FRIEREN BEYOND JOURNEYS END GN (2025)

Elf mage Frieren and her courageous fellow adventurers have defeated the Demon King and brought peace to the land. With the great struggle over, they all go their separate ways to live a quiet life. But as an elf, Frieren, nearly immortal, will long outlive the rest of her former party. How will she come to terms with the mortality of her friends? How can she find fulfillment in her own life, and can she learn to understand what life means to the humans around her? Frieren begins a new journey to find the answer. For teen audiences.

"At Eisen's urging, Frieren and her apprentice Fern head north seeking the land where heroes' souls are said to rest, which also happens to be the Demon King's castle. Along the way, they meet a disciple of Eisen's whose sword arm may come in handy-though the Demon King is long gone, his surviving minions have unfinished business with Frieren! For teen audiences. "

An old enemy returns as Frieren continues her journey north. Decades ago, Frieren and her party defeated Aura the Guillotine, a great demon, one of the Seven Sages of Destruction, and a servant of the Demon King. Now Aura is back with a score to settle. But what price did Frieren pay for victory in the past, and how will the choices she made then affect the present? For teen audiences.

The village priest Sein has no intention of becoming an adventurer, but his desire to find a long-lost friend may lead him to join Frieren's party on their journey north. They are headed for the magical city of Äußerst, where Frieren can obtain the first-class mage certification needed to enter the Northern Plateau region. At Frieren's urging, Fern decides to take the certification exam as well, and faces some unexpected competition... For teen audiences.

Frieren and Fern have entered the highly competitive first-class mage exam, but find themselves on different teams. Capturing a rare bird is required to pass, and everyone soon realizes that there is more at stake than simply success or failure. The clash of personalities among team members makes things difficult enough. But for some of the examinees, the test could be a matter of life and death... For teen audiences.

The first-class mage candidates begin the second exam, a dangerous expedition into the innermost depths of the Tomb of the Ruined King. This time, however, there are no teams and it's every mage for themselves. But whether they want to team up or not, the challenge they will face-perfect clones of themselves-will test their skills to the limit. For teen audiences.

Although the examinees have overcome many physical threats, passing the first-class mage exam ultimately comes down to a simple interview with Serie, whose intuition will determine success or failure. Once the exam is over, Frieren, Fern, and Stark set out again on their journey to Aureole, the land where souls rest. While on the road, various encounters provide new challenges-though the most challenging thing Stark and Fern have to face is a date with each other! For older teen audiences.

The Northern Plateau-a wild and dangerous place, filled with monsters and other threats. Frieren once traveled it with her legendary friends now long passed. Now, she finds herself following those familiar paths with new friends. Frieren's journey brings back many old memories, including...the terrible flavor of bread? For teen audiences.

As Frieren, Fern, and Stark continue their journey in the Northern Plateau, they face many obstacles both natural and supernatural, including the Great Tor Canyon. But once across the canyon, they receive a plea for help that will take them into a legendary city of gold and a confrontation with their past selves!

Years before the end of the war against the Demon King, Macht, the most powerful of the Seven Sages of Destruction, made a deal with the lord of the fortress city of Weise in an attempt to understand human emotions. Although the deal was at first beneficial to both sides, Macht eventually transformed the entire city and all of its residents into gold. Now, the strange tale of Macht, the fate of Weise, and Denken's own past will all lead Frieren and her companions to one of their most difficult confrontations yet.

Frieren has broken the curse of Diagoldze and released herself and Denken. Now they face Macht and Solitär in a final battle of retribution. With his memories of his wife driving him, Denken challenges Macht, his former master. Frieren takes on Solitär, who is confident of victory. But demons have always underestimated Frieren, one of the greatest mages to ever live, and Macht and Solitär would do well to not count Frieren out just yet!

Upon touching the ancient monument of the Goddess, Frieren finds herself cast back in time to 53 years before the death of Himmel the Hero. Her old adventuring comrades don't know she has come from the future, and Frieren realizes she must protect the secrecy of advancements in magic from their enemies. Here, the Demon King has not yet been defeated, and his minions are still powerful and determined to destroy Frieren!

After being reunited in the past with her old friends, the Party of Heroes, Frieren looks for a way to return to the future. But the Demon King's minions want the knowledge Frieren possesses, and the powerful demon Grausam traps Frieren and Himmel in an illusion so beautiful they may never want to leave! Then a threat that's been lurking in the shadows for decades rises once again…

The adventure is over but life goes on for an elf mage just beginning to learn what living is all about.
