I'll go a bit against the grain and say that dumping 15 new characters at once, plus a couple of shadowy organizations that have always been there, just out of frame! feels very awkward. I guess the first class mage exam arch also started like that? I experienced that one through the anime.

Then again somebody mentioned Frieren seems to do the tropey shonen arcs well, with some nice twists thrown it. I almost dropped the exam arc because it felt like any other generic exam/tournament arc, butbthey pulled me back eventually.

I agree it's awkward but the exam arc working out so well is why I have hope that they can pull that trick again. Then again perhaps doing it right once is perhaps not proof-positive you can keep on doing it.

That's a surprising origin out of nowhere. So Frieren was part of the CIA...

I don't think there is an organization called the Holy Wand Court, I think over hundreds of years mages have told stories about being defeated by an elf with a Holy Wand symbol and they assumed they were different elves because of the time frame, but it was actually all just Frieren.

Y'know I think Frieren is one of the few comics I feel fine with going on hiatus. Growing up in the aughts and watching my favorite webcomics flicker out due to "hiatus's" make me dread the term, but this one is always back and recharged.

IIRC, it went on hiatus a bit before the anime was announced and the hiatus ended right before the first episode dropped.

Yes I believe a few chapters after the Golden City arc , right after Frieren is sent back in time and the conclusion of the time arc.

Honestly only one of the hiatuses felt like a hiatus, the others ended so quickly I was a few chapters behind before I realized it was running again.

Last year it went on hiatus for 2 months, came back for three chapters and then went back on hiatus for another 5 months.

This time it's going to be a 2 year hiatus where we find out later the mangaka was playing Idolmaster the entire time.

Yeah, the word hiatus freaks me out because of growing up reading webcomics because it might as well mean "canceled" there (oh, and seeing the pain of being a Hunter x Hunter fan...) but I'm getting used to seeing the word used appropriately.

It helps knowing that the author clearly has a plan... for at least this one arc, I'm sure

At least on this series the author has had good reasons to go on hiatus and comes back in a reasonable amount of time proportional to the cause. More manga should take breaks like this for the health of the staff.

I am sorry. I have no vices for you to exploit.

I totally agree with the above. At the same time, it would be nice if vague timeframes were given because, the manga industry being the way it is, it's also reasonable for fans to kinda worry when a series is prone to going on hiatus. More manga should go on planned breaks though. People like Oda are crazy.

VIZ makes the most recent few chapters available free:
https://www.viz.com/vizmanga/frieren-the-journeys-end-chapter-130/chapter/42681?action=read

I don't have anywhere near the language knowledge to compare the translation quality vs the original material, but the VIZ stuff tends to be more readable to me in English at least.

Downside is the image quality for the art is worse and there's some weird artifacting in how the pages are tiled in Firefox for me.

So, Denken and Gluck are getting involved too, huh? This arc is such a clusterfuck. Basically, all that remains at this point is some Great Demon appearing to say hi.

I think Viz uses lower-quality art for its first appearance on the app and then goes back and replaces it with a final version whenever the volume comes out in print.
