It has been almost a month since Fairy Tail's final manga chapter was released, with many fans sanded that the anime has come to an end. Although, fans are hopeful that there may be more Fairy Tail to come in the future, as Dragon Ball Super has returned after so many years. However, after seeing what Fairy Tail's Hiro Mashima's work is like only a month after the series ended, it makes you wonder what it would be like in a few years.

Only weeks after Mashima's Fairy Tail had ended, it seems as if the creator and illustrator of the series may be forgetting how to draw the most crucial character of the series in Natsu. In a Tweet, the man himself released shows the Dragon Slayer Natsu looking nothing like he did a few months earlier.

This was the first attempt that Mashima took to see if he still had it in him, after only a small break away from his hit series. Like all skills, the longer you go without practicing them, the quicker they diminish. However, it hasn't really been long enough for Mashima to forget how to draw Natsu that quickly. As a result, Mashima had another shot at sketching his popular main character, with a much better result.

Fairy Tail's manga has run from 2006 and ended on July 26th this year, with Mashima's work has inspired a popular animated series and two animated feature films. Although it is the end now for Mashima's work, the manga illustrator has left room for a sequel in the future, which you can read here.

You can check out Kodansha Comics' summary of Fairy Tail below:

"Cute girl wizard Lucy wants to join the Fairy Tail, a club for the most powerful wizards. But instead her ambitions land her in the clutches of a gang of unsavory pirates led by a devious magician. Her only hope is Natsu, a strange boy she happens to meet on her travels. Natsu's not your typical hero—he gets motion sickness, eats like a pig, and his best friend is a talking cat. With friends like this, is Lucy better off with her enemies?"

If you are not familiar with Fairy Tail, then it is about time you familiarized yourself with the story. The series follows a guild of young, powerful wizards who call Fairy Tail family. Set in a fictional Earth, a boy named Natsu teams up with an unlikely friend Lucy Heartfilia as the latter dreams of becoming a powerful wizard. To date, there are more than 250 episodes of the acclaimed series, and fans can expect more to come in the new year.

To date, several million copies of Fairy Tail have been sold worldwide. Published by Del Ray in the west, there are over 35 million volumes of the manga in circulation at the moment. Kodansha Comics is now overseeing the release of Fairy Tail projects in the U.S. and other western territories, and the licensing return has helped the publisher amass popularity. Other series like Attack on Titan have also helped bolster Kodansha's visibility outside of Japan, so fans can expect the company to continue pushing out new content as it becomes available.
