Frieren Confirms Manga Return After 6 Months of Waiting

The popular manga “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” unexpectedly paused its progression in January 2025, but recently brought joy to fans with a promising announcement! It’s set to publish a new chapter in the upcoming Issue 34 of Weekly Shonen Sunday. This exciting news was shared by the official social media account of “Frieren” PR. The issue will be available in Japan on July 23rd, 2025, and international readers can enjoy it a day earlier on July 22nd. It’s worth mentioning that the manga has taken prolonged breaks before, but the specific reasons for its extended hiatus remain undisclosed. Some fans speculate this could be due to ongoing health concerns affecting the creators, Kanehito Yamada (story) and Tsukasa Abe (art). Whispers of the manga’s return began in June following an unintentional release date disclosure.

Moreover, this implied that the sequence would be resumed soon. The upcoming Chapter 141 of the series follows the Foundation Festival Arc, where Frieren and her companions confront a fresh danger in the Imperial Capital. The plot is at a critical juncture, with the most recent installment concluding on a significant cliffhanger, just as all characters entered the ballroom prior to the ensuing action. Additionally, the series is slated to debut its second season next year, picking up where Frieren and her group move towards Äußerst.

Frieren’s Manga Returns Ahead of an Exciting Season 2 of the Anime

The release date for Season 2 of “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” is yet to be announced, but it’s set to premiere in January 2026 as part of the Winter 2026 anime schedule. The first season concludes with Fern attaining the rank of First-Class Mage, a crucial step for traveling to the Northern Plateau. Anticipated storylines for Season 2 include further Northern Journeys, Divine Revolte, and the Golden Land Arcs from the manga. With the “Frieren” manga resuming with Chapter 141 on July 23rd (July 22nd in the US), it continues to build foundations for upcoming anime episodes. The frequency of new chapter releases going forward remains uncertain at this time.

The adventure leading to Aureole, a destination believed to house deceased spirits, unfolds further as Frieren encounters fresh faces and forges new connections. Stream the series on Crunchyroll starting from September 2023 to catch up with its first season, which was distributed in two segments until March 2024.
