What went wrong with The Silver Guardian? It started off fine enough, but over the course of the series it presented enough plot holes to sink, too sudden jumps between badass action and weird flowing school life, and a plot that always seemed to like it wanted to do a thing, but never thought much as to why.
The world may never know how it got to its seemingly mis-managed state, but it also isn’t the first China-born series I’ve seen this outcome for.

Where To Start The Silver Guardian Manga After The Anime?
The Silver Guardian anime is using the same characters, the same power system, and the same overall plot – but The Silver Guardian anime is not really adapting the manhua story. Using the core story, but telling it in a “similar, but different” way rather than adapting the source material story is not particularly uncommon in Chinese anime, even if this particular series was a Chinese-Japanese collaborative effort.
In The Silver Guardian anime, it only adapts a small handful of actual chapters from the manhua. While the anime and manhua are telling the same overall story, they are doing it quite differently at many points.
This means the only place to start The Silver Guardian manhua after the anime is at Chapter 1.
Interestingly enough, the first few chapters of The Silver Guardian are some of the only chapters actually adapted in the anime, it just didn’t adapt them until about Episode 7.
Is The Silver Guardian Manga Over?
The Silver Guardian manhua is still ongoing, in China, though the canceled official English publication of this web manga has marked it as complete.
