Sketch of a comic, inspired by the song “Quando finisce un amore” (“When a love story ends”) by Riccardo Cocciante. The text and more about this under the cut.

So, I have some exciting news ~!

⚡️ The upcoming Fairy Tail mini-serialization will be centered around LAXUS! ⚡️

This is according to Hiro Mashima himself at the Amiens Comics Festival in France 🇫🇷 !

Q: To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Fairy Tail, a mini-series will be published in Weekly Shonen Magazine. Can you tell us more about it? HM: My editors are present in the room, so I’m not quite sure what I’m allowed to say… (laughter). The next mini-series will be centered on Laxus. The story is going to be stunning, I hope you’ll like it.

And I assume this means Laxus is the "surprising character" that Hiro Mashima mentioned back in April:

"There will also be a short, concentrated serialization. It’s a story focusing on a surprising character, but Natsu and the others will still be causing plenty of chaos."

I've also seen it translated as: "a story focusing on some unexpected characters," which only adds to my delusional hope that the Raijinshuu will actually get to play a bigger role for this story, but it’s probably just a mistranslation.

I’m going to ramble a bit here, but I still really really hope it will be about Laxus AND the Raijinshuu. I know Mashima said it was centered around Laxus, but I can’t imagine the Raijinshuu not being involved in some way. (It feels wrong to even consider them not being included in a Laxus story, but you never know with how they’ve been treated lately 😖.)

Honestly... It's the only reason I'm scared to get my hopes up. I'm still super excited about it, don't get me wrong! But I've also been disappointed way too many times with how they've been handled throughout the series and just how often they seem to be forgotten about. And I know I’m not the only one.

But… I really want to see Bickslow, Freed, and Evergreen again. I want to see them actually play a role in the story instead of being single-panel background gags. They don’t need to be the main focus, but I look forward to the possibility of them getting any kind of attention after all this time. And I’d love to see Hiro Mashima draw them again!

It is a mini-series, so I guess their role in the story also depends on how many chapters Mashima plans on writing. If it's around the same length as the Mashima HERO'S manga, which is 10 chapters, I think they have a good chance to be included!

And for those curious, the synopsis for the short-serializations is: "The summer festival will stir up new trouble for Natsu and his friends!!" It sounds really interesting, which makes me even more excited and curious for how Laxus (and hopefully the Raijinshuu 🤞) will be involved and what direction the story will go! It's supposed to start releasing sometime around Late July/August, which is only a few months away! So we’ll just have to wait and see~!

As always, I'll keep this blog updated if any more information is released and when the serialization comes out! So stay tuned ~ ❤︎⁠

Wish me luck y'all

Some people are saying they can see the ring as Frank is sitting in the waiting room (very hard to tell but I get it)

...

My brain in it's weirdness has a theory.

Frank knows Robby as well as anyone. Yes he's clearly trying to hide himself in the waiting room.

Head down hat on.

But these two have known each other for what 4 years? Robby must know what Frank's favourite sports teams are. Even if you are not best friends like Robby claimed in S1 you know enough things about people.

So it's entirely possible that Robby at one point would have recognized Frank even as he masked himself.

So now my mad theory - Frank who is doing his level best to be okay or at least look like he has it together... And operating that Robby might just recognize him. Quickly puts the ring on *just in case*

But the moment that fails he removes it cause in his normal existence he doesn't want to have to lie to himself. He's already going to be doing that for a full shift at least.
