This year’s 41st issue of Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine published the 500th chapter of Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail manga on Wednesday.
The manga follows the adventures of world’s most notorious mage guild, Fairy Tail.
The franchise’s first anime film, Fairy Tail the Movie: Phoenix Priestess, opened in Japan on August 18, 2012, and Mashima announced a second film in May 2015.
To commemorate the milestone, the magazine is holding a lottery where up to 500 readers can win color reproductions of art from the manga.
