Fairy Tail series creator is celebrating Juvia Day with some cute new art of Juvia Lockser shared with fans! While Fairy Tail ended its main series run some time ago (although there is a manga sequel keeping the story going to this day), many fans are still keeping it alive by celebrating some of their major favorites. This has led to holidays like special days set for each of the characters, and this Summer has kicked off a whole new wave of this such as the day honoring Juvia that fans have been floating around for several years.

The Juvia Day holiday might have been celebrated on different days among fans, but Mashima helped to cement the fact that ever June 3rd is Juvia’s special day with some special new art of the heroine herself. She might have been seen in action in the original series, but Mashima often shares a whole new side of her with special art with fans shared on Twitter. This is especially true with the newest sketch for the heroine this year, and you can check it out below:ย 

Thankfully Juvia is one of the many familiar faces who end up making their return to the series in the pages of the official sequel,ย Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest.ย This sequel manga series has been running at a steady clip thanks to storyboards provided by Hiro Mashima (that are then fully illustrated by his former assistant, Atsuo Ueda), and has become such a success in its own right that it is getting an anime of its own. The potential release date, staff, or production studio has yet to be announced for the sequel anime as of this writing, unfortunately.ย 

If you wanted to get a jump start on the sequel before the anime makes its debut,ย Fairy Tail: 100 Years Questย has been officially licensed by Kodansha Comics. They describe the sequel series as such, “Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Erza,ย and the whole Fairy Tail guild are back in action! And they’ve decided to tackle the ‘100 Years Quest‘ โ€“ a job no one’s dared take on since the founding of the guild more than a century ago. A mysterious town, a baffling spirit, a ghastly new enemyโ€ฆand a brand new continent to explore. When you’re with real friends, the adventures never stop!”
