If you weren’t sure about Hiro Mashima’s feelings about NaLu couple, then here is some more evidence pointing towards his support. Over on Twitter, the artist posted a new comic with the couple in it, and fans are freaking out over its mildly NSFW story.As you can see below, Mashima created this comic after posting a prequel sketch to Twitter. The first image saw Lucy and Natsu enjoy a tipsy dinner together while Happy laid passed out behind them, but this new upload explains what happens after the mages got wasted.
The first page shows Lucy from Natsu’s perspective as the Celestial Wizard gives him a sultry look. With her robe nearly falling down, Natsu looks properly freaked out as he blushes at the sight. However, things take a turn with Lucy sways to the side and passes out. The page ends with Lucy unconscious at Natsu’s feet, and her robe has slipped off her chest though she is face down on the ground.

The second page shows Natsu with a sly grin on his face, but his blush is still very much present. When Lucy is shown waking up the next morning, she looks rather dazed, but her partners are sound asleep beside her. She gets up to join the other girls at the hot spa, and she sheds her robe in one skin-baring panel. Mashima doesn’t leave much to the imagination with his drawing, but all of Lucy’s friends are privy to a sight that makes the girl panic.
The final page reveals that Natsu took a peek at Lucy’s naked body after she passed out so he could draw Happy on her bare skin. The crude sketch puts the cat’s eyeballs on her – well – nipples, and its tail drags further down south. Lucy ends the comic as she runs after Natsu in a towel to berate him for his joke, but fans are more focused on the fact that the hero got an eyeful of Lucy in the buff.
