Week 1 葬送のフリーレン ・Frieren 🧝‍♂️ (Beginner Book Club)

Not sure if I should be posting this in the current week’s thread, but I’m catching up late - also first time book clubbing. Thanks to all who contributed to the spreadsheet!

Just a question regarding the blank boxes in the top right of panel 2 on page 15. Is that supposed to represent the passage of time, or act sort of like a “blah, blah, blah”, or another meaning I might be missing?

Questions about a page go on the thread for that page’s week so that they are all together and easier to find.

Yes! I would “translate” it as “Some time later…” or something like that

Yep, it’s a standard manga technique to indicate that some time has passed, and we’re now in a different scene.

Yay, finally started reading. And… I love this story already!!! Loving the melancholy vibe even just in the beginning, meeting Frieren’s friends and knowing she will outlive them because she’s an elf.

I just bought this at Kinokuniya! Even though it might be above my level, I’ve been interested in this series recently so I’ll give it a go (after finishing Cardcaptor Sakura :sweat_smile:)
