As an elf who has lived for over a thousand years, she promised to reunite with Himmel and set out on a solo journey. Fifty years later, Frieren visits Himmel only to find that while she remains unchanged, Himmel has aged and his life is nearing its end.

Along her path, she encounters various people and experiences a range of events—each shaping her journey and understanding of life.
Characters
フリーレン (Frieren)
Voice Actor:種崎敦美 (Atsumi Tanezaki)
Frieren, an elf mage who journeyed with the hero Himmel to defeat the Demon King, has a longer lifespan than humans. Fifty years after their victory, she reunites with Himmel to watch a meteor shower, which prompts her to start a journey to understand humans after his subsequent death. Twenty years later, she reunites with Hiter, the cleric of their hero party. While working on Hiter's request, she begins teaching magic to Fern, a war orphan living with Hiter. After Hiter's death, Frieren takes Fern as her apprentice and continues her adventures with him.
フェルン (Fern)
Voice Actor:市ノ瀬加那 (Kana Ichinose)
Fern is a young mage and a war orphan from the southern countries who was about to end her own life when she was saved by Hiter, who then raised her. When Frieren, tasked with deciphering a spellbook by Hiter, moved in with them, Fern learned magic from her and grew to a proficient level. She possesses exceptional magical control skills. After Hiter's death, Fern sets out on a journey with Frieren. Due to her calm and responsible nature, she often acts like a mother to the more carefree Frieren, especially in everyday life.
シュタルク (Stark)
Voice Actor:小林千晃 (Chiaki Kobayashi)
Stark is a disciple of Eisen, who was once a warrior in Himmel's Hero Party. He has a timid nature, having fled alone when his hometown was attacked by demons and fearing combat with them. After a falling out with Eisen, he lived in a village along the Riegel Gorge for three years. Upon meeting Frieren and others, Schtaulk made a resolve and displayed his combat prowess by defeating a dragon on his own, despite his inherent fearfulness.
ザイン (Sein)
Voice Actor:中村悠一 (Yuichi Nakamura)
Sein is a cleric from a village near the Alto Forest in the northern countries. He was rescued by Frieren using a "magic to extract from the Bottomless Swamp" when he became stuck there. Sein, a naturally talented cleric, has swiftly cured poisons that his brother deemed incurable. However, he has some unclerical habits like skipping work to gamble and smoking. As a child, Sein dreamed of becoming an adventurer and went on small adventures with his best friend, the warrior Gorilla. As an adult, he gave up on adventuring, and he and Gorilla drifted apart. Persuaded by Frieren, Sein decided to embark on an adventure and joined Frieren's group to find Gorilla, who had not returned to the village.
ヒンメル (Himmel)
Voice Actor:岡本信彦 (Nobuhiko Okamoto)
Himmel was one of those who defeated the Demon King. He adventured with a party that included the cleric Hiter, the warrior Eisen, and the mage Frieren.
