posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Indonesian publisher M&C! revealed on Tuesday that it has licensed Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe's Frieren: After "The End" (Sōsō no Frieren) manga. It did not reveal a release date for the manga.
The fantasy story follows the travels of Frieren, an elf who once journeyed on perilous adventures to defeat evil with stalwart comrades. When peace comes, she bears the burden of her long-lived race, and sees her friends pass away before her one by one. At the same time as she mourns the aging and passing of old relationships, she forms valuable new relationships in her travels.
Yamada and Abe launched the manga in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in April 2020. Shogakukan released the manga's seventh compiled book volume on March 17.
The manga won the 14th Manga Taisho Award in 2021, and also won the New Creator Prize for the 25th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize last year. The manga ranked #6 in the manga for male readers list of the 2022 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!) guidebook.
