The official website and Twitter account for the anime series Frieren, based on the original manga by Kanehito Yamada, Tsukasa Abe, and Takehiko Yamada, have been launched.
Takehiko Yamada writes and Tsukasa Abe illustrates the winning entry for best manga at the 2021 Manga Taisho Awards. An adventure and fantasy shōnen manga featuring the elf Frieren and her young apprentice, which has been serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday magazine since 2020 and spans 8 compiled volumes.
The plot can be described as follows:
The Demon King is defeated, and the victorious party of heroes returns home before disbanding. The four—the mage Frieren, the hero Himmel, the priest Heiter, and the warrior Eisen—reflect on their decades-long journey as it comes time to part ways. But time flows differently for elves, and so Frieren must watch as her companions slowly pass away.
Before his death, Heiter manages to foist a young human apprentice named Fern onto Frieren. Driven by the elf's passion for collecting a vast array of magical spells, the two embark on a seemingly aimless journey, visiting the places once traveled by the heroes of old. During their travels, Frieren gradually comes to terms with her grief over the missed opportunities to form deeper bonds with her now-deceased comrades.
