The 27th volume of Fairy Tail will be bundled with the 2nd Anime DVD, as confirmed on Thursday on the official Japanese website. The volume will ship out on June 17. The DVD contains a 25-minute anime adaptation of the manga side story “Yousei Gakuen Yankee-kun to Yankee-chan”.

In the story, Mashima makes a parody of another Weekly Shonen Magazine manga, Miki Yoshikawa’s Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, by putting the Fairy Tail characters in a school comedy setting. The manga side story was published in the Sorceror booklet that was bundled with the limited edition of the 16th Fairy Tail manga volume.

Besides the DVD, the special edition of the 27th manga volume will include the original “Yōsei Gakuen Yankee-kun to Yankee-chan” manga side story in a separately bound booklet, as well as an exclusive alternate cover drawn by Mashima.

The first anime DVD will shipped out with the 26th manga volume on April 15.

Too lazy to catch up reading on the manga – currently watching the anime series and so far each arc is quite long and draggy, but I am enjoying each episode! Doubt that I will bother to read the manga unless I am left with some major cliffhanger and I can’t wait till the next week  >_<.
