Learn more about the anime's storyline below:
The mage Frieren defeated the Demon King alongside the hero Himmel's party after a 10-year quest. Peace was restored to the kingdom. Because she is an elf, she is able to live over a thousand years. She promises Himmel and the others that she will be back to see them and then sets out on a journey by herself. Fifty years later, Frieren goes to visit Himmel and the others. She remained unchanged, but Himmel and the others have aged and only a little of their lives remain. Later, she witnesses Himmel's death. Frieren is pained by her desire to have spent more time getting to know people. With that regret in her heart, she then goes on a journey to do just that. On her journey, she meets many people and many events await her.
Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe's original Frieren: Beyond Journey's End manga debuted in Shonen Sunday Comics in April 2020, and 10 volumes have since been published in Japan. At the time of reporting, eight volumes of the English-language manga had been issued by VIZ Media. During the Fall 2023 anime season, Crunchyroll will stream the series as it airs in Japan.
