This is one of my all-time favourite manga series. It reflects on the passage of time, the meaning of life, the meaning of relationships, and more through the lens of Frieren, an elf who does not age and has started seeing some of the few friends she cared about pass away from old age. On my first read-through her tears at Himmel's funeral hit me hard, and they hit even harder on my reread.

The art is lovely. The paneling is phenomenal, perfectly showing the passage of months and years in just a page or two. The characters' personalities come through as much in little vignettes with no voice as they do in dialogue and action. The way the story plods along, gentle but not quite aimless, gives it a relaxing feel even in emotional and tense scenes. 

And most of all, Frieren is a goof and I love it.
