Its been a year since the anime adaptation of Hiro Mashima’s hit manga “Fairy Tail” last aired new episodes.

Much to the delight of fans all over the world, the 40-year-old Japanese manga artist recently confirmed on Twitter that the final season of the magic-laden series will premiere sometime in 2018.

The news comes after the show’s recent manga wind-down, with Mashima admitting that he had already completed the manga’s final chapter.

The serialized digital copies, expected to be released in late July or early August, will feature a 48-page, double-issue special titled “Irreplaceable Friends.”
