According to a Twitter message from manga creator Hiro Mashima, his Fairy Tail x Rave crossover manga will get adapted into an anime. The DVD will be bundled with the special edition of Fairy Tail’s 39th manga volume on August 16.

Mashima published the original crossover one-shot manga story in the May issue of Kodansha’s Magazine Special magazine in 2011. The story tells of an odd adventure where the two saga’s main characters Natsu and Haru can’t find their way back and the two main heroines Lucy and Elie become their chasers, ready to find and bring the two disoriented boys back where they belong.

Mashima noted that he is supervising the whole project and it will have more contents than the manga itself. He assured Fairy Tail fans that they can still enjoy the crossover anime even if they have not read Rave yet. He also noted that Musica and Let, two Rave characters who did not appear in the manga version, will be featured in the anime.

Mashima posted Haru’s animation correction sheet below:

Like Fairy Tail, Rave (Rave Master) is another fantasy action manga created by Mashima. It was serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shounen Magazine from July 1999 through July 2005. The series was adapted into a fifty-one episode anime series by Studio Deen. The anime premiered on TBS on October 13, 2001 and ran until September 28, 2002.
