Mashima had asked प्रशंसकों in March to wait until he can announce some "good news" since the first टेलीविज़न ऐनीमे adaptation of Fairy Tail ended that month. Mashima added on Twitter at the time, "It's actually not over yet. I can't say और than this, but I hope आप watch the rerun starting in April and wait for the दिन I can announce some good news. […] ऐनीमे is not the end. Don't stop believing." The series concluded with a "To Be Continued" शीर्षक card.
Mashima also asked प्रशंसकों in English on June 7 to "please wait until अगला week. आप will be surprised." However, that time he was not teasing good news, but talking about not discussing the spoilers in the following week's chapter.
