Publisher Shogakukan opened an official website for an anime adaptation of Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe's Sousou no Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) manga on Tuesday, revealing an announcement visual (pictured).

Yamada and Abe began serializing the fantasy adventure manga in Shounen Sunday magazine in April 2020. Shogakukan shipped the eighth volume on June 17, with the ninth volume scheduled to release on September 15. The series has a cumulative of over 7.2 million copies of its volumes.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in February 2021 and published the fifth volume on July 19. The sixth volume is slated for an October 18 release.

Sousou no Frieren placed second and sixth in the male readers category in the 2021 and 2022 editions of Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings and won the 14th Manga Taisho award. The manga was also nominated for the 45th and 46th Kodansha Manga Awards.

Synopsis
The demon king has been defeated, and the victorious hero party returns home before disbanding. The four—mage Frieren, hero Himmel, priest Heiter, and warrior Eisen—reminisce about their decade-long journey as the moment to bid each other farewell arrives. But the passing of time is different for elves, thus Frieren witnesses her companions slowly pass away one by one.

Before his death, Heiter manages to foist a young human apprentice called Fern onto Frieren. Driven by the elf's passion for collecting a myriad of magic spells, the pair embarks on a seemingly aimless journey, revisiting the places that the heroes of yore had visited. Along their travels, Frieren slowly confronts her regrets of missed opportunities to form deeper bonds with her now-deceased comrades. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

So glad it's finally been confirmed,

Fell in love with this manga from the moment I read it and been wanting to see it get an anime ever since. Here's hoping for the best and hopefully it gets a great studio to work on it.

So massively hyped for this!!!

I don't know, the first 2 volumes were very good but then it looked like it turned into a typical shounen. At least if you check the latest volume.

I've heard good things about this one and have had it on my PTR radar for some time now, so I'm looking forward to this.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

I was actually considering buying the manga for this, I guess it was to be expected but now I must rethink my plans, depends on the studio and adaptation quality and time of arrival maybe.

Not that far into it, but I can already say that it's going to be one of the more promising fantasy titles in this decade. We've been missing something like this.

Can't wait to see this on screen, I've been having fun reading the manga. The series is like quiet depression littered with merry melancholy.
