Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Kanehito Yamada Vol 1

About this deal

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is a Japanese manga series written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe. Rather than beginning where fantasy manga usually starts, with new adventurers forming a party to defeat monsters and save the world, Frieren is set long after those adventures have ended. Elf mage Frieren and her fellow adventurers have defeated the Demon King and brought peace to the land, but Frieren will long outlive the rest of her former party -- and decades after their victory, the funeral of one of her friends confronts her with her own near immortality. Volume 1 contains the first seven chapters of the manga. It is a leisurely paced manga that takes a fresh approach to the fantasy genre, asking readers to stop and reflect. In this first volume, Frieren takes on an apprentice and begins to rediscover the paths she walked with her old adventuring party many years ago. The series also has a well-regarded anime adaptation produced by Madhouse. This is a great starting point for anyone seeking a thoughtful, character-driven fantasy manga, and this copy is available in like new condition via eBay.
