Special Volume 36 package to also come with prologue DVD, postcard set

Japanese book publisher Kodansha began streaming a promotional video for the limited edition of Fairy Tail's volume 36, which will include a copy of the Fairy Tail: Hōō no Miko DVD. Also included will be a special prologue DVD titled “Hajimari no Asa” (The Morning of the Beginning), along with a special postcard set with 16 different postcards. The set is priced at 3,980 yen (about US$46).

The 30-page "Hajimari no Asa" side-story manga that inspired the anime short came bundled with advance tickets to the movie, which opened on August 18 in Japan. (The video above advertised the advance tickets with the manga.) Mashima was in charge of story planning and visual design for the film's all-new plot, and he also drafted the guest character designs and image concept art.
