Shonen anime is usually concerned with battles, power levels, and goofy gags. But another staple of shonen is the romantic element, or at least a hint of it between the protagonist and the one who serves as the best girl.

Battles are a big part of what makes shonen anime exciting, and these epic fights delivered more than any other.
Fairy Tail is no different, but it goes a little further in playing with the romantic lives of several of the major actors involved in the show. Some of the pairings are locked in without any misunderstandings, while other pairings may need a bit of speculation. Who is the best couple? Well, there are “a few” top contenders.
7 Alzack and Bisca Connell
The most stable couple on the show

Bisca and Alzack are both experienced members of Fairy Tail and are the most stable couple in the series. In fact, they even get married and have a child together, whom the other Fairy Tail members meet when they return from Tenrou Island.
Even though they are a great and stable couple, they will be low on the best couples list because there is little emotional investment in their relationship. Alzack and Bisca have been together since the beginning, which means fans haven't really experienced all the things that brought them together. This means that the two clearly love each other and are committed to raising a happy and 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 became friendlier in the series. While Evergreen is somewhat vain and very concerned about his appearance, Elfman is more of a mass who is obsessed with his masculinity.

They make an unlikely pair, but cute nonetheless. While they're a great couple, it's kind of unfortunate that fans don't see this relationship develop enough to truly be one of the best.
5 Zeref and Mavis
Love defined by tragedy

Name of the couple |
Zervis |
|

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 might seem impossible for such a pair to form a pair, that is exactly what happened.
Zeref and Mavis care deeply for each other with a bond strengthened by their shared suffering. The two of them have been through so much and it will hit even harder when it turns out that the two of them couldn't be together in this world. They would end up killing each other in the end, leaving the viewer to imagine what could have been. Maybe together they will find happiness in a big way beyond the borders.
4 Natsu and Lucy
The one everyone wishes he could be
|
Relationship status |
Someday, hopefully |
|
Name of the couple |
NaLu |

Fairy Tail is such that the show's story is told from Lucy's point of view. Sure, Natsu is the protagonist, but he's not the narrator. The pair got along really well from the very first episode, and that relationship only 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 they're not quite an item yet because there's no real declaration and what everyone's gotten so far are hints (big hints) that the two could be a thing . 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 |
George |
|
State |
Alive |
Erza Scarlet and Jellal Fernandez look like they belong together. Another pair that isn't strictly official, but with all the signs pointing to it. 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 performances to back it up.
The shared childhood trauma for the two is another point they share, with their bitter experiences far from formulating who they are. At heart, Erza and Jellal are two broken souls who find healing in the causes they fight for and the friends they make. He deserves a chance at happiness.
2 Gajeel and Levy
Brains and brawn…just not in one person
|
Relationship status |
Dating |
|
Name of the couple |
Gays |
|
State |
Alive |
If Gajeel and Levy ever tell their love story to their children, it will be hard to talk about their first meeting. This is because Gajeel beat up Levy along with two of her friends, leaving them strung up and unconscious. Many never got over it, but Levy did and raised no real objections when Gajeel joined Fairy Tail and accepted him as a guild member.

Fairy Tail is famous for its jovial tone, but even this series has its disturbing moments.
It's a testament to Gajeel's growth that many fans were also able to see into 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 shown in the fight against Bloodman, where Gajeel “dies” and confesses his love for Levy, which is surely one of the most touching moments in Fairy Tail.
1 Juvia and Grey
Juvia fell in love at first sight

|
Name of the couple |
Gruvia |

Alive |
Juvia was originally a mage with Phantom Lord before joining Fairy Tail along with Gajeel. She instantly fell in love with Gray, laid eyes on him and has been obsessed with the ice mage ever since.
Fortunately, it's not a one-sided love as Gray also likes Juvia, especially since his rival Lyon has shown interest in her as well. Gray and Juvia are a great couple for several reasons. For one thing, their aesthetics match, because the idea of an ice mage and a water mage are complementary. They happen to fight really well together, and their battle against Invel where they both stab each other instead of fighting the other is a standout moment in Fairy Tail.
