For the 20th anniversary of "Fairy Tail," the successful manga series by Hiro Mashima returns in a short series. The launch is scheduled for August 5, 2026, in the combined issue 36/37 of "Weekly Shonen Magazine" (Kodansha). This marks the first serialization of Mashima's work in the magazine in nine years.
To commemorate the anniversary, an official memorial website was launched on April 8, where a special video was also released. Additionally, Mashima announced a signing tour through five Japanese cities: Hokkaido, Tokyo, Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka. Details regarding event locations and application procedures will be announced on the memorial website and the official X account (formerly Twitter) of Mashima's works.
Alongside the new series, the anime adaptation is also being honored. Starting April 11, all 328 episodes of the TV anime series will be streamed on the YouTube channel "Anime Times Channel." The episodes will be updated every Saturday at 10:30 AM. Furthermore, the production of a figure of the powerful wizard Erza Scarlet has been announced.
"Fairy Tail" is a fantasy action series that follows the adventures of the wizards Natsu and Lucy in the "Fairy Tail" guild. It was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Magazine" from 2006 to 2017. The spin-off series "Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest," for which Mashima provides the original concept, is currently being published on the "Magazine Pocket" platform.
Author Hiro Mashima expressed his excitement: "The fact that we can celebrate a manga that ended long ago in this way is solely thanks to the unwavering support of our readers. From this year to the next, we are preparing many new articles and events, so look forward to them. Let's celebrate the 20th anniversary together! Now I'm really fired up!"
