Katsuma Ogura, the editor-in-charge of Frieren, noted that Yamada's previous work, Bocchi Hakase to Robot Shoujo no Zetsubou Teki Utopia, did not sell well, despite considering it a masterpiece. The story thus takes place across a long time, with periodic flashbacks accompanied by the physical and mental development of characters apart from Frieren herself. To fulfill those requests, Frieren embarks on a journey together with Fern while still pursuing her passion for learning magic.įrieren's elven nature grants her an extremely long lifespan, causing her to view periods of years or decades as ephemeral (this perception of time makes her consider the ten-year adventure with Himmel's party a fleeting experience).

She also receives an invitation to travel far north, to the resting place of souls, and see Himmel again to bid the hero a fitting farewell and express her feelings. She accepts an offer to teach and care for Fern, an orphaned child adopted by Heiter. Frieren then pays a visit to her other former comrades. During the funeral, Frieren expressed guilt for not attempting to learn more about him. After one last adventure to see the meteor shower, Himmel dies of old age. Frieren then departs and travels the world in pursuit of magical knowledge.įrieren returns to the capital fifty years later however, humanity has changed, and her former companions have distinctly aged. Frieren agrees to see them again and offers them a better view the next time the celestial event occurs. Before they part, they observe the Era Meteors together, a meteor shower that occurs once in fifty years. In the past, the heroic group included Frieren, human hero Himmel, dwarven warrior Eisen and human priest Heiter.

The story follows elven mage Frieren, a former member of the party of adventurers who defeated the Demon King and restored harmony to the world after a ten-year quest.
