it'll be if they swap opponent..but if Lucy beat Fried..it will be by some stupid plot device..i can never agree that Lucy is anywhere near Fried class when she doesn't have Loki..
Aquarius likely has more raw power than Loke, not to mention she has Scorpio and Gemini now, Scorpio might be quite strong. Oh, and she got a magic whip from Edolas to boot.
Loke's overall probably her best... but she's hardly out of dangerous weapons or anything.
There's more to fighting than just "who's stronger." Fried's magic is basically a specific hax, and last time he had a prepared battlefield.
Lucy's fought some pretty darn powerful foes, like Angel. Between her new spirits and clever usage, there might be a lot she can do.
Despite their misgivings, I see the teams as pretty evenly matched.
Fried can just torture Lucy with his rune like he did to elfman and Kana..he torture Kana with his rune until she is KO..if he need to get physical..he can turn into a demon..he actually go toe to toe with demon Mira in this form..althou he got stomp when Mira started using her magical power..but physically..he's about equal to Mira's demon form..none of Lucy spirit can even compare to Fried..
