Following the latest volume release, it was revealed that the beloved manga Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End will be going on hiatus again after a brief return from a hiatus in November. Prior to this, the Frieren manga had gone on hiatus in August of the same year, following a previous pause in May.

The official synopsis of the series reads, “After the party of heroes defeated the Demon King, they restored peace to the land and returned to lives of solitude. Generations pass, and the elven mage Frieren comes face to face with humanity’s mortality. She takes on a new apprentice and promises to fulfill old friends’ dying wishes. Can an elven mind make peace with the nature of life and death? Frieren embarks on her quest to find out.”
