Fairy Tail is now in the works on a major comeback with a new revival series, and the creator behind it all is teasing that Natsu and Lucy might think of one another as more than friends. Fairy Tail is now in the midst of celebrating the 20th anniversary of its original debut with Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine, and series creator Hiro Mashima is helping to kick things off in a big way with all sorts of special appearances throughout Japan to celebrate. And now he’s sparked all sorts of new theories about its central duo.
Hiro Mashima, the creator of Fairy Tail, recently addressed the question of whether Natsu and Lucy have romantic feelings for each other. According to a translation by @miggyxmarie, Mashima didn’t directly confirm a romantic connection, even with the sequel series now out. However, he hinted that Natsu and Lucy see each other as more than just friends, offering some encouragement to fans who hope they become a couple.
Do Natsu and Lucy Love Each Other in Fairy Tail?
The manga series Fairy Tail finished almost ten years ago, leaving fans wondering if Natsu and Lucy would eventually become a couple. While they were very close, their relationship was never officially confirmed. The series did develop romantic relationships for other characters, and the sequel, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, even showed some of those couples having children. This included versions of Natsu and Lucy from an alternate universe.
But Natsu and Lucy remained friends throughout the entirety of Fairy Tail‘s original series, and continues to do so with Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest. Mashima did offer hope with this update, however, as he teased, “This isn’t written clearly in the story but I think that they mutually think of each other as more than friends.” It’s far from Mashima outright confirming their romance, but it’s thankfully far from denying its potential to exist either. It’s something fans hope to see explored more when Mashima returns to Fairy Tail later this Summer.
Fairy Tail Re:FANTASIA Revival Begins July 2026
Fairy Tail Re:FANTASIA is a brand new serialization from Hiro Mashima coming to Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine on July 29th. This will be a short-term series bringing Mashima back to the franchise for both its art and story for the first time since the original manga ended nearly a decade ago. It’s yet to be revealed exactly what fans can expect to see from the new revival series, and that’s even more curious considering that a sequel is also ongoing at this time as well.
The exact length of the Fairy Tail Re:FANTASIA series isn’t known yet, but its creator, Mashima, has paused work on his other series, Dead Rock, until later this year. This suggests Fairy Tail‘s revival will probably only last a few weeks or months, meaning fans can expect to see more of Natsu and Lucy soon. There’s even a possibility of a romantic development between them!
