If there were only one word used to describe this manga it would be "bittersweet".
Very emotional, constantly mentions death and how to move on and remember loved ones that have passed.
I mean we all know that Himmel had feelings for her and she for him (probably only to realise it after his death) . The journey that she sets off to comprises of lots of remembrance, in every little thing she seems to recall what Himmel had done for her, all his words, the places that they have their traces, counting the year after his death is so since age and years initially never really matter to her due to her long years to come
It's been a while since I've read a series that could make me laugh, cry, smile, get upset, and fill me with existential dread all at the same time. Scratch that, that's never happened. This is honestly a masterpiece of a story, such good world building and interesting characters. I can't find a single complaint in me.
What always remains constant is change itself and this story is based on a person who is both fighting against it and for it. A truly saudade adventure.
@twicefan Of course. We rate manga by quality, and it is truly a masterpiece of universal acclaim. Frieren is fantastic, but Monke is superior in every way.
