The manga also attracted attention after winning the “69th Shogakukan Manga Award” in January 2024.
The story’s main character is Freelen, an elf wizard who has lived for over 1000 years.

Thanks to Freelen’s efforts, the examinees reached the deepest part of the dungeon.
However, Freelen was nowhere to be seen, and test taker Denken (CV: Jiro Saito ) asked, “So where did the person with the most merit go?” Then, Freelen was eaten by a mimic disguised as her treasure chest. Denken was perplexed by the pitiful appearance of the “person of greatest merit.” Mimic often eats Freelen. Seeing him getting caught in Mimic’s trap even after a big success, people on the internet said, “You’re not learning, lol,” “What are you doing, man of merit?” “It’s hilarious to see Denken pulling the strings,” and “As a result, Mimic is the strongest.” There was a series of reactions.

Himmel said, “I thought you were good,” and “I met you once, a long time ago,” and began talking about his memories of her as a child. Young Himmel got lost in the forest, where he met Freelen. Himmel thinks to himself, “What a cold person,” as Frieren bluntly tells him the direction of the human settlement.
