A review by bookishpatricia
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Vol. 1 by Kanehito Yamada, Tsukasa Abe
5.0
I’ve never finished a book in one sitting - ever in my life. Although I understand a manga is not so much a “words” book, I take it as the same banana - just a different variation.
On a ~romantic~ level, I found it to be a happy medium for boyfran and I’s individual interests. He was the one who recommended Frieren to me, and he got me vol. 1 as a gift as well. I’m happy that the animation is on Netflix. It would be nice seeing the story in color.
It took me by nice surprise how such a “light” story can evoke so many emotions. Although it’s not new, I believe we can all enjoy different material on our own timelines. As a brief review, Frieren is packed with life lessons and it epitomizes “romanticising life.”
Here are lessons I learned so far:
— Respect people’s time
— The best way to honor someone is by paying the good things they’ve done forward
— Conserve your energy for more important matters; not every obstacle in life is monumental
— There’s always a chance to change for the better
— Tell people good things while they’re still alive, not when they’re no longer around to hear it
— Community is necessary
