Production[edit] After finishing his previous work, Rave Master, Hiro Mashima found the story sentimental and sad at the same time, so he wanted the storyline of Fairy Tail to have a "lot of fun [for everyone]". When originally creating the series, Mashima was inspired by magicians and wizards. He based Natsu's motion sickness on one of his friends, who gets sick when taking taxis together.[10] When naming Natsu, Mashima thought western fantasy names would be unfamiliar to Japanese audiences. When writing individual chapters of Fairy Tail, Mashima takes a five-day process: on Monday, the script and storyboards are written. On Tuesday, Mashima writes rough sketches. From Wednesday to Friday, he finishes the drawing and inking on the chapters. Mashima usually begins new chapters after completing the previous ones.[11] For the characters of the series, Mashima drew upon people he has known in his life. In establishing the father-son relationship between Natsu and Igneel, Mashima cited his father's death when he was a child as an influence. Mashima based the humorous aspects of the series on his daily life and jokes his assistants would make.[12] Media[edit] Manga[edit] See also: List of Fairy Tail volumes Written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima, with artwork by him as well,Fairy Tail has been serialized in the manga anthology Weekly Shonen Magazine beginning on August 2, 2006.

Another crossover with Mashima's first series Rave was published in 2011.[13] A special issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine, published on October 19, 2013, featured a small crossover between Fairy Tail and Nakaba Suzuki's The Seven Deadly Sins, where each artist drew a yonkoma (four-panel comic) of the other's series.[14] An actual crossover chapter between these two ran in the magazines' combined 4/5 issue of 2014, which was released on December 25, 2013.[15] The series was licensed for an English-language release in North America by Del Rey Manga.[16] The company released the first volume of the series on March 25, 2008 and continued until the release of the 12th volume in September 2010. After Del Rey Manga shut down,[17] Kodansha Comics USA acquired the license and began publishing Fairy Tail volumes in May 2011.[5] 53 English-language volumes have been published.

Yukino attempts to cheer him up by baking him Float Cookies; the next day Yukino is late in arriving to the guild, and when she ultimately does arrive, Sting notices almost immediately notices that she is an imposter when she acts out of character. The real is Yukino is revealed to have been kidnapped by the Guild Master of the Dark Guild Abyss Horn to use her Magic to revive an ancient magical weapon named Allocer. Sting arrives before they can harm her and defeats the Dark Guild all by his lonesome. Obstone ArcEdit Some time later, Sting and Rogue get into an argument over Sting's disregard for Frosch's feelings, prompting the latter Dragon Slayer to disband the Twin Dragons. Sting then takes Yukino on a mission to destroy a golem plaguing the mines of a town called Obstone that he was supposed to take with Rogue, however after they arrive, Sting's Magic is suppressed upon destroying the golem (leading to his collapse) while Yukino is attacked by the villagers. Sting is eventually confronted by the mayor of the town while escaping the mine, but the mayor is revealed to be a young man in disguise (named Topaz) who desires to steal Sting's Dragon Lacrima. Concurrently, Yukino manages to fend off the villagers, sans one little girl (Dia), who is revealed to be controlling them with her Magic (and the younger sister Topaz) and even takes control of Pisces to force them to attack Yukino; at the last second she is saved by Minerva, who reveals that they are not in Obstone, but a fake town carefully constructed to resemble it. Minerva effortlessly defeats Dia while Sting can do nothing to protect himself or Lector from Topaz due to the suppression of his Magic. Before his Lacrima can be stolen, however, Rogue arrives to save him, and after Topaz realizes that the Dragon Slaying Barrier that saps their powers is no longer erect, he becomes furious and proceeds to use what little Dragon Slaying Magic he did steal against the Twin Dragons. The Twin Dragons make quick work of the golems that Topaz summons, however before long he clads himself into stone from the mine, taking the shape of a Dragon. As Dragon Slayers, Sting and Rogue proceed to "slay" him, destroying the rock that covers him, and leaving Topaz amazed at how powerful they are as real Dragon Slaying Mages. After the battle, Topaz reveals to Sting and Rogue that he had always loved Dragons, and studied ways in which he could become one, but that with his defeat at their hands, his dream has ended and he has become empty. Sting tells Topaz to stop with his talk, as all he has to do is fill his emptiness with happy memories, remarking that he couldn't have been all alone his entire life. Dia, Minerva and Yukino then show up, where Topaz apologizes to Dia for his treatment of her. The Sabertooth Mages soon leave and head to the real Obstone, where they spend the precious gems Minerva collected from the false Obstone on a relaxing evening in a hot spring. While there, Sting and Rogue bicker over public mannerisms and "disband" the Twin Dragons yet again, causing Minerva, who is bathing in the adjacent spring with Yukino, to remark that Sting and Rogue never learn their lessons.
