Sousou no frieren manga

This wonderful fantasy manga is titled, “Sousou no Frieren”, or in a possible English translation, “Frieren at the Funeral”. This a title that deserves to have an official English version in the near future.This second volume can be divided into parts. The first part is an easy-pace quest of Frieren retracing the journey of her original party with the disciples and heirs of her friends. The second part contains the initial chapters of an arc that can only be title “Frieren the demon slayer”.I’ve already written about how it is a different take on a fantasy story in my review of the first volume. Now it continues to get better as this story progresses.

Sousou no Frieren or Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a shounen manga written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe.

Sousou no Frieren (Frieren at the Funeral) is a manga that starts its story at the end of the hero’s journey. The hero’s team disbands after killing the demon lord and each members go their own way. The interesting twist is that this manga uses the perspective of the elf mage who have unimaginably long lifespans. So much so that within the first chapter, 50 years have passed and most of our characters have aged and our hero has passed on, yet our elf barely aged a day.

The art is pretty good, the backgrounds aren’t that memorable but the characters are quite good. I think it looks somewhat similar to The Faraway Paladin’s manga but better. Speaking of which, if you need one more proof that Sousou no Frieren is great, it seems like .

Why it would be a good license for JNC: First, it’s popular the series is still short but already has some momentum. The ratings are also really good: 8.52 on MAL and even more impressive 9.39 on MangaDex, making it the top manga on that site; which, to be fair, is overrated it’s a great manga but not that great, still, those are some good numbers. Also even if it quite different from the other it’s still part of the popular RPG-like fantasy genre, and I think JNC readers who liked slower more character-driven versions of those stories like The Faraway Paladin, Grimgar, or Isekai Rebuilding Project could really like Sousou no Frieren.
