Until the time comes, I cannot say something I’ve always wanted to say, even on Twitter. Please be patient and wait until the time comes for me to announce some good news.Crunchyroll has been streaming the Fairy Tail series as it airs in Japan. Funimation released the anime’s fourth part on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in North America in February 2012. Del Rey published 12 volumes of the original manga in North America, and Kodansha resumed publishing the manga with the 13th volume in 2011. The 38th volume of the manga will include an original anime DVD in a special-edition bundle in Japan on June 17.

During a daring rescue, Lucy encounters Natsu “Salamander” Dragneel, a quirky Fairy Tail member and a teenaged practitioner of the ancient Dragon Slayer magic. Lucy is eventually welcomed into the Fairy Tail guild as she, Natsu, and other members go on various quests together.
