When Will Frieren Chapter 148 Come Out? Release Timeline Details
The release date of Frieren chapter 148 will be announced in future issues of the Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine. New chapters of Frieren are usually released once every two weeks. Thus, it can be estimated that the new schedule might shift the release to once per month or once every three weeks.
Previously, the manga was on a hiatus from January 7th, 2025, to July 22nd, 2025. The series often goes on unexpected hiatuses due to its creators’ health issues. The last break was of five months, and if the same happens again, Frieren chapter 148 might be released sometime after April 2026, although nothing has been confirmed yet.
What Will Happen in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Chapter 148
The Frieren manga is currently in the middle of the Foundation Festival Arc. In this arc, a threat to Serie’s life has been discovered, and Frieren’s Party has teamed up with four other first-class mages to defend her on her invitation to a ball at the end of the Imperial Capital’s Foundation Festival.
In chapter 147, the manga emphasized the backstory of Lowe, the Governor General of the Lorbeer Domain. However, he is one of the Empire’s Shadow Warriors and is the leading man in the plot to assassinate Serie. In chapter 147, it was revealed that Lowe wants to abolish magic from the world and return it to its ‘original state’.
He was raised in the Southern Lands and was a victim of the rampant magical usage in the area. His brother was killed due to magic, and his entire town was demolished, leading to him losing his parents at a young age. Thus, he has come to detest magic, and targeting Serie is a way to achieve a magicless world.
In chapter 148, more about the plot to kill Serie might be revealed. It might also reveal more about Lowe and his intentions, as well as the reasoning behind why he came to blame magic for his sufferings. Hopefully, the next chapter will also reveal what Frieren and her party have prepared to safeguard Serie.
