Shonen anime are typically interested in battles, power levels, and silly gags. But another staple of shonen is the romantic element, or at least the hint of one between the protagonist and whoever the best girlfriend is.

Battles are a big part of what makes shonen anime exciting, and these epic fights were more than any other.
Fairy Tail is no different, but it also goes a little further by playing with the romantic lives of many of the great casts involved in the show. Some couples are stuck without any misunderstanding, while some other couples may need a little speculation. Who is the best couple? Well, there are a “couple” of top contenders.

Bisca and Alzack are both veteran members of Fairy Tail and are the most stable couple in the series. In fact, they even get married and have a child together who the other Fairy Tail members meet when they return from Tenrou Island.
While they are a great and stable couple, they will rank low on the list of best couples as there is little emotional investment in their relationship. Alzack and Bisca have been together since the beginning, meaning fans didn't get to experience all the things that brought them together in the first place. That said, the two clearly love each other and are determined to raise a happy, healthy child together.
6 Elfman and evergreen
A classic case of opposites attracting

Evergreen is a member of the Thunder God tribe along with Fried and Bickslow. They originally started out as villains, but in the show they became friendlier. While Evergreen is a bit vain and very concerned with his appearance, Elfman is more of an idiot obsessed with his masculinity.

They make an unlikely, but still cute, couple. While they are a great couple, it's a bit of a shame that fans don't get enough development of that relationship for it to truly be one of the best.
5 Zeref and Mavis
A love defined by tragedy

Zervis |

Zeref is one of the main antagonists in the Fairy Tail story and Mavis is the genius first master of the Fairy Tail Guild. While it might seem impossible for such a couple to form a couple, that's exactly what happened.
Zeref and Mavis care deeply for each other with a bond strengthened by their shared suffering. The two have been through a lot, and it hits even harder when it's revealed that the two couldn't be together in this world. They would eventually finish each other off leaving the viewer to imagine what could have been. Maybe they will find happiness together in the afterlife.
4 Natsu and Lucia
What everyone wants to happen

Fairy Tail is such that the story of the show is told from Lucy's point of view. Sure, Natsu is the protagonist, but he's not the narrator. The two have gotten along very well since the first episode and that relationship has deepened with all the adventures they have had together.

Sometimes the best matches are the ones that seem most unlikely.
While this might be the best relationship of the series, the problem is that they aren't quite together yet since there hasn't been a real statement and what everyone has gotten so far are hints (big hints) that the two might be an item . But no one can forget how angry Natsu gets when someone does something to Lucy.
3 Erza and Jellal
A perfect match

It's complicated |
Name of the couple |
Jerza |

Erza Scarlet and Jellal Fernandez look like they belong together. Another couple that is not strictly official but with all the clues pointing in this direction. The two make something of a power couple, as they are two of the most powerful wizards in the entire show and both have the skills to back it up.
Shared childhood trauma for the two is another thing they co-own, with their bitter experiences going a long way towards formulating the kind of people they are. At their core, Erza and Jellal are two broken souls who find healing in the causes they fight for and the friends they have amassed. They deserve a chance at happiness.
2 Gajeel and Levy
Brains and brawn…but not in one person
Relationship status |

Name of the couple |
Gajevy |

If Gajeel and Levy ever tell their love story to their children, it will be difficult to talk about their first meeting. This is because Gajeel beat up Levy along with two of his friends leaving them hanging and unconscious. Many never move on, but Levy did, raising no objections when Gajeel joined Fairy Tail and accepted him as a member of the guild.

Fairy Tail is renowned for its jovial tone, but this series also has its off-putting moments.
It's a testament to Gajeel's growth that many fans were also able to look past Gajeel's past and support his relationship with Levy as the two slowly began to fall for each other. The extent of their feelings is highlighted in the fight against Bloodman in which Gajeel “dies” and confesses his love for Levy, certainly one of the most touching moments of Fairy Tail.
1 Juvia and Gray
Juvia fell in love at first sight

Name of the couple |
Gruvia |

Juvia was originally a Phantom Lord sorceress before joining Fairy Tail alongside Gajeel. She fell in love with Gray as soon as she laid eyes on him and has been obsessed with the ice wizard ever since.
Fortunately, this is not a one-sided love as Gray is also interested in Juvia, especially when his rival, Lyon, has also declared interest in her. Gray and Juvia are a great couple for several reasons. For one thing, their aesthetic matches as the idea of an ice mage with a water mage is complementary. They also happen to fight very well together and their battle against Invel when they both stab each other instead of fighting the other is a standout moment in Fairy Tail.
