Once known for her treacherous ten-year quest, elf mage Frieren now lives a quieter existence. After attending a funeral, though, her life takes off in a different direction.
Having embraced the quest with a group of adventurers, Frieren agrees to see them again, becoming keen to find more magical knowledge.
