Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Vol. 9 by Kanehito Yamada

adventurous dark funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.5

Things are picking up for the adventurers, and we get to see a deepening in the contrasts between demonic intelligence within this world and what's considered human (more emotional) intelligence. It's very interesting to see how Frieren, an elf with near-immortal lifespan, finds her place between the realities of humans and demons. Having started out with an apathetic outlook towards human life that would match that of a demon's, she has gained a depth from her desire to learn about people that has made her more strategic in her approach. And more insightful in her relationships. 

With Macht introduced as a demon that has worked with humans before and wants to "coexist," I wonder where they will go with these character developments. Exciting to see!

Aside from very annoying typos and translation awkwardness, the story itself remains compelling and fun to read. The art is so delightful too.
