Frieren and her companions visit various places along their journey, including a village inhabited by a man who refuses to abandon his homeland despite the threat of dragon hordes, and a port town on the vast Lake Corridor. When they try to take a ferry on Lake Corridor, they don't have enough money for the fare, and the boatman offers them a deal: to find "Himmel's Autobiography," which is hidden in a monastery on an island.
"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" is a manga written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe, which began serialization in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" in April 2020.
