Both have fantasy settings and have strong world building and magic systems in place. They have similar heartwarming stories and character development. Reading both mangas kinda feel like getting a warm hug :')) 

Similar style of fantasy manga. Both deal with the concept of living on after an adventure, and the death of companions. Both series have this more grounded fantasy world feel and are more character focused. They are also both pretty damn good aswell. 

Both stories follow long lived beings who lives among humanity and how the memories of their companions speak to the extended shelf life of the human experience. There are action and fantasy elements in both mangas but it's the quaint passage of time that ties all the stories together. 

To understand oneself. This is the concept behind these two manga, as we follow the journey of the imortals mage protagonists inside their beautyfull magical world. As the journey occur, different relationships are formed, always being able to fill our hearts with warmt. 

Soft and bittersweet manga.  

Both are "Slice of Life"-style fantasy stories dealing with the different flows of time experienced by the Elf in comparison to the non-elves. 

a tale of what happens after the journey has ended and the demon lord has been defeated.  

Both series utilizing the difference lifespan between fantasy races to estabilish plot and world building. It's very obvious in Frieren as it is the story's main plot, while in dungeon meshi it more of a sub plot that gradually revealed as the story uncover character's back story, motivation etc. 

these mangas both cover themes of loneliness while in a medieval setting. the main characters in both mangas are going on journeys across the world, which give them a similar feel. sousou no frieren is more slice of life than spice and wolf, though both have that quality 

A lively and expansive world that is imaginative as it is dangerous, where it takes one's cunning, wits, and magic/Nen to survive. The next battle for our heroes may mean life or death and often times they must work together if they are to overcome their foes. Both manga have distinct character designs, featuring people and other species from different walks of life. 

Similar to frieren, the protagonist(?) of Gilgamesh has lived for a really long time experiencing the changes in the world, deaths of his comrades and history being made, he difference is that Ram, one of the main character is an immortal. These 2 manga has a similar genre and plot but will start getting different after 40 or so chapters, the panelling is kinda old but the story, fight scene, characters and flashbacks are all well made 

Both have a long-living mc who is trying to connect with humans and cherish the short time that they have with them. If you enjoyed Frieren and Himmel, you may find something in Dam and Mishi. Dam of the Forest has no romance but it has a lot of meaningful relationships nonetheless. Dam of the forest is set in a more modern world, so no monsters or mages or anything, BUT it does have a lot of deep character writing and has realistic (and tragic ;-;) development. 

Both have a similar theme of characters exploring the setting they live in and showing the smaller moments in life they go across. Note that Sousou no Frieren is a lot more bittersweet while Dai Dark leans more towards comedy. 

Frieren and Kenshin are strikingly similar: They aren't getting rapidly stronger every chapter. They already reached their peaks and achieved great things before the show started. They were decisively involved in the most important political event in recent history. Meiji Restauration and defeat of the demon lord. They are haunted by the past, about which we slowly learn more and more. They just want to wander the lands anonymously but get interrupted by the need to help people. They have their reputation precdede them. Most strangers have heard of the Battosai and Frieren of the hero party. They didn't really care about the feelings of others before but now try to be more empathic.  read more 

Immortal memory. Omoide Emanon and Frieren at the Funeral both follow individuals who outlive the mortals they reside with, quite a lifestyle has been shown in both manga to be slightly depressing as such a preternatural being. Omoide Emanon does this with the mind, as Emanon's memories go back to when life began. Frieren at the Funeral does this with Frieren simply living as a regular immortal being would. Both are quite depressing manga, though they do have their light moments to spare for the audience. Would recommend both. 

Both series have a similar vibe around them. The MC in both series share a similar but different struggle to move on with their life. The difference between them is, Frieren focuses more on the MC's "after" journey in a continuous storyline style, Bocchi Hakase focuses more on the MC's daily life in an episodic style. 

Has a similar chill vibe to it 

Stories about people who've passed away, and other people who once were together, remembering the times they shared. <>Magi no Okurimono is more emotional than Sousou no Frieren. 

Both are in a Weekly Shonen Magazine, both emotional and cinematic manga with many great panels. 

