And so, the meandering trio of Frieren the Mage, Fern the apprentice mage, and Stark the cowardly warrior (or, cowarrior, if you will), enter into the next city to engage in a spot of brutal combat to the death with a trio of demons acting as a peace envoy and their leader, this arc's titular Aura the Guillotine. Covering chapters 14 to 23 (or middle-ish book 2 to middle-ish book 3), the story takes a different tack as we see what makes Frieren the mage of the Hero's party that slew the Demon Lord. Meanwhile, Louie has started down the path of Tokyo Ghoul, Tom revises some of his thoughts from the previous episode's review of Realist Hero's first book, and they both somehow manage to spoiler free "review" the end of Eden's Zero and it's final volume.    Follow us on Bluesky at The Mudai Manga and Book Club Podcast   Video Episodes Available on Youtube at Mudai Manga and Book Club   Email us at: MudaiMangaBookClub at Gmail.com   Main Theme: Sunrise by Meizong & Yeeflex Music provided by Argofox:Meizong & Yeeflex - Sunriseyoutu.be/-GurRvqxg3I Additional Music: Phat Phrog Studio - Echo Nexus Phat Phrog Studio - Experiment Ovani Sound - Umbrella Walk
