Where To Start The Saint Young Men Manga After The Anime?
Whether you watched the 2-episode OVAs or the movie, the answer as to where you can start the Saint Young Men manga remains the same—you can start at Chapter 1.
Saint Young men is a highly slice of life series, and both the movie and OVAs does not even start at the beginning on the manga. Both adapt chapters from throughout the manga, and do change some of those chapters as well. Neither the movies or the OVAs adapt much of the beginning chapters, so you will get new story right from the start.
Do The Saint Young Men OVAs and Movie Adapt The Same Story?
The Saint Young Men OVAs and movie both adapt different chapters from the manga with very little, if any, overlap in what they were adapting. The OVAs do go into more depth as to the “why” two deities are living together, but the general consensus is the movie is the better quality product.
In essence, you can watch either one without needing to watch the other or just go right into the manga whenever.
Is The Saint Young Men Manga Over?
The Saint Young Men manga is still ongoing. Since launching in 2008, it releases volumes fairly intermittently, often skipping some years.
Will There Be A Saint Young Men Season 2?
There has been no further announcement as to more Saint Young Men anime projects. As it is such a… delicate subject in this day and age, I fear we may never see this series get a proper anime.
