Chapter 140 of Frieren: Beyond the Journey’s End is out, and things were far more underwhelming than expected. While the previous chapter made it seem like the manga was ready to jump into action, the latest chapter has just teased the start of the ball that Serie was invited to, and right when things were going to get exciting, a hiatus was announced.
In this article, we’ll discuss the happenings of chapter 140 of Frieren: Beyond the Journey’s End. Besides this, we’ll also reveal the speculations for chapter 141 of the manga.
1. Frieren Manga Goes On Indefinite Hiatus
Frieren: Beyond The Journey’s End manga will be going on a hiatus after the release of chapter 140. The duration of the hiatus is unknown. The latest issue of the manga revealed this information in its last panel.

The authors of the Frieren manga, Tsukasa Abe and Kanehito Yamada taking occasional breaks is nothing new. They have previously taken breaks that go from a few weeks to several months as well. One common aspect of all these breaks is the fact that they came back with an even better story. While breaks can be frustrating for fans, we ask you to be patient, as breaks taken by authors are an essential part of the story-making process.
2. Frieren Chapter 140 Recap
Chapter 140 of Frieren was really lukewarm compared to the previous chapter, as not much relevant new information was dropped. The chapter started out with everyone, including Frieren, Serie, and the first-class mages, discussing the preparation for the ball. Serie informed everyone that the emperor hadn’t limited her guests to a certain number, so she’d be taking everyone along with her.
After this, first-class mage Land asked Serie why she paired him up with Übel, as he didn’t think they were compatible at all. To this, she said she thought he’d find the royal capital to be nostalgic. She then tried to say something about his parents but was cut off by Land, who didn’t seem to want his past revealed in front of everyone. She finally said that she didn’t think he and Übel were incompatible and that he should learn to cooperate and control her for his own good.

The next scene featured an interesting situation where Frieren needed her hair tied, but Fern was too busy getting dressed for the ball to attend to Frieren. Here, Serie told Frieren that if requested, she’d tie Frieren’s hair. Frieren obviously reacted negatively to this.
Serie then told her that she had no intent of dragging Frieren into their operation. While Sense did factor in the possibility of Frieren getting involved, Serie explained that she would still be unbothered if Frieren chose to leave with Fern at any point. She even emphasized that even if Frieren’s party were to leave, and even if the empire mobilized all their forces to assassinate Serie, they would still fail. Frieren then hinted to Serie that Sense likely got Frieren involved in their plan to ensure that her beloved mentor stayed safe.
Interestingly enough, we got to see Serie show a shred of emotion for the first time in the series at this moment. She even politely offered to tie Frieren’s hair, which Frieren obviously refused. Serie then offered to tie Sense’s hair. While Serie fixed Sense’s hair, Sense asked her why she was selected to command this operation, as there were more competent first-class mages like Lernen who were more suitable. Serie explained that Lernen was banished from the Royal capital half a century ago.
Serie has shown much change since the last first-class mage trials. She chose only those first-class mages who asked for spells different from what she hoped for as a privilege for passing the first-class trials. Like Fern had asked for a laundry spell, Sense asked for a spell that would let her sleep soundly even after killing people. Serie explained that since these mages acted differently from what she expected, she actually expected them to exceed her expectations.
It would seem that Serie has changed for the better. While she only believed in absolute power previously, it would seem that she now is passionate about her pupils who weren’t actively trying to be at the peak of magic. The chapter ended with all the first-class mages and Frieren’s party making a grand entrance to the ball.
3. What To Expect In Chapter 141?
Since chapter 140 has ended with the beginning of the ball, we can expect chapter 141 of Frieren: Beyond The Journey’s End to reveal a few new characters, especially the Emperor of the royal capital who invited the Continental Magic Association to the Ball. Besides this, we will also likely see the next move of the Shadow warriors who wish to exterminate Serie.
Frieren’s return from its hiatus would likely mark the start of a mindblowing arc packed with action and emotions, and we’ll be around to cover it on the day of its release.
