Fern's contemptuous expression immediately garnered attention online, with comments such as: "Fern lol, please stop looking at him like he's trash," "I can't handle it," and "That look of condescension and her voice are the best." Stark, whose cowardly nature was exposed, also received favorable reactions, including "I seriously love him too much," and "So he's a wimp lol~."

The anime 'Frieren: Beyond Journey's End' is based on the manga of the same name, written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe, serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday." Set in the world "after" the Demon King has been defeated, it tells the story of Frieren, a mage who has lived for over 1,000 years, setting out on a "journey to learn about humans." The original comic, which has received numerous awards and high praise, has surpassed 32 million copies in cumulative circulation. Furthermore, the second season of the TV anime has been confirmed to broadcast starting in January 2026. To commemorate the Season 2 broadcast, two official fan books, "Frieren & Himmel: The Magic to Understand Them" and "Fern & Stark: The Magic to Understand Them," will be released simultaneously by Shōgakukan on December 18th.
