Fairy Tail Creator Releases Cute New Sketch for Wendy

By Nick Valdez

The series creator behind Fairy Tail has briefly returned to the franchise to share a cute new look at Wendy! Hiro Mashima is currently one of the busiest manga creators in the business as not only is he continuing through a full weekly serialization with Edens Zero, but is also contributing to an official sequel to Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest. This is on top of the many projects Mashima also has in the works at the same time as the creator shares multiple character designs for potential new projects. But at the same time, the creator often finds some spare time for fun new sketches of his various characters.

One of the reasons fans have come to love Mashima both in and outside of his released works is that the creator often shows just as much love to his characters as fans often do as well. Because while much of Fairy Tail's general cast have been pushed to the wayside for the sequel, Mahsima often brings them to the spotlight through some fun new sketches shared with fans on Twitter. This is the case for his cute new sketch of Wendy in celebration of Children's Day in Japan, and you can check it out below: 

Wendy is one of the many characters still involved with the events of the Fairy Tail franchise thanks to the release of Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest. Written and storyboarded by Hiro Mashima and illustrated by Atsuo Ueda, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest follows Natsu and a few select members of the Fairy Tail guild while they take on the S-Class ranked mission that no one has ever been able to successfully complete as of the end of the original series. Thankfully, for fans wanting to check out this sequel it will be getting an anime of its own. 

A release date, staff, or production studio has yet to be announced for the Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest anime, so if you wanted to get a jump start on the sequel before the anime makes its debut, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest has been officially licensed by Kodansha Comics, and they describe the sequel series as such, "Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Erza, and the whole Fairy Tail guild are back in action! And they've decided to tackle the '100 Years Quest' – 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 enemy…and a brand new continent to explore. When you're with real friends, the adventures never stop!"
