It is with utmost regret to inform you guys that Fairy Tail is coming to an end. From the information I have gathered in the latest volume, Fairy Tail is entering its major climax, and will end soon. In fact, Mashima has already designed the character for his next work nearly 2 month ago... While the title remained unknown, the twitter message said "A sketch of my next work. A young teen wearing Turkish style clothing." I apologize for holding back this information because I didn't want people to worry about the situation, but I can no longer hold back....

...But how many people actually believed that? Honestly, I have been hearing a lot of "OMG!! GMG has so many characters!! Everyone's showing up!!! Fairy Tail must be coming to an end" rumors recently from various places... and it's about time I put this rumor to rest.
This arc sure is long. Every arc that I drew ends in about three volumes. While I do plan my stories out very vaguely, I have been continuing to draw very long arcs recently. Still, I wonder if I should draw shorter stories after Grand Magic Game ends. I should also be more careful not to draw so many characters. When I counted how many characters there are in this arc, there were over 80 (TT^TT). It really wears me out every week drawing so many. While it's pretty much impossible for 80+ characters to show up all normal in one chapter, but seems like there will be even more characters added in around next volume or so. Just what's going on with this series....? This arc originally started out as "it's a festival" kind of thing, with the story right now feeling like it’s a compilation of everything up to now. But because it's getting towards a major climax feeling, there has been lots of rumors like "Fairy Tail might be coming to an end". Fairy Tail is not coming to an end yet. While I know that it will end someday, Anyways, this is the 35th volume. I have written it last time, but this volume matched the amount of volumes of my last major work. Starting from volume 36 will be a "new" territory for me. Please do continue to support my work from here on out. In other word, there will be at least 3 years or more of Fairy Tail, so please do not worry about Fairy Tail coming to an end any time soon. I know some of you guys are worried, so I hope this reassures you guys. In fact, in his follow-up twitter message, he said "While I think it depends on the people, I'm the type of person who thinks a lot about my next work while working on my current serialization. If I just have the time, strength, and timing, I'd like to work on another one at the same time."

EDIT: I think a lot of people has already gotten trolled by this, and the comments had people revealing the hidden content, so I decided to reveal hidden Collapsible tab. Also, I have clarified a bit of mistranslations. It's not "there are at least three more", but "there are at minimum of 3 more" because the first one sounded like he's going to make at least 3 more and he's pretty much done. Hope you guys enjoyed it, and, Chaos is.... going to run away from the angry mobs. :3
