Frieren Books Beyond the Manga
A fanbook, a prequel novel, two bundled novellas, and an art book.
The Frieren shelf extends past the fifteen volumes in four documented directions. The official fanbook (January 12, 2024) collects series information, illustrations, summaries and the creators' initial rough character designs. The prose line is written by Mei Hachimoku: the Prelude novel (April 17, 2024) and the short novellas bundled with special editions.
An art book, Frieren Art Book Vol. 1, is also in the publisher's catalogue listings. It is recorded here as it stands in those listings; a verified copy has not passed through this Library's hands, so no date or contents are claimed for it.
THE PROSE
Mei Hachimoku's FrierenPrelude
Five original short stories centred on Frieren, Fern, Stark, Kanne, Lawine and Aura, written under Yamada's supervision. Yen Press published the English edition on March 24, 2026.
The 24-page novella
Sora ni Hana wo Sakaseru Mahō, "the magic to make flowers bloom in the sky," bundled with the special edition of volume 14 (March 18, 2025).
The volume 15 booklet
Volume 15's special edition (December 18, 2025) again carried a Hachimoku short-story booklet, the pattern now established: the newest volume arrives with new prose.

The art book
