5.0

This navigates to a really good mix of action and slice of life. There is a fantastic battle-of-sorts, between Frieren and a demon that served to hit every aspect this story has done so well. We uncover more of the past, more worldbuilding around demons and the past occurs, and the resolution of a conflict is done in an unexpected and different manner than you’d find typical in the format. 

Also, the additional characters are well fleshed out and it continues to try to communicate Frieren’s character while being quietly subversive. Be it cozy or otherwise. Though, it is decidedly going away from the cozy aspect of the first volume. I hope it still pops up, from time to time, though.
