With its thoughtful story and deeply emotional themes, the series has resonated with audiences worldwide.
However, its success was anything but expected.
The main concern was that the protagonist, Frieren, was not conventionally likable.
According to@MangaMoguraREon X, the initial skepticism from the editorial team stemmed from Frierens personality.
Unlike many fantasy protagonists, she is not cheerful or particularly expressive.
Instead, she is a reserved and melancholic elf, shaped by centuries of experience.
Oshima initially suggested that Frieren should be made more pleasant to improve the storys appeal.
Frierens personality also allows for a more reflective stpry.
Frierens reserved nature makes her emotional growth feel more meaningful.
