The anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" is based on the manga of the same name, currently serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday," with the original story by Kanehito Yamada and artwork 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 people." The original comic series, which has received high acclaim including winning numerous awards, has surpassed 32 million copies in total circulation. It has been decided that the second season of the television anime will air starting January 16, 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 by Shogakukan on December 18.
