On these recap pages, all spoilers will be unmarked! You Have Been Warned!
Welcome to the recap page for the manga / anime series, Fairy Tail.
As Fairy Tail is a very long series with many chapters and episodes, it’d be rather hard to see through the various plotlines and character motivations by just the chapter and episode recaps. For these reasons, the summaries of arcs and tropes related to the specific episodes or arcs should go to the appropriate recap pages.
The only thing we ask of contributors is not to be overly-detailed in the summary (listing word for word conversations, play by play of the fights, etc). Otherwise please contribute.
