Get ready for a long wait, adventurers. The official accounts for Kanehito Yamada (story) and Tsukasa Abe's (art) highly acclaimed manga, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, have announced the series is entering an extended hiatus in Weekly Shonen Sunday.

The announcement cited health concerns for both creators and stated the break is necessary to "adjust the serialization pace and publication format to deliver the continuation of the story".

THE IMPORTANT DETAILS

• The Break: The manga serialization will go on hiatus until further notice after the release of Chapter 147.

• The Reason: The decision was made to allow the creators time to recover and address health concerns.

• Anime Status (GOOD NEWS): Fans can breathe a sigh of relief—the production of Season 2 is not expected to be impacted. The second season, which covers the crucial Continued Northern Travels Arc, is still scheduled to premiere on January 16, 2026.

While this is the fourth break since the manga's 2020 debut, fans understand that what are a few months or a year to an immortal elf? The creators should take all the time they need to ensure the high quality of the series remains intact.
