(4.50/5)Lots of vocab, but relatively simple structures
The wistful tone of Frieren (meaning, generally, lower amounts of text and shorter sentences) and plentiful furigana make this an extremely good introduction for fantasy vocabulary, of which there is a lot. It's also a decent source for emotional vocabulary as well given the manga's focus on making sense of the main character's interiority. Also, more to the point, it's just a wonderful read.
Slow start to an incredible story
Just like the anime, this is a very slow start, and while I can appreciate some things more now, it took me a few tries to finally finish this volume.
If you pick this up and feel bored, you may want to: 1. Push through it for now, 2. Watch the anime instead (it's an extremely faithful adaptation that really enhances everything, from what I've read).
Personally, I may just skip to vol 7 (the anime left off at ch 60/61), if I continue.
