The critically acclaimed manga “ Sousou no Frieren – Beyond Journey's
End ” has announced that it will enter an
indefinite suspension after the publication of its next chapter. This
information has been confirmed through a leak from Weekly Shonen Sunday
magazine, generating concern among fans of the work who have been faithfully
following the journey of Frieren and his companions.
This is not the first time that Sousou no Frieren has
faced interruptions in its publication. In fact, temporary suspensions
have become a recurring trend in the history of the manga, which has
significantly delayed the progress of its narrative. Although no
specific details have been given about the reason for this new pause, it is
speculated that it could be related to the health of one of the authors, or
perhaps to a reorganization to guarantee the continued quality of the series.
On the other hand, the anime adaptation of “Sousou no
Frieren” continues to be a resounding success. Currently, Madhouse
studios are working on the production of a second season, after the excellent
reception that the first one had. This faithfully adapted the first 60
chapters of the manga, leaving a considerable margin of material to cover,
given that the original series has 139 chapters published to date.
However, the manga's constant suspensions pose a
significant challenge for the franchise's future. Despite the success
of the animated adaptation, a potential third season could be compromised if
the original story does not progress sufficiently. The lack of source
material could put a damper on any plans to continue expanding this universe,
no matter how positive the audience reception is.
Fans are now awaiting more information and trusting
that the author and his team can overcome the current obstacles , allowing this
unique story to continue to captivate hearts both in the pages of the manga and
on the screens.
