"Attention to Detail!" Inside the Washbasin… Collaboration Photo of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and Kerorin Tub Becomes a Hot Topic: "I Want One So Badly"

On the official X account for Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, a photo featuring a yellow Kerorin tub alongside a Frieren plushie was released under the title "Kerorin." SNS users are chiming in with playful comments about its surreal and cute appearance.

In the released photo, a Frieren plushie with narrowed eyes fits snugly into a yellow bath tub, a familiar sight at Japanese public bathhouses, as if sitting down inside it. On the bottom of the tub, not only is "Kerorin" printed in red lettering, but there is also an illustration of Frieren soaking in a hot spring with a hand towel on her head printed in red and green ink alongside text reading "Magic that warms your body to the core" and "Frieren of the Hot Springs," making it a special-edition Kerorin tub.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is a smash-hit fantasy manga written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe. Set in a world after the Demon King has been defeated, the story follows Frieren, an elven mage with a lifespan much longer than that of humans, as she sets off on a new journey to understand people following the death of her former companion, Hero Himmel. Expanding across a wide range of media mixes, the broadcast of the third season of the TV anime is scheduled to begin in October 2027.

In response to this post, SNS users offered witty comments about the title, such as "It's already merged into one word..." and "At this point, only the long vowel mark and 'n' are left." Furthermore, excitement is building with comments focusing on the collaborated tub design like "Such attention to detail! Frieren inside the washbasin," "I want this tub so badly," and "I love this so much (lol)," alongside comments drawing comparisons to everyday life inspired by the plushie sitting in the tub, such as "This is what you do when washing a toddler's bottom... (lol)" and "She's been worked so hard, you've got to wash her once in a while."
