Then again, just how long does a peaceful life last in the "Fairy Tail" universe?
Titled, "Irreplaceable Friends," the final chapter will consist of 48 pages to properly send off Natsu, Lucy and their friends. There will also be center color pages to commemorate eleven years of serialization. Furthermore, "Fairy Tail" will be featured on Kodansha's Weekly Shounen Magazine cover page.
But could this really be the end? Manga creator Mashima himself has assured fans via Twitter that although the series is about to end, the mages' adventures will continue on. Fans have taken this to mean that Mashima could be working on a spinoff to his highly popular series.
Will fans be able to see more of Natsu, Lucy, Happy and the rest of the mages in Magnolia and beyond? If so, what will a potential spinoff be about? Will it see the return of previously defeated adversaries, or will new adventures equate to new villainous encounters?
No further detail has been given regarding this matter. For now, fans can expect to read the final chapter of "Fairy Tail" in the next issue of the Weekly Shounen Magazine.
