Adults Want It Too: "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" Supplement in "Shogaku Hachinen-sei" Magazine Featuring a Treasure Chest That Can Eat You Draws Attention

On the official X account of "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," it was announced that the magazine "Shogaku Hachinen-sei Doki Doki! Shinkyu Challenge Issue," set to be released around February 26th, will include a supplement called "A Treasure Chest That Might Be a Mimic," which has become a hot topic.

According to the released announcement image, "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" has achieved its first-ever magazine supplement in this publication. The supplement "A Treasure Chest That Might Be a Mimic" features a design where one of the two treasure chests is real, while the other is a mimic. It comes equipped with a luck-testing gimmick where if you reach into the chest and successfully retrieve a grimoire, you win, but if your hand gets bitten, you lose. The mechanism uses rubber bands to automatically close. The image also includes the familiar scene from the original manga where Frieren (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki) is being eaten from the upper body by a mimic, shouting "It's dark! I'm scared!" The announcement promotes that "You can recreate that famous scene!"

In response to this post, fans have shared reactions such as "I have to buy this!" "This is something adults want too," "Amazing, I'm curious about the mechanism," and "I've already reserved it!! I'm going to pick it up this weekend, I'm so excited!" attracting interest not only from children but also from adults. Furthermore, humorous responses relating to the series' settings and episodes were also shared, such as "Frieren-sama is in elementary school for 1000 years... oops, it seems someone is coming..." and "I wonder if the scales will be next?" creating a lively atmosphere.
