Varias personas en mi círculo social me recomendaron ver la primer temporada de Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End (Keiichirō Saitō, 2023) en cuanto comenté lo mucho que me estaba gustando The Apothecary Diaries, pero como las historias inmersas en mundos mágicos no son lo mío la fui dejando en la lista de pendientes… error mío, la recomendación resultó excelente. El anime producido por Madhouse se basa en el manga escrito por Kanehito Yamada e ilustrado por Tsukasa Abe.

[Résumé du 1er tome] Himmel, un jeune héros humain, le prête Heiter, le nain Eisen et l'elfe Frieren forment un groupe disparate, réuni pour combattre le roi des Démons. Au bout de 10 ans, iels ressortent victorieux/euse. Iels se séparent pour mener une vie plus normale.
Des dizaines d'années plus tard, Frieren retrouvent ses compagnons. Ce sont les derniers instants de Himmel qui est maintenant un vieillard. Pour Frieren, une elfe magicienne, il est difficile d'appréhender une vie aussi courte. Elle est touchée par la mort de celui qui était son ami. Elle repart à l'aventure avec Fern, la protégée de Heiter.

Encore un grand merci à @tincfiriel qui m'a prêté les 7 premiers tomes. Sans elle, je n'aurais pas découvert ce petit bijou. J'ai aimé l'univers fantasy médieval. Qu'il est intéressant aussi de se retrouver après la fin des aventures, un peu comme si on nous racontait le Seigneur des Anneaux des dizaines d'année après la défaite de Sauron. Il y a des flashbacks qui nous permettent de découvrir les liens entre Frieren, Himmel, Heiter et Eisen et qui sont souvent amusants et/ou touchants.
Frieren est un personnage attachant et drôle. C'est une elfe magicienne qui aime collectionner des sorts, surtout des sorts inutiles. Elle a du mal à comprendre les humain.e.s et leurs sentiments et Himmel va lui apprendre beaucoup de choses à ce sujet.
Enfin, j'ai adoré sa relation avec Fern. C'est la protégée de Heiter qui devient la sienne par la suite. J'aime cette dynamique maître/élève avec une élève qui est souvent bien plus mature que le maître.
Je passe de merveilleux moments avec cette saga, je suis ravie de l'avoir commencé.
Je vous la conseille vivement !

New Manga Read - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Volume 13

Volume 13 finished off very quickly, but in a satisfying manner, the plot where Frieren was sent back in time.

Then it immediately moves along into Frieren and company traveling along going on mini-side quests.

There are some more references to finding where Himmel ended up, but it's mostly a chill volume with an ending about an impending mission.

Well done. Still loving it.

Can't wait for the next volume.

New Manga Read - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Volume 12

So wow. Volume 12.

The entire volume is set in an alternate past as Frieren is sent back in time to the party of heroes. She admits she's from the future without telling them anything about the future.

The whole volume tracks them trying to help Frieren find a way back to 80+ years in the future.

The ending, though, of the volume was unexpected and is entirely in Himmel the Hero's head...kind of. And I did not expect THAT to be one of his deep fantasies.

So yea...got to get Volume 13 soon.

New Manga Read - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Volume 11

The first half finished the tale of the battle to beat Macht of the Golden Lands and it's so well done. Denken gets a great chance to shine, so does Frieren. Also, Frieren gets to show how she's grown as a person in trusting her allies. It was so well done.

The second half was a string of short self-contained chapters with little stories. Frieren once again gets silly spells from locals she helps.

All in all, great volume!

New Manga Read - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Volume 10

Almost the entire volume is comprised of the memories of Macht of the Golden Land.

This flashback is SO well done. Incredible to fully understand Macht's backstory and how it overlapped with the region, with Denken, and with Frieren.

Flashing back to the present in the story and Macht with a friend from the past become a problem.

But that ending.

Such a well crafted volume, as always. Now I need to request the next volumes from my library!

New Read - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Volume 9

So good.

No, seriously, each volume is just so good.

Volume 9 brings back Denken into the plot. We meet near the Golden Land as Denken is trying to get Frieren's help to defeat the demon that has kept it gold. And the plot here, so well done. A lot of good flashbacks and the reveal of the demon's personal connection to Denken.

So good.

Can't wait to read the next volume.

New Read - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Volume 8

Volume 8 is a collection of shorter stories of Fern, Frieren, and Stark. Various encounters, well done flashbacks, solid fight scenes. Everyone holding their own.

But the final chapter showed Denken coming back into the story and, for that, I am thrilled.

Denken is back, guys!!

Sorry.

Anyway, loved it. Looking forward to Volume 9.

New Read - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Volume 7

End of the First Class Mage exam. I genuinely like how it ended and congrats to Denken and Fern. I hope we see Denken again someday.

The other part of the volume is some minor adventures and the importance of enjoying / experiencing life.

But, also Stark and Fern go on a date and it's so adorably awkward. So cute.

Anyways...yea, still loving it.
