The Fairy Tail franchise is in its 20th anniversary year, with a new miniseries titled Fairy Tail Re:Fantasia launching on July 29, 2026, and a wave of premium merchandise including 1/4 scale bunny figures and a MASTERLISE Ichiban Kuji lottery.
Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail franchise is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a new manga miniseries and a coordinated merchandise push. The miniseries, titled Fairy Tail Re:Fantasia, was announced on June 7, 2026, and will launch in the 35th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine on July 29, 2026. The publication date was moved forward one week from its original August 5 slot because Mashima completed draft manuscripts faster than the editorial department expected. The miniseries is a short-term serialization centered on S-Class mage Laxus Dreyar, marking the first time a new Fairy Tail manga from Mashima has focused on a supporting character rather than Natsu and the core team.
Merchandise releases have accompanied the anniversary. FREEing has produced two 1/4 scale bunny figures: a Mirajane Strauss figure scheduled for December 31, 2026, and a Wendy Marvel figure scheduled for January 31, 2027, both priced at 38,500 yen. Bandai Spirits announced a Fairy Tail 20th Anniversary Ichiban Kuji lottery featuring MASTERLISE figures of Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Happy, and Erza Scarlet, with draws starting October 3, 2026. Kodansha also released new Fairy Tail art for its KODANSHA HOUSE 2026 pop-up event in Los Angeles, running from July 2 to July 12, 2026, alongside Anime Expo.

Hiro Mashima announced on June 7 that his new Fairy Tail miniseries is titled Fairy Tail Re:Fantasia. The short-term serialization will launch in the 35th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, shipping on July 29. The announcement came via Mashima's X account, where he shared the title and a logo. In a subsequent interview conducted in France, Mashima revealed that the miniseries will center on Laxus Dreyar, an S-Class mage of the Fairy Tail guild. He described the story as "stunning" but declined to share further details, citing the presence of his editors. The miniseries is part of the franchise's 20th anniversary celebrations. The original Fairy Tail manga ran from 2006 to 2017, spanning 545 chapters, and has sold over 72 million copies. It has inspired multiple anime series, films, and spin-offs. The publication date was originally set for August 5 but was moved forward by one week due to Mashima's rapid progress on the manuscript, according to the magazine's editorial department.
Bandai Spirits announced a new Ichiban Kuji lottery for the 20th anniversary of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail manga, with a lineup of MASTERLISE figures. The A Prize is Natsu Dragneel, the B Prize is Lucy Heartfilia, and the C Prize is Happy. The Last One Prize, awarded to the person who pulls the final ticket, is a MASTERLISE figure of Erza Scarlet. Each draw costs 850 yen including tax. The lottery will be released sequentially at stores starting October 3, 2026. Additional prizes beyond these four figures have not yet been announced. The lottery is produced by Bandai Spirits' Lottery Innovation Division and is part of the Ichiban Kuji Club program.
Hiro Mashima's new Fairy Tail miniseries will launch one week earlier than planned, now set for the 35th issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine on July 29. The announcement came via the official X account for Mashima's works on May 12, 2026. The miniseries was originally scheduled for the combined issue 36/37 on August 5. The editorial department cited two reasons for the change: scheduling circumstances within the magazine, and Mashima completing draft manuscripts at a pace far exceeding editorial expectations. The miniseries is part of the franchise's 20th anniversary celebration and will feature a new story centered on Natsu and the Fairy Tail guild. This marks the first time Mashima has personally drawn a new Fairy Tail serialization since the original manga ended in July 2017. The original Fairy Tail manga launched in 2006 and ran for 545 chapters, inspiring multiple anime seasons, films, and spin-offs including the ongoing Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest sequel.
