 Manga author Hiro Mashima announced in the afterword of the 61st compiled volume of Fairy Tail manga on Wednesday that the series will conclude in two volumes. He further stated on his Twitter account that he has lots of plans for the franchise, although the manga is ending. Mashima also revealed that he plans to begin a new series soon.Fairy Tail has been serialized in Weekly Shounen Magazine since August 2006, and currently has over 60 million copies in print worldwide. The series won in Shounen manga category at the 33rd Kodansha Manga Award and Japan Expo Award in 2009. The manga has inspired multiple adaptations; including a 175-episode TV series, a 102-episode sequel, two OVA series, two anime films, several spin-off manga, and a side story novel series. Del Rey Manga (now defunct) initially published the first 12 volumes of the manga in English in North America, and Kodansha Comics USA resumed publishing the manga with the 13th volume in May 2011. Funimation licensed the anime for North American distribution, and has been releasing the series in Blu-ray and DVD since April 2013. Source: Hachima Kikou, Otakomu |

| Man. :/ And I was getting ready to start planning to read the series from the beginning. Well, at least I'll have enough time catch up to when the series is completed, I guess. |
 |
| Time for the inevitable re-read after having it on-hold since god knows when. |
 |
| I hope the next series will be better. edit: about to end in 10 chapters |

 But you'll still take damage! |
| ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME~ |
| This final arc has been god-awful, it's about time to just let it die. Hopefully whatever he does next is better than FT, but that honestly shouldn't be too difficult. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| kinda old news, but hype for the finale! |
| I really ought to finish FT 2014. I'd be so in the mood if they announce another season to wrap it all up with this. |
 |
| Current mood. Man, I never really considered how I'd feel when the day came to see that 'Fairy Tail' To End announcement. It's bittersweet, really. As one of my first anime/manga pick-ups, Fairy Tail has established itself as one of my all-time favorite franchises, particularly thanks to the characters (looking at you, Erza). I think it's nice, though, that the series is heading towards a conclusive and fulfilling end. As much as some fans would love for it to never end, we've seen what that can do to similar franchises overtime, and I don't want that for Fairy Tail. Mashima, both as a person and mangaka, is someone to really respect, and I trust that he knows when it's time to move on. I'm looking forward to the future, excited to see what's to come as the manga concludes. Here's to hoping we get a nice and proper third adaptation. |

Symphyon said: yh the series did get worse as it went on and on.Eh, the recent arc for Fairy Tail was pretty damn awful. But I hope it ends on a decent note in all honesty. And I don't really get anything regarding on "for the future of shounen mangas" even before Fairy Tail existed... series had the same issues, if not far worse by comparison to Fairy Tail to me. And I've seen or read worse shounen mangas with this. Hopefully, when Hiro ends this he can make something he has more interests in because I felt like Fairy Tail lost its entertainment charm as the arcs passed by honestly, with exception of Tartarus Arc. Although fans might be pissed about Natsu not facing acnologia. Fairy tail to me kinda lost its mojo a long time ago though. Still it didn't drop as much as bleach did. |

| Guess that's rip for any chances of having a new anime |
| I remember when I read the first chapters of FT on KEFI as a young lad back then. Sadly, after a good 50-60 chapters the manga fell into a very predictable and lame framework from which it never recovered. So despite its success I will probably never read a Mashima manga again, it was just way too generic and repititive for me to be enjoyable. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| "You'll never see it comiiiiiiiiiiiing" Damn, well im hope something fresh is gonna start from him |

| Great to hear. It went from fun/significant character interactions to things like Lucy falling to the ground with her blouse tearing into little pieces in the process just so we could have another BOOBS moment. That was about 150 chapters ago when I stopped reading so I can't even imagine all the nonsense that has happened since then. |
Valaskjalf said: Guess that's rip for any chances of having a new anime there are still fans that think an anime sequel will be announce but base on history like with Bleach manga then a chance for an anime sequel is gone when the source material ends |
Symphyon said: j0x said: there are still fans that think an anime sequel will be announce but base on history like with Bleach manga then a chance for an anime sequel is gone when the source material ends Well, it can still happen even if a series ends. But base point while I prefer not having a sequel since they will then adapt that arc which everyone dislikes, it can still happen. Probably. ye anime sequel of a concluded manga can happen too like Inuyasha The Final Act i heard but that took decades, so good luck for those waiting anime fans |
draco6 said: what a relief, just make sure not ended into "the next generation". By next generation you mean Kimetsu no Yaiba, Black Clover, Yakusoku no Neverland, Dr. Stone and Boku no Hero Academia right? |
| It's the best decission Mashima could take, tbh. Not just because the quality of the manga became worse, but because they were already dealing with the final bosses and there wasn't any much to do with the series at this point. |
 |
| Praise the sun!!!!!!!!!!! FT is soooooooooooooooooooo boring and repetitive!!!!! Let it die!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| good fucking riddance |
 |
| ahahahahahhahahahah at least, it finnaly officially confirmed... good fucking riddance... this series should ended long time ago or the ending changed totally, but last 3 arc is god damn awful with last arc is the worst... it kinda sad that it will be the last arc will be remembered (like bleach)... i like it in the beginning, it look like your usual fun adventure series... not to mention rave was good experience... but it got too cheesy when they are attempt to get serious... it just didn't really deliver... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Heh, so the time has finally come. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| What a great time to be alive. This manga has massively overstayed it's welcome |
| Oh wow, well I guess I'll finally be able to start reading it. |
| finally !!! it was about time. |
| Biggest train wreck in history. It went from absolutely fantastic earlier arcs to a horrible mess after Edolas. Feels like he don't even know himself what to do with his own series. Nevertheless, still looking forward to his next world. Hopefully, this time, focusing more on ecchi stuff. |
| so many long running series are ending |
 |
| Fairy tail never deserved more than a 6/10 score, but I still want them to animate the rest of the manga But yeah based on previous experiences and the current manga sales, I don't think this will happen. |
| Will the new series he'll start something like the Boruto thingy or different? Kuma said: i like it in the beginning, it look like your usual fun adventure series... not to mention rave was good experience... but it got too cheesy when they are attempt to get serious... it just didn't really deliver... I actually kinda felt that when I started watching FT S2... :/ |
Symphyon said: _Ako_ said: Will the new series he'll start something like the Boruto thingy or different? Most likely something different. If he's gonna do something different I'm quite curious how that one will turn out. Ohhh, not that is quite a good one. I'm expecting something like... FT ship established(ending) ----> Then move on to something like Boruto If it is a different, I might first look what it has to offer... |
| Finally man I got tired of lowering FT's score week in week out that's how terrible the shit is man. |
 |
| Let's hope he doesn't rehash the same ideas he did for Fairy Tail. I found it so nerve-wracking every time he introduced an element in Fairy tail he already explored in Groove Adventure Rave. Please explore new territory, Mashima-sensei! |
| F Make some Lucy spinoffs Mashima :'( |
