So, if you are also wondering the same thing, then you don’t have to worry because, in this article, we are going to answer in detail whether Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Manga has ended or not. But before verifying the status of the manga, let’s have a look at how Frieren’s Journey started.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Plot
The manga consists of four notable characters, a hero called Himmel, a priest known as Heiter, a warrior known as Eisen, and a mage known as Frieren, the main character of the story. Frieren is a manga not about adventures but about memories.
After ten years of adventuring with her party, Frieren returned to the capital, where she and the others first embarked on their journey to defeat the demon king. That’s exactly where Frieren sets itself apart from the rest.
Instead of going down the same start from the bottom F-rank adventurers guild like everyone else, Frieren takes place after everything is all said and done. Ten years may seem like a long time to skip for us, but to elves like Frieren, it may as well be ten days because one thing about elves is that they don’t die soon due to age.
So long, in fact, that, after witnessing a once-in-a-50-year meteor shower, while everyone’s marveling over the spectacle, for Frieren, it is like watching it every year.
Frieren’s Character Development
Frieren tells her guild that in 50 years’ time, she’ll come back and bring them to a place with a much better view. And if that sounds unrealistic good, it’s possible for Frieren. So 50 years later, impossible returns to the capital astonished to see a shriveled-up Himel, a less shriveled Hiter, and Eisen.
They go to the spot to watch the Beautiful meteor shower. Himel, knowing that this will be the last time he’ll ever experience this moment, is thankful, content, and peacefully passes away. At the funeral, Frieren is seen stone-faced, while everyone grieves the loss of the hero.
Quickly, people steal glances at her, questioning why she is grieving for her friend. And this is where the manga got to us. Not from the funeral, not from the verbal abuse, but from Hiter and Eizen sticking up for their friend.
They see their comrade as someone who they’ve been with for ten years being ridiculed and harassed, so they stand up for her saying, “What about us, we’re not crying either,” as Hiter starts laughing.
Why did they do that? It is because, to them, they shared a once-in-a-lifetime experience with Frieren. A large amount of their lifespan gets to know her and sees her as a significant part of their lives, even if she doesn’t reciprocate the same sentiment.
Is Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Manga Finished?
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End manga has not ended. The story is still running with over 116 chapters and 12 volumes as of the second week of November 2023. It seems like the manga won’t end any time soon.
Even though 116 chapters have been completed, there is a lot more to the story. It seems like the story is not even halfway through its end. And since Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a bimonthly manga, it gives another reason not to end soon.
Judging by how the story is going right now, it is safe to say that it will have more than 150 chapters, which means it will run for another year without any issues.
