Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Vol. 1 by Kanehito Yamada, Tsukasa Abe
4.0
adventurous emotional reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is a spoiler free review for the whole series, up to where it is currently out in English volumes (volume 12). I update it periodically as I don't like rating individual volumes and would rather rate the series as a whole. 

I have been hooked on Frieren since volume 1. I love the emotional take on the traditional fantasy setting and world. The art is incredible and I am always blown away by the detail in the backgrounds. The characters show great development along with the plotline. It's not a perfect series, it has dragged in places, but I always look forward to a new volume.
