Sousou no Frieren - Vol. 4 Ch. 33 - Grandfather Voll

Grandfather Voll is truly a great man, honouring his dead wife's wish for centuries is truly remarkable.
 
I love this story. It presents the idea of what sort of life an "immortal" person would have. Frieren is not immortal but you can grasp the concept; just watching your friends, family and teachers pass you by in what seems to be an instant to somebody with that long of a lifespan. Grandpa Voll's short story further shows this and damn, it really hits you.
 
God, it's honestly unbelievable that a story with all the surface-level trappings of a dime-a-dozen fantasy adventure manga can continually deliver emotional gut punches this hard again and again and again. What a story.

And when you realize too that Frieren won't forget their faces because Himmel put so much care into the statues...
