fuck-yeah-gruvia:

George Morikawa, the author of the long running series Hajime no Ippo (27 years old, 1147 chapters to date, and 114 volumes thus far) has drawn a Gruvia piece to pay tribute to Fairy Tail’s 10th anniversary. View all artwork by other mangaka for the occasion here.

As you can see, this is not the first time Morikawa-sensei has drawn Gruvia. The first picture (Mashima-sensei comments he’s excited and touched about) is from another milestone (I think, if someone knows exactly where that would be appreciated) and is rather old, but he says that he loves these two (Juvia and Gray) the most in FT (favorite characters). His opinion has not changed after all these years, which bodes well for the pairing because Mashima-sensei seems to be pretty close to him! Morikawa-sensei and Mashima-sensei tweet each other quite often on twitter. Some of you will recognize Morikawa-sensei’s twitter account since it appears on Mashima-sensei’s so often. In fact, just three days ago Mashima-sensei retweeted this. XD

Anyway just found it pretty neat. Mashima’s former assistant also drew Juvia this year as well. 

That’s incredible !
