This is such an amazing manga that talks about friendship and loss through the perspective of an immortal elf. It is lighthearted and equally emotional, given that the story begins when Frieren's decade-long adventure with her friends come to an end. I genuinely did not expect the uniqueness of the story, where the main character is taught about the significance of making memories and remembering. Frieren is a bittersweet story set in a fantastical world with mages and adventurers and is illustrated with one of the prettiest art styles I have ever encountered.
