Fairy Tail’s main series run might have ended some time ago, but Lucy, Natsu and many more favorites from the Fairy Tail guild have made their return in the pages of the official sequel series, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest. The sequel has become such a hit with fans in its own right that it has been officially picked up for an anime adaptation of its own. Unfortunately, there have yet to be any concrete details confirmed for its production studio, staff, or release date as of this writing.
If you wanted to get a jump start on the sequel before the anime makes its debut, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest has been officially licensed by Kodansha Comics. They describe the sequel series as such, “Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Erza, and the whole Fairy Tail guild are back in action! And they’ve decided to tackle the ‘100 Years Quest‘ – a job no one’s dared take on since the founding of the guild more than a century ago. A mysterious town, a baffling spirit, a ghastly new enemy…and a brand new continent to explore. When you’re with real friends, the adventures never stop!”
