Plot

edit

The story followselvenmageFrieren,a former member of the party of adventurers who defeated the Demon King and restored harmony to the world after a ten-year quest. The heroic group includes human hero Himmel,dwarvenwarrior Eisen, and human priest Heiter. Before they part, they observe the Era Meteors together, ameteor showerthat occurs once in fifty years. Frieren agrees to see them again and offers them a better view the next time the celestial event occurs. Frieren then departs and travels the world in pursuit of magical knowledge.

Frieren returns to the capital fifty years later; however, humanity has changed, and her former companions have distinctly aged. After one last adventure to see the meteor shower, Himmel dies of old age. During the funeral, Frieren expresses guilt for not attempting to learn more about him. Paying a visit to her other former comrades, she accepts Heiter's request to teach and care for Fern, an orphaned child adopted by Heiter. She also receives an invitation to travel far north to the resting place of souls and see Himmel again to bid the hero a fitting farewell and express her feelings. To fulfill those requests, Frieren embarks on a journey together with Fern while still pursuing her passion for learning magic. Along the way, she is joined by Stark, a young warrior boy taught by Eisen.

Frieren's elven nature grants her an extremely long lifespan, causing her to view periods of years or decades as ephemeral (this perception of time makes her consider the ten-year adventure with Himmel's party a fleeting experience). The story thus takes place across a long time, with periodicflashbacksaccompanied by the physical and mental development of characters apart from Frieren herself.

Production

edit

Katsuma Ogura, the editor-in-charge ofFrieren,noted that Yamada's previous work,Bocchi Hakase to Robot Shoujo no Zetsubou Teki Utopia,did not sell well, despite considering it a masterpiece. This led to the suggestion of giving Yamada an illustrator forFrieren.They had several thoughts that went from a gag manga which resulted in storyboards for a one-shot ofFrieren.Upon reading the one-shot ofFrieren,Ogura started laughing, claiming that it was not a comedy at all. When Yamada finished the first storyboard, before sending it to the editorial department, Ogura contacted Abe and asked them to draw a character chart. Yamada was impressed with it and Ogura asked him do it, submitting the project to the editorial. Ogura was impressed with Abe's artwork and suggested that he work with Yamada. Yamada was impressed with the first illustration ofFrieren,believing the title character had an aura of humanity.[4]

After Kanehito Yamada, who was in charge of the original work, finished serializing his previous work, "Since it was a comedy about demons, I suggested that they try writing a gag in that direction, and suddenly the name of the first chapter ofFuneral Frieren"came up.[5][6]After that, he decided to hire someone to be in charge of drawing, and when he showed his name to Tsukasa Abe, who was also in charge, he responded, "I'd like to draw it." When I asked him to draw a character picture for Frieren, Yamada said, "If this is the person, please do it." Abe was put in charge of the animation.[5][6]

The origin of the title of this work is that Yamada had a title idea, but the editorial department also considered it, and at the editorial department meeting, the editor in charge said, "If we decide on a good title, we will pay a prize of 10,000 yen out of our own pocket." One of the title ideas submitted by the deputy editor-in-chief wasFuneral Frieren,and Yamada and Abe finally decided on the title, which became the current title.[7]

For the animated adaptation byMadhouse,Tomohiro Suzuki said Fern's character was too different depending on who she is interacting with; with Frieren there is a motherly bond while in front of Stark, she acts like a childish normal teenager. Director Keiichiro Saito added that Fern appears to have several changes in the narrative as her growth has a major impact on Frieren. When it comes to Stark, Suzuki says that despite being a coward, he is still written to be handsome and cool and has a major impact on Fern as he becomes the first young male friend she has ever met and socialized with in her entire life.[8]

Critical reception

edit

Rebecca Silverman ofAnime News Networkgave the first volume an A−. Silverman praised the concept of Frieren outliving her companions and being forced to live with an understanding of the human world and her own emotions, calling it an "interesting take on the fantasy genre". Silverman, however, commented that the art is not "quite up to the emotional tasks of the story".[67]Richard Eisenbeis from the same website praised the second volume of the series, saying that it "delivers both emotional tales and deep thematic explorations of human nature". He also described the fourth and fifth volumes of the manga as "an action climax that delivers not only a grand battle but also character-development andworld-building.Smaller one-off tales that hit you right in your emotional core ".[68][69]Ross Locksley ofUK Anime Networkconsidered it as an interesting take on the fantasy genre, comparing its themes to the mangaTo Your Eternityas it examines relationships as the protagonist tries to live up the legacy of her teammates.[70]

Wolfen Moondaughter ofSequential Tartgave the first volume a 9 out of 10. Moondaughter highlighted theslice of lifenature of the story, despite its premise which involves a "D&D-style adventuring party ", also praising the interaction between the characters and the art work, concluding:" If you want a break from fight scenes, and want something more serene and contemplative, this book should serve you well! It's also a lovely story of honouring the memory of lost loved ones, and dealing with grief. "[71]Sheena McNeil of the same website gave the first volume a 7. McNeil called the concept of "what happens to the party when the quest is over?" interesting, praising as well Frieren's struggling with "becoming less detached" and seeing her experiencing the "lovely poignant moments, bittersweet ones, and happy ones". McNeil also compared the series' pace and feel toHaibane Renmei.[72]Antonio Mireles ofThe Fandom Postnamed it the sixth best manga of 2021. He wrote: "Time waits for no man and that line may be overused but that line strikes a chord in this manga. There is always more to discover and Frieren has to learn that lesson as time marches on. It's a sweet but harsh reminder to enjoy the moment for all its worth."[73]Kara Dennison ofOtaku USAliked the art and the touches of humanity which help to appeal the narrative, comparing it to other works likeLord of the Ringsand fantasy series.[74]
