January 14: Manga Club: Frieren (vol 1)

January 14, 2022: Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (vol 1) by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe

To kick off our New Year, we’re going to discuss a manga about endings and new beginnings. Decades ago Frieren and her friends saved the world from the Demon King, but now this band of heroes is aging and dying – all except Frieren, a near-immortal elf. How do you connect with those you’ll outlive? Where do you find purpose in a land already saved? And what do you do with a life that lasts forever? We’ll discuss the first volume of this unique, poignant fantasy series.

This title will be 15% off between 11/12 and 1/14, so give it a read!
