Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is such a beautiful anime that it almost doesn't do it justice! But fans have been lucky enough to enjoy this amazing series recently. It debuted quietly last fall but has since become a top contender for Anime of the Year, with its first season ending this month.
The success of anime also has a major impact on manga sales. The team behind the Frieren: Beyond Journey's End manga shared how much the anime has brought back the excitement for the season finale.
Before the anime aired, the manga sold about 10 million copies within three years. But when the first season ended, sales had reached 20 million copies.
That's quite an achievement! It took three years to sell 10 million copies, but the anime doubled that number in just six months. Unbelievable, right?
If you haven't seen Frieren: Beyond Journey's End then you're missing out! It all started with Weekly Shonen Sunday creators Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe.
Madhouse turned it into an anime juggernaut. You can binge-watch the first season right now in dubbed or subtitled versions. And if you like reading, Viz Media has an English version of the manga available.
Here's a little bit of the story:
“After the group of heroes defeated the Demon King, they restored peace to the land and returned to their lonely lives. Generations passed and the elven wizard Frieren faced the death of humanity.
She takes on a new apprentice and promises to fulfill the dying wish of her old friends. Can the elven mind make peace with the nature of life and death? Frieren embarked on a journey of understanding.”
In short, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is an incredible series that you don't want to miss!
