No problem, we can wait.
Summary:
- Frieren: Beyond Journey's End manga has 127 chapters as of now.
- It’s nowhere near the end.
- The manga is on hiatus until mid-April.
The first season of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) anime is approaching its end, and the last episode, number 28, is scheduled for March 22, 2024.
This means that this is the best time to start reading the manga if you don’t want to wait for Season 2. And judging by the success of the series, there will be a Season 2.
Manga details
The manga is written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe, and it started its serialization in 2020, meaning that it’s a rather fresh series.
Frieren manga chapters are released rather often: once a week or two weeks. Currently there are 127 chapters, and the last one was released on March 13, 2024.
Readers don’t really know for sure when the manga will end, but they say it’s nowhere near its finale, so there might be years before we approach the final chapter.
However, there’s an idea that manga might cover 10 years of Frieren’s life, since her journey with Himmel and the rest of the party took 10 years, too. With that said, there might be over 100 chapters to come, so the manga will stay with us for years.
Manga hiatus
It has been announced that the Frieren manga will go on a small hiatus until mid-April, and there won’t be any new chapters for a month. Made in Abyss fans dream of such a schedule, but Frieren fans consider it a delay.
Manga readers aren’t really worried, however. They have the anime to keep them company for now and they understand how important it is to rest and take small breaks. They’ve become like Frieren who sees 10 years as a mere moment in her life, so waiting for just a month is something they can definitely do.
Besides, fans understand that the author has been supervising the anime adaptation at the same time as working on the manga, so it must be really tiring for them. If a break is needed, let them take it, it’s no big deal.
This isn’t the first hiatus for the Frieren manga, either. Chapter 107 was released on January 17, 2023, followed by Chapter 108 on March 21, 2023, so there was a two-month wait between them. Which makes the current delay even less noticeable.
