Where To Start The Girl Downstairs Manhwa After The Anime?
If you finished The Girl Downstairs anime and want to continue the story in the manhwa, you can start at Chapter 54.
The anime adapts most of this chapter, but it does skip the bits that start to transition into the next part of the story. Do note that the special episode is anime-original and serves as an ending to the anime. So this start point is after Episode 22.
What to Expect From The Girl Downstairs Manhwa?
The Girl Downstairs is, for the most part, a pretty diligent adaptation of the first part of the manhwa story. The only major differences start to come in how the anime ends. After Episode 22, the special episode that follows serves as a conclusion to the story, but it is not the conclusion that the manhwa provides.
There is a rumor that Chinese fans crowdfunded the money for the special episode to give the series a happy ending as the manhwa does not one. Of course, as I cannot find any actual, trustworthy sources citing this event, please treat it with a certain degree of skepticism.
Regardless, you don’t need to read The Girl Downstairs from the beginning because it does keeps pretty true to the portion of the story it is telling, but you will need to ignore the special episode before continuing onwards.
Is The Girl Downstairs Manhwa Over?
The Girl Downstairs manhwa is complete. It ended in 2022 with Chapter 136.
Will There Be A The Girl Downstairs Season 2?
There will not be a The Girl Downstairs Season 2 anime, given the special episode does give this story a solid conclusion. It is just not the conclusion of the manhwa.
