A new illustration depicting Fern and Stark’s date has been released on the official X account for the *Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End* manga, quickly becoming a trending topic online.
The artwork features Fern dressed up in a lovely purple dress—a departure from her usual attire—alongside Stark in his everyday clothes. Fans flooded the comments with reactions such as, “They’re so precious,” “I’m always yelling, ‘When are you two going to get together already?!’ but honestly, I kind of hope they keep this dynamic (lol),” “It’s from their date!! So cute,” and “I really hope the meat bun they ate on their date ends up on the menu at the next collab cafe!”
Currently serialized in *Weekly Shonen Sunday*, *Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End* is a unique “post-adventure fantasy” that explores what happens after the hero’s party defeats the Demon King. The story follows the elven mage Frieren as she embarks on a new journey with a fresh group of companions in a world where the hero has long since passed away.
Unfolding within the novel timeline of a “post-Demon King” era, the series has captivated a massive readership with its emotionally resonant drama, poignant dialogue, thrilling sword and sorcery battles, and unexpected moments of humor. The title won the Grand Prize at the 2021 Manga Taisho awards, and the original manga has surpassed a staggering 35 million copies in circulation.
The first season of the anime, which aired from September 2023 to March 2024, concluded with Frieren, Fern, and Stark continuing their trek toward their ultimate destination: Aureole, the land where souls rest. The second season picks up the story from chapter 61, found in the seventh volume of the original manga.
