so this manga is her way of dealing with grief. for an extremly long livedspecies seeing people die of old age must be hard, especially if their close friends.
The saddest part of this story is that she has the power to write her memories about the Hero's journey and immortalize her friends, yet her own "inmaturity" and perception of time doesn't allow her to see the frailty of their legacy.
The way she acts like Himmel is her driving force really shows how much she loved and still loves him 🥺🥺🥺 wonder if Himmel loved her when he was alive but she just never realized it bc if he did I’m really cryin in the club rn 😭😭
@frenchfry pretty sure all 4 of em loved each other in a familial way. You can see at how Heiter acts like an older brother to Frieren and how the dwarf (sorry I forgot his name) even cheers her up during Himmel's funeral when people were badmouthing her. I don't see this as romance, more as a family.
This story reaaally nails the bittersweetness of being essentially ageless and seeing all your loved one grow up and die in a blink of an eye. It's heart-wrenching.
