If you
thought Natsu's fire had already gone out with the end of the main story, get
ready because the furnace is hotter than ever. The official website of Hiro
Mashima's manga confirmed on Tuesday that Kodansha's Weekly
Shonen Magazine will receive a new short serialization of Fairy
Tail as a central part of its 20th anniversary celebrations.
The new chapters of this magic shonen will debut
in the combined 36/37 edition of the magazine, scheduled for August 5, 2026.

The
celebration does not remain only on paper. In addition to the YouTube marathon
that will add new chapters every Saturday, collectors have a date with the claw
machines in Japan. Sega's Yumemirize brand will launch a new Erza
Scarlet figure in October with a bunny outfit that
promises to be the jewel of many shelves. As if that were not enough, Hiro
Mashima will take the time to thank the unconditional support with a national
signing tour that will visit Hokkaido, Tokyo, Aichi, Osaka and Fukuoka. Mashima
shared a direct message assuring that he is totally "turned on" to
see his readers again and celebrate these two decades of adventures.
What is
this chaotic wizarding guild about?
For those
who need a refresher, the original work that was published between 2006 and
2017 introduces us to Lucy Heartfilia, a young magician who dreams of entering
the prestigious association of sorcerers. His life changes when he meets Natsu,
a fire wizard capable of eating flames, and his talking cat Happy. Together
they are part of the Fairy Tail Guild, a place famous for accepting
dangerous quests and destroying half a kingdom in the process. While the
sequel 100 Years Quest is still active, these new special
August chapters will serve to delve deeper into the legacy of a series that
defined the adventure and friendship genre for an entire generation.
