Shonen anime is usually about battles, power levels, and silly gags. But another element of shonen is the romantic element, or at least a hint of it, between the main character and the one who serves as the best girl.

Battles are a huge part of what makes shonen anime exciting, and these epic battles deliver more than any other.
Fairy Tail is no different, but even goes a little further by playing up the romantic lives of several actors involved in the show. Some of the pairings are locked in without any misunderstandings, while some of the other pairings may require a bit of guesswork. Who is the best couple? Well, there are “a couple” of top contenders.
7 Alzac and Biscoe Connell
The most stable couple in the series

Name of the couple |
Albis |

Alive |
Bisca and Alzak are Fairy Tail veterans and are the most consistent pairing in the series. In fact, they even marry and have a child together, whom the other Fairy Tail members meet when they return from Tenru Island.
Being a great and stable couple, they would rank low on the best couples list because there is little emotional investment in their relationship. Alzac and Bisco have been together since the beginning, meaning fans didn't really get to experience all of the things that brought them together in the first place. However, 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
Relationship status |
Dating (strongly implied) |
Name of the couple |
Elf Green |
State |
Alive |
Evergreen is a member of the thunder god tribe along with Freed and Bixlow. They originally started out as villains, but became friendlier in the show. While Evergreen is somewhat vain and very concerned about her looks, Elfman is more of a head who is obsessed with her manhood.

They make an unlikely couple, but a cute one nonetheless. While they are a great couple, it's a shame that fans don't get enough development on this relationship to really make it one of the best.
5 Zeref and Mavis
A love defined by tragedy
Relationship status |
Acquaintance |
Name of the couple |
Zervis |
State |
The deceased |
Zeref is one of the main antagonists of the Fairy Tail story, and Mavis is the brilliant first master of the Fairy Tail Guild. While it may seem impossible for such a couple to mate, that's exactly what happened.
Zeref and Mavis care deeply for each other, and their bond, strengthened by their shared suffering, is deeply caring. Both have been through so much, and it's even stronger when it's revealed that they can't be together in this world. In the end, they finish each other off, and the viewer is left to imagine what could have been. Perhaps they will find happiness together in a distant world.
4 Natsu and Lucy
The one that everyone wants to happen
Relationship status |
Someday, I hope |
Name of the couple |
On Lu |
State |
Alive |
In Fairy Tail, the story of the show is told from Lucy's point of view. Sure, Natsu is the main character, but not the narrator. The pair got along really well from the very first episode, and that relationship deepened with all the adventures they went on together.

Sometimes the best pairings are the ones that seem the most unlikely.
While this might be the best relationship in the series, the problem is that it's not quite an item yet because there hasn't been any real announcement and what everyone's gotten so far are hints (big hints ) that they might be a thing. But no one can forget how angry Natsu gets when someone does something to Lucy.
3 Erza and Geral
A perfect match
Relationship status |
It's complicated |
Name of the couple |
Priest |
State |
Alive |
Erza Scarlet and Gerald Fernandez look like they belong together. Another pair that is not strictly official, but with all the hints of it. The two make something of a power couple as they are the two strongest wizards in the entire show and both have the feats to back it up.
The shared childhood trauma for these two is another point they own, and their bitter experiences go a long way in shaping the kind of people they are. Deep down, Erza and Jeral are two broken souls who find healing in the causes they fight for and the friends they make. They deserve a shot at happiness.
2 Gajeel and Levi
Brains and brawn…just not in one person
Relationship status |
Acquaintance |
Name of the couple |
Gaevy |
State |
Alive |
If Gajeel and Levi ever tell their love story to their children, it will be hard to talk about their first meeting. This is due to Gajeel beating Levi along with her two friends and leaving them unconscious. Many never get over it, but Levi did without any real objection when Gajeel joined Fairy Tail and accepted him as a member of the guild.

Fairy Tail is known for its cheerful tone, but even this series has its cringeworthy moments.
It's a testament to Gajeel's growth that many fans were also able to see into Gajeel's past and root for his relationship with Levi as they slowly began to fall for each other. The extent of their feelings is revealed in the fight against Bloodman, where Gajeel “dies” and confesses his love for Levi, which is definitely one of the most moving moments in Fairy Tail.
1 Juvia and Gray
Juvia fell in love at first sight
Relationship status |
Acquaintance |
The name of the couple |
Gruvia |
State |
Alive |
Juvia was originally a Phantom Lord mage before joining Fairy Tail with Gajeel. She fell in love with Gray the moment she saw his eyes and has been obsessed with the ice wizard ever since.
Fortunately, it's not a one-sided love as Gray also loves Juvia, especially when his rival Lyon has also shown interest in her. Gray and Juvia are a great couple for several reasons. On the one hand, their aesthetics match, as the idea of an ice mage and a water mage complement each other. They also fight really well together, and their battle against Invel, where they both stabbed each other instead of fighting the other, is a great Fairy Tail moment.
