“Funeral Free Ren” is a popular manga currently being serialized in “Weekly Shonen Sunday” (original story by Kaneto Yamada/illustration by Tsukasa Abetsu). Set in a world after” the Demon King has been defeated, the story is about Freelen, a wizard who goes on a journey to get to know people” after a hero’s death with whom he once went on an adventure.

To commemorate the massive response to the TV anime version, which aired for 28 episodes starting in September 2023, a first-season favorite frame vote” was held on the official website of the weekly Shonen Sunday”.

After thinking about how to celebrate Fern’s birthday, Freelen gave Fern a hair ornament without confidence, saying, I don’t know anything about Fern.”So, I don’t know what kind of things she likes…” Fern prefaces this by saying, Mr. Freelen seems hopelessly lazy, so I’m going to tell you clearly,” which leads to the above line, You tried to get to know me.’

Freelen, a long-lived elf, has a very different sense of time than humans, so they have a dry personality. However, with the death of the hero Himmel, a change gradually takes place inside her.
