Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End became huge with the anime adaptation that aired in 2023-2024 on Crunchyroll. The second season is in production, and further information is expected to be announced this year (maybe at AnimeJapan 2025).
While the original manga is still on hiatus, Frieren herself has recently recommended another manga with a similar setting, and that helped to boost sales for that manga. It is an example of how popular Frieren has become.

While these posts may be teasing a collaboration between the series, it might also just be a joint action as Rumiko Takahashi has serialized most, if not all, of her work in Shonen Magazine. If this is a collab, more information should drop soon.
