The 18th episode of the TV anime “Funeral Freeren” was broadcast on the 12th. After the broadcast, the original manga was published on the work’s official website.
Freeren and his friends parted ways with Zain and came to the magical city of Oithast. To enter the northern plateau beyond this point, it is mandatory to be accompanied by a first-class magician. There are years when no one passes the First Class Wizard Examination, which is a difficult task that sometimes results in casualties.
Skilled magicians had gathered at the exam venue where Freelen and Fern headed. The new chapter of the second season, [First Class Wizard Exam Edition], has finally started. A series of unique wizards appear one after another, and free learners are depicted taking on difficult exams.
This work is based on the manga of the same name that has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday since April 2020. It is a “sequel fantasy” depicting what happened to the heroes who defeated the Demon King. The story is about the magician Elf Freelen, who goes on a new adventure with his new friends in a world after the hero’s death.
The story unfolds in an innovative chronological order, “after the defeat of the Demon King,” woven by characters, including heart-rending drama and dialogue, battles with magic and swords, and humor that will make you laugh, and has won many readers. It is a famous work that won the Grand Prize at the Manga Awards 2021, and the comics have sold over 17 million copies. The TV anime will be broadcast in two consecutive seasons until March 2024.
