The author of the popular Fairy Tail manga has announced that the long-running story will end “in about 2 more volumes”. Volume 61 of the manga was released in Japan earlier in May along side the second Fairy Tail anime movie, Dragon Cry, and it’s now looking like author Hiro Mashima is planning to move onto a new story.

Meanwhile, the Fairy Tail anime is currently being released in the UK on DVD through Funimation (via Anime Limited). Earlier today, we posted our review of Part 14, whilst the Dragon Cry film is getting a number of UK screenings on the 17th of May courtesy of Anime Limited.

For an anime film to be released on May 6th in Japan and then being screened over here on May 17th seems really quick. I can't think of a faster turnaround, in terms of theatrical releases?
 
Can't say I'm surprised about it ending soonish. I'm a little behind with my reading but it feels like it's been moving towards a conclusion, but taking a bit too long to do so.
 
If we use previous volumes as an example a volume of Fairy tail has around 8-9 chapters so if we go by he means 2 more volumes worth from where he is currently we're talking around 16-18 chapters left of Fairy Tail.

I've felt the ending flag for awhile so this doesn't come as a surprise. This entire arc has felt like he was cleaning up loose ends.
 
I can remember receiving the first volume to review from Del Rey (remember them?)... I wrote: 'However, having devoured the first volume, I’m delighted to report that ‘Fairy Tail’ is a fun read, genuinely funny, and brimming with promise for the adventures to come.'

Has it lived up to its initial promise? :cool:
 
Not surprised to hear this as I had a really strong feeling we were within the final arc. Looking forward to seeing how it all ends and I believe it's ending on a high, at least compared to other long running shonen (like Bleach) which got boring by the end.
 
I gave up on Bleach, Naruto and One Piece. Fairy Tail is the only long running shonen manga I'm still collecting and reading.

Looking forward to seeing how it ends.
