Damned ninja cutting onions

@BookQueen imagine if the average human life expectancy is 75 years, he managed to hit 100. same as that.

Grandfather Voll is truly a great man, honouring his dead wife's wish for centuries is truly remarkable.

 

[TruestWeeaboo]

I love this story. It presents the idea of what sort of life an "immortal" person would have. Frieren is not immortal but you can grasp the concept; just watching your friends, family and teachers pass you by in what seems to be an instant to somebody with that long of a lifespan. Grandpa Voll's short story further shows this and damn, it really hits you.

 

[Lightbrand]

Stay strong Grandfather Voll

 

[VariousThrenodies]

God, it's honestly unbelievable that a story with all the surface-level trappings of a dime-a-dozen fantasy adventure manga can continually deliver emotional gut punches this hard again and again and again. What a story.

And when you realize too that Frieren won't forget their faces because Himmel put so much care into the statues...

 

[SuplexSensei]

One chapter where Frieren's feelings towards Himmel and the entire group were expressed by words with impeccable clarity...

 

[Angoldd]

Himmel was a genious in having all those statues of them built.
That way Frieren will always remember them.
Grandpa Voll's awesome, too.

 

[BakaTono]

Wait, was his wife Flamme? Rear profile looked like her

 

[ForPain]

Depression: The Manga

 

[Gurgling]

Damnit, I didn't tear up until that last part, grandfather Voll I'm happy you dreamt of her.

 

[Lustrist]

thank you, j cole

 

[Pietje013]

Stark is getting stronger and stronger with every new instructor.
Frieren never had the obaa-chan feeling, that really shows where she was talking with the dwarf while sitting on the ground

He's not old enough. Flamme died close to 1000 years ago, and he's only 400 and change. I think it's just a case of the artist having a consistent style in character design. There have been several spots where virtual doppelgangers of our main characters have shown up in the background.

That last page... Damn.
This author is scarily good at delivering lines
