The anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" is based on the manga of the same name currently serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday," with original story by Kanehito Yamada and art by Tsukasa Abe. Set in the world "after" the Demon King was defeated, it tells the story of Frieren, a mage who has lived for over 1000 years, as she embarks on a "journey to understand humanity." The original comic series, which has received high praise including numerous awards, has surpassed 32 million copies in cumulative circulation. The second season of the television anime has been confirmed to air from January 2026. To commemorate the broadcast of the second season, two official fanbooks, "The Magic to Understand Frieren & Himmel" and "The Magic to Understand Fern & Stark," will be simultaneously released from Shogakukan on December 18th.
