The fan-favorite anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End has resumed its mini anime series titled Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End – Magic Series, with a new episode released today. Starting this month, new installments will be released on the first Wednesday of each month through September, available on the TOHO animation YouTube channel, the anime's official X (formerly Twitter) account, and TikTok.

The mini anime series originally debuted during the broadcast of Season 1, with a total of 11 episodes distributed across YouTube, X, and TikTok. These short episodes, based on original scenarios, feature official chibi character designs by illustrator Mebachi. The shorts depict Frieren and her companions experimenting with various whimsical forms of magic during their journey.

The newly released 12th episode, titled The Magic to Grow Taller, marks the return of the series. In this episode, Frieren recalls receiving a spell that makes her taller after being repeatedly patted on the head by Heiter during their travels. Heiter casually remarks that her height is "just right for head pats," prompting Frieren to consider using the spell. What unexpected results might this magical attempt bring?

The story unfolds with familiar faces from the hero’s party—Frieren, Himmel, Heiter, and Eisen—adding a touch of comedy and charm to their post-demon-lord adventures.

About Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is based on the manga of the same name, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Sunday in April 2020. The story explores the emotional and magical journey of the elf mage Frieren, set after the defeat of the Demon King. As she embarks on new adventures with her newly found companions in a world without the hero Himmel, the narrative offers a poignant and reflective fantasy experience.

With its unique premise that begins “after the final battle,” the series has captivated readers with its heartfelt moments, memorable dialogue, thrilling magic and sword fights, and unexpected humor. The manga won the prestigious Grand Prize at the Manga Taisho 2021, and its popularity has soared ever since.

At the time of the anime’s premiere, the manga had sold over 10 million copies. That number has since grown to over 24 million copies in circulation. The TV anime adaptation aired from September 2023 to March 2024, and the highly anticipated second season is set to premiere in January 2026.
