Manga author Hiro Mashima announced on Twitter on Thursday that he will launch a new manga in this year's 30th issue of Weekly Shounen Magazine on June 27. Mashima mentioned in January that the series will be "a new form of fantasy" and Plue, a recurring character in his works, will make an appearance.

Mashima also announced plans for two Fairy Tail spin-off manga, one of which will serve as a sequel to the main series. Furthermore, he revealed that the final Fairy Tail anime season will begin airing this fall.

The adventure fantasy manga launched in Weekly Shounen Magazine in 2006 and ended last July, compiling a total of 63 volumes. Fairy Tail won the 33rd Kodansha Manga Award for shounen manga and also the Japan Expo Award in 2009. The manga has inspired multiple anime 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.

Prior to becoming defunct, Del Rey Manga published the first 12 volumes of the manga in English in North America. Kodansha Comics USA resumed its publication with the 13th volume in 2011 and released the last volume on January 23. Funimation licensed the anime for North American distribution and has been releasing the series on Blu-ray and DVD since April 2013.

Fairy Tail had a weak ending, but I'll probably read this eventually.

I'mma laugh if the main character's name is "Aki."

Now we wait and see who gets that dumb, low-hanging joke that just occurred to me...

LMAO, obviously it will be Aki... Or Fuyu.
Haru: Spring, a kind dude.
Natsu: Summer, hot headed person.
Aki: Fall. I expect him to be laid back

PLEASE BE AS GOOD AS RAVE MASTER and not as bad as Fairy Tale.
It's been more than six years and I still remember some scene or characters from Rave Master because it's just that good.

I recommend people to read Rave Master if they get bad taste left on their tongue on Fairy Tale. I swear, I cry a lot on Rave Master.
Sieghart man, he is too great.

Well hopefully he gets a writer to help him this time with the plot and characters...

I want to assume the booming of anime is because of people looking up to Mashima.

Really don't understand all the hate for Fairy Tail, I enjoyed it, it's just an ecchi shounen series, yeah, the ending sucked and I can't defend it, even Hiro didn't but the rest of the series was really enjoyable and no series is perfect.

Whatever, I'm looking forward to his new series, and also, looking forward to the anime.

Probably will be like Boruto or whatever its called where it focuses on the next generation I mean he already gave us sketches of Gray/Juvia,Levy/Gajeel, and Natsu/Lucy children.

I don't know if I will read the new manga or not.
