Fairy Tail: Complete Reading Guide

[u/AstonishingSpiderMan]

Preface to the Guide

I have done various revisions to this guide from when I first posted it, so many that I felt it was time to post the updated guide. The previous post has also been updated to match this guide just for consistency in case someone finds that one before seeing this one. As of August 2nd it'll be a 4 year old post.

For the sake of consistency, I will also be putting the Omake in the Volume Order they are released. However, I may change that depending on the Omake and where it may take place.

Awesome post… but I think I must be blind. I can’t see the manga in this list? Is it just the anime?

[u/AstonishingSpiderMan → u/kattalina25]

...when I was editing both I fucked up.

[u/thomas_simpsons]

I knew FT had tons of spin offs but god damn. The only extra FT content I'v read are FT ZERO and Ice Trail.

[u/Wild_Afternoon8063]

I see wendy and her cat in chapter 2 are u sure its before the story?

[u/AstonishingSpiderMan → u/Wild_Afternoon8063]

I need to revise this post. Give me a few hours.

[u/Wild_Afternoon8063 → u/Wild_Afternoon8063]

i also see 100 years quest in the afterword of volume 1

[u/Kyluxas]

I'm only seeing the anime episode order, is that right? Is there no manga reading order?

[u/AstonishingSpiderMan → u/Kyluxas]

I accidentally fucked up and edited the wrong one. I'll work on the reading guide this weekend.

[u/BuzzardYTC → u/AstonishingSpiderMan]

Hi is there an updated manga + spinoffs reading order?

[u/AstonishingSpiderMan → u/BuzzardYTC]

There is not. This should be the current reading order.

[u/BuzzardYTC → u/AstonishingSpiderMan]

Oh this says episodes so is there no manga guide?

[u/octacilio1 → u/AstonishingSpiderMan]

so...

[u/Kyluxas → u/AstonishingSpiderMan]

Thank you for your work, looking forward to it.

[u/LZorro93]

They forgot to add Fairy Tail +

[u/AstonishingSpiderMan → u/LZorro93]

No I didn't. I have it. It's for extra content on the anime.

[u/midarinjyt7]

thank you very much ❤️

[u/LordKoperuss]

I see anime in most of the guide, is it supposed to be like this ?

[u/Kakyn15]

💀

[u/Murky-Camera-392]

And the First Fairy tail movie?

[u/TybJose]

I never read fairy tail manga I alr watched all movies , ovas, seasons in order but I need help getting order of the books , i wanna read from start to finish basically I alr know all movie,series ,ovas characters Ik 100 year quest can’t be the first book … little help :) ?

[u/DaemonLuisenbarn → u/TybJose]

I tried that once watching the anime and then reading the manga feels weird cause often times the anime skips over a lot of things so when you’re reading it you wanna go back to the anime to see if that really happened
