How Many Fairy Tail Books Are There?
One hundred and sixteen collected volumes, and the sequel is still adding them.
The answer most people want is 63, the volumes of the main series. But the guild's full Japanese bibliography is much larger: a running sequel, a prequel, a short-story collection, and eight spin-off series by other artists bring the collected total to 116 tankōbon as of this census.
The tiles below count every line separately, so the total can be checked rather than trusted. English editions mirror most of it; Kodansha USA has licensed all eight spin-off series as well as the main run and the sequel.
