One of the standouts of this series thankfully remains the art style. Sakurai’s choice to keep the animals soft and rounded is in direct contrast to the more angular feeling of the human characters. This feels deliberate and symbolic. The contrast highlights the purity and vulnerability of the animals against the guarded and often harsher nature of the people in the series. To my surprise, in Volume 2 something shifted.
This is one of my favorite volumes because we see more into Frieren. We don't just see who she was before the Hero Party, we see her as a collection of her past and present self. I love the way she managed the party she was assigned with as well.
