Review
“Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” is a unique story that follows a party of heroes after they defeat the Demon King.Unlike conventional manga theory, the story begins with death. The story is based on the longevity of elves, and its setting, which questions the nature of emotions and life, is extremely outstanding. Another great appeal of this manga is that, despite its grand theme, it is a somewhat light read. How does Frieren understand humanity, and where does her journey lead her? We will be keeping an eye on her journey.
