Delve Deeper into the Fairy Tail Universe
The first season of Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest is merely the beginning of this thrilling new arc. Fans looking to explore Natsu`s journey beyond these initial episodes can dive into the original manga series. The anime`s first season adapts roughly the first 91 chapters, which corresponds to approximately Volume 10 of the manga. Currently, 18 volumes have been published, with Volumes 19 and 20 anticipated in November and April 2026, respectively. These paperback volumes offer a consistent design, perfect for collecting.
For newcomers to the enchanting world of Fairy Tail, exploring the original series is a must. Created and illustrated by Hiro Mashima, this beloved series is set in a magical realm filled with wizards and follows Natsu and his diverse group of friends as they undertake quests for their guild and confront dark mages. Known for its engaging characters, dynamic action, and surprising emotional depth, the original manga spanned an impressive 545 chapters across 63 volumes. Collectors often opt for the manga box sets, which typically bundle around 11 paperback volumes, complete with exclusive sticker sheets and a protective slipcase.
The original Fairy Tail also received a long-running anime adaptation, comprising 328 episodes. These are available on Blu-ray, featuring both Japanese audio with English subtitles and the English dub, alongside special features like clean credit sequences and promotional materials. Early collections often included DVD copies, transitioning to Blu-ray and digital streaming codes in later releases.
Beyond the TV series, Fairy Tail has ventured onto the big screen with two feature films. The first, Phoenix Priestess (released in 2012), follows the guild as they assist a young girl entangled in dark secrets and a grudge against wizards. The second film, Dragon Cry (released in 2017), sees Natsu and his allies journey to the perilous island kingdom of Stella to avert a global catastrophe.
