Mashima had asked অনুরাগী in March to wait until he can announce some "good news" since the first টেলিভিশন জীবন্ত adaptation of Fairy Tail ended that month. Mashima added on Twitter at the time, "It's actually not over yet. I can't say আরো than this, but I hope আপনি watch the rerun starting in April and wait for the দিন I can announce some good news. […] জীবন্ত is not the end. Don't stop believing." The series concluded with a "To Be Continued" শিরোনাম card.
Mashima also asked অনুরাগী in English on June 7 to "please wait until পরবর্তি week. আপনি will be surprised." However, that time he was not teasing good news, but talking about not discussing the spoilers in the following week's chapter.
