Summary

The adventure is over but life goes on for an elf mage just beginning to learn what living is all about。

Elf mage Frieren and her courageous fellow adventurers have defeated the Demon King and brought peace to the land。 But Frieren will long outlive the rest of her former party。 How will she come to understand what life means to the people around her?

An old enemy returns as Frieren continues her journey north。 Decades ago, Frieren and her party defeated Aura the Guillotine, a great demon, one of the Seven Sages of Destruction, and a servant of the Demon King。 Now Aura is back with a score to settle。 But what price did Frieren pay for victory in the past, and how will the choices she made then affect the present?

Man this book is good。 It is filled with so many touching and beautiful human moments。 Now we are also getting more story and adventure。 This is a fantasy story worthy of your time and is a surprise hit。 It is becoming one of my favorite reads。

Frieren and her band are still fighting the demons and Frieren’s struggle with Aura leaves her life literally in the balance。 Then, the action moves to the north and the past continues to echo toward the present in ways both small and not so much。Shonen heroes come out guns blazing, powers flying, and bold as can be。 They fight hammer and tongs with their foes and vanquish them in as flashy a means as possible and use all the power they can muster。 Just like the demons in this story。 Yes, there’ Frieren and her band are still fighting the demons and Frieren’s struggle with Aura leaves her life literally in the balance。 Then, the action moves to the north and the past continues to echo toward the present in ways both small and not so much。Shonen heroes come out guns blazing, powers flying, and bold as can be。 They fight hammer and tongs with their foes and vanquish them in as flashy a means as possible and use all the power they can muster。 Just like the demons in this story。 Yes, there’s nothing like an inverted trope and we learn via flashback that Frieren’s mentor had no qualms about fighting dirty and using any means to win。 To make a story more than a basic heroism story, you need to make it clear that these characters are fighting for their lives。 The demons have no concept of guile, which subtly reinforces their inhumanity, and they aren’t prepared for a hero who isn’t playing by the rules。Part of what makes these stories so enjoyable is that when it counts, these characters feel like heroes。 Frieren grew to be what she is today, but it has been a journey worth following。 We see that Stark had his own issues and his own loss that make for clear character motivations。 But Frieren is the link between past and present and having that link be an actual character has constantly paid off for this title。And the way this new band is slowly forming beneath Frieren, a somewhat unwilling standard bearer for the previous heroes, is expected, but no less interesting for it。 The concept of legacy and the hero’s journey looms large in both the fore and background (including a surprising little reveal about the idea of fate that snubs its nose wonderfully at genre clichés)。It’s especially nice the way that these non-human species don’t feel just like humans with the serial numbers filed off, as I alluded to with the demons。 Frieren’s very different concept of time never fails to make her interesting and part of the story is her growing up a little more, even with her age many times over that of her companions。 And hero or no, her concept of justice is as swift and brutal as it gets。Even with that, the book remains funny, poor Stark being called a pervert for no particularly good reason other than an off-hand boob joke and then Frieren’s general cluelessness about gifts only making things worse。 The ridiculous potion in this one is a silly running gag and drives Fern to no end of indignation。The art is also really strong, packing details into backgrounds and characters that beg for a good, long look at all the little moments。 This title has some of the best vignettes of any manga I’ve read and the passage of time brings with it any number of clever delights。Not much by way of complaints - I’m not a huge fan of big winter scenes, but all the snow stuff in this one was really strong。 Fern basically has to play mom to the other two, but it doesn’t make for a bad book。 It’s just serious enough and lets its hair down just enough。5 stars - I love this series。 I love, love, love it。 There’s a charm and warmth and a thoughtfulness to it that puts it above and beyond many shonen titles, even with some odd jokes here and there。 It will undoubtedly flag a little at some point, but this is currently an all-time top five title for me。 。。。more

This is such a great series。 I love the slow reveal into Frieren's character and backstory, it contrasts the growth she’s been exploring with her growing new party。 Fern is so funny with her deadpan lines。 I can’t wait for the next volume!

A solid third entry in this fun take on what happens after the grand adventure is over。 All the new characters were a treat to meet and getting to learn more about Frieren’s past gives her character even more depth。 Looking forward to the next one!

Ho appena finito il volume 2 e 3 e posso dire di essere davvero felice di aver iniziato questa storia!Fin ora mi è sembrata una storia davvero carina, senza troppe pretese, che affronta il "dopo" dell'avventura。 Che diventa esso stesso una nuova avventura。È leggero e divertente ma in alcune parti anche profondo e impegnativo, mi ha anche fatto scendere una lacrimuccia un paio di volte。。。 Ho appena finito il volume 2 e 3 e posso dire di essere davvero felice di aver iniziato questa storia!Fin ora mi è sembrata una storia davvero carina, senza troppe pretese, che affronta il "dopo" dell'avventura。 Che diventa esso stesso una nuova avventura。È leggero e divertente ma in alcune parti anche profondo e impegnativo, mi ha anche fatto scendere una lacrimuccia un paio di volte。。。 。。。more

29 years have elapsed since the Hero Himmel's passing maaan。。 this line gets me every time。 I thought this would be a page-turner。 It's not, it takes some time。 But that's ok cuz my God this manga is good。 It looks like a debut manga to me, and maybe it is I don't really know。 It lacks characterization, some dialogues are kinda weird (although this can be just bad translation)。 The art style isn't all that either, it's average, cute。 Thematically tho。。。 10/10 story。 The narrative goes between pr 29 years have elapsed since the Hero Himmel's passing maaan。。 this line gets me every time。 I thought this would be a page-turner。 It's not, it takes some time。 But that's ok cuz my God this manga is good。 It looks like a debut manga to me, and maybe it is I don't really know。 It lacks characterization, some dialogues are kinda weird (although this can be just bad translation)。 The art style isn't all that either, it's average, cute。 Thematically tho。。。 10/10 story。 The narrative goes between present and past, and helps us to see Frieren's growth, making me love this character more and more each volume。I'm still in love with the concept, and Frieren's quest to find Heaven is just compelling as it is intriguing。 Never though high fantasy could be this kind of cozy。。。 almost like an iyashikei。 。。。more

Sousou no Frieren is a fantasy adventure manga that saw release in 2020 and has established itself firmly in my reading list for fantasy。 It has become a weekly release to look forward to, and perhaps an official English edition might arrive soon for it as well。 It's the story of Frieren, a long-lived elf mage on a quest to retrace the steps her former party took when they subjugated the demon lord。 However, this time, she's accompanied by legacies of her former party members, and at the end of Sousou no Frieren is a fantasy adventure manga that saw release in 2020 and has established itself firmly in my reading list for fantasy。 It has become a weekly release to look forward to, and perhaps an official English edition might arrive soon for it as well。 It's the story of Frieren, a long-lived elf mage on a quest to retrace the steps her former party took when they subjugated the demon lord。 However, this time, she's accompanied by legacies of her former party members, and at the end of this quest is for her to come grips with the loss of her former party and reminiscing their time together。 For a fantasy story, it's a feels train, with both poignant and bittersweet memories, and some humorous ones as well。The mage Frieren can be a klutz most of the times, because she gets distracted by her own magic research, and being a long-lived elf, she perceives time differently and often lingers too long in a moment, much to the chagrin of her party who want to complete the quest to return as soon as possible to their old lives。 This way, she most often misunderstood and underestimated, and this volume shows how powerful she can be in her magic。This is a great volume, because it contains the continuation and conclusion of its best arc yet, which started in volume two。 I really enjoyed this one, and this reading it weekly then , the anticipation and tension just built up until the climax。 This volume pretty much proved that this series is for real。 。。。more
