Anyone reading the manga could have figured that out without him coming out and saying so.

Wow, I had no idea this was getting close to the end. I'm a bit surprised he's not being pressured to drag it out longer, but I'm glad he's ending it, seemingly, as he sees fit.

Nah, more like 10.

Volume 61 ended with chapter 527. We are at 534 at the moment. 8 chapters per volume means that it should end around 543, unless the final volumes contain more.

Frankly, I'm glad he's ending it how he wants to. I think he should have quit while he was ahead before the first timeskip, but... heck. If it's ending anyway, I might actually finish the damn thing.

I love Fairy Tail so im really sad it ending, but better end in a great way than to drag on like some others did. Now its waiting for the anime to return. How many episodes can they make with the material that is left?

Will be weird when FT ends. It's the only manga I've been reading weekly.

Mishima is also revealing that


Who's that? Razz

Yeah, no surprises here...hopefully his next series will have more plot and less "plot".

I dunno. Right now, the only currently-running shonen titles that I'm regularly buying are Seraph of the End, My Hero Academia, Dragon Ball Super, Fairy Tail, Attack on Titan, and To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts (seems like a lot, except I'm buying way more non-shonen stuff). They each offer me something different, and I'm not sure Fairy Tail would make it onto my shelves if it was just another fantasy battle comic. It's the over-the-top character designs that draw me to the series.

I honestly am just gonna wait and see how this plays out don't want him to wrap up these last 2 fights in 10 or so chapters but considering how short the fights have been for this arc i guess ill be wrong.And i honestly just hope acnologia doesn't go out like this via raven of time. I would have loved to see all the dragon slayers vs acno even if power scaling wise it wouldn't have made scene still would be cool Sad

Here's a link to the afterword page in volume 61 translated for those who have not seen it: https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/861946007503880192

Here's a link to a fan prediction that says it will end at 545: http://thefairystales.tumblr.com/post/159213991802/a-japanese-fans-prediction-of-when-ft-is-ending

This is going of the assumption that it while end at 545 but If they do the 2 chapters per episode, like they kinda did for the tartaros arc. then around 62 amusing that they dont add any fluff to pad out the fights(Which would be greatly appreciated) nor any filler episodes.

Aside from a couple of Slice of Life episodes I don't think there will be much filler especially if the anime returns once Mashima has wrapped FT up.

Hopefully the anime starts winter.