Both have really good fantasy world building 

Both on a medieval journey, with each chapter having deeper themes. While Kuro focuses more on the journey and on a variety of different issues each character faces, Frieren has more action, and is focused on memories and emotions 

Now these are very, VERY different series, one being an edgy action series and the other a relaxed travel series, however, there are a number of similarities between the two. Both: - Exist in a high fantasy setting inspired by Germany(everything has a name that is or sounds like German!) - Have a main character with pointy ears that's much older than they look who can do magic - "Last member of the party" aspect As I said, quite different, however, I'd reccomend it. 

Feeling of loss and Survivor Guilt is the main theme of these story, both have different approach and how to handle it but have same execution wherea there's someone serve as heroine to the protagonist. Overall frieren more laid-back in other hand 86 have more mature approach to it. 

Little Devils and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End are two fantasy manga starring our typical medieval-JRPG-type hero and their villain, the nefarious demon lord... except there's one question: "What happens after the demon lord is finally vanquished?" Both manga take this one question and go on their own paths with their answers as they follow the hero's new life. One is a bit slow-paced adventure incited by tears, and one is more of a light-hearted childcare comedy—with both main characters meeting new friends along the way. 

While Mushishi is less emotional when compare to Sousou no Frieren, they both focusing on the lingering memory of the past and the way the protagonist keep moving on. Moreover, both have strong presence of how the protagonist enjoy their present to the fullest.  

Two girls travel the world after the last vestiges of war with a lot of memory and philosophy involved. 

Do you like elf? or Tsundere? .. or both? One of the best (tsundere) elf you can find, comparable to main char of Sousou no Frieren. Both stories have refreshing elements of fantasy, romance and comedy. The art in both these manga are very details and exceptional. Recommend both if you like good and unique story telling. 

To understand oneself. This is the concept behind these two manga, as we follow the journey of the mage protagonists inside their beautyfull magical world. As the journey occur, different relationships are formed, always being able to fill our hearts with warmt. In Ran to hairo, we follow a protagonist understanding what is growing up, while in Sousou no Frieren we follow the reminescent of the good times of the past. 

Do you like an experienced and old person travelling a fantasy world and enjoying experience life? The both of these are for you. In Sousou no Frieren magic is heavily used while there might be bigger plots in Henkyou no Roukishi Bard Loen concerning countries. Both have a "slow" pace, or rather it is not rushed. Would recommend both! 

While the main theme of both of these stories is very different from each other, but i just couldn't help but see how the world building in frieren is literally just screaming the iconic and monumental record of lodoss war. 

Frieren of the Funerals is one of the series that reminds at that death is just around the corner. When I first read Sousou no Frieren. Grimgar comes close to mind. It has a slice of life dialogues and it's about reminiscing their former comrades and continuing to live on even for their former comrades. Sadly, Grimgar manga was axed but I do recommend to take on the light novel. 

Both works are journeys. The protagonists did not go on their adventures because they needed, or in face of an imminent danger: they simply wanted to do it. In their journeys, they find other people, they learn, each step at a time as they draw closer to their objectives, and in this, they find meaning. Also, both of them are very well written with interesting worlds and concepts, and pass beautifully emotional messages.  

A timeless elf travels with her group along the path of the hero. A master travels with his disciples and meets with old gods. Somewhat similar tone and both are an absolute blast. 

The Awakening of a Great Saint has a similar fantasy premise of Frieren: A post-demon king world. Frieren develops the philosophical aspect of a setting like that with a melancholic atmosphere, while The Awakening of a Great Saint tries to find ways of creating lighthearted adventures with this premise, some chapters borders on slice of life. 

Sousou no Frieren and Flying Witch are both manga series with a casual slice-of-life tone, although Sousou no Frieren leans more towards action/adventure while Flying Witch leans more towards comedy. Both are also very good at constructing a world rich with magic that at the same time feels lived in. Both series also have growing as a person as a central theme, although with Flying Witch that growth is about Makoto figuring out who she wants to be, while Sousou no Frieren is about Frieren learning to connect with others. Finally, tying in with that theme of growth, both series have a theme of the journey itself being important - for Makoto, that journey is how she tries different things while trying to figure out what she wants; for Frieren, the journey is basically an excuse for the party to go on a sightseeing tour and enjoy each others' company. read more
