While often wildly debated as a great representation of transgender and gender identity or a terrible representation of transgender and gender identity, it is is just nice to see “something” out there trying to explore these complicated issues, you know?
While Wandering Son has its issues, it did provide a thoughtful glimpse into the struggles that many people have to go through, often privately.

Where To Start The Wandering Son Manga After The Anime?
The only answer as to where to start the Wandering Son manga after the anime is Chapter 1.
This isn’t the normal, unsatisfying “it’s just better to read it from the beginning” answer that you get from most manga fans, but rather, the Wandering Son anime starts at Chapter 34 of the manga. So the anime actually starts about halfway into the series and never covers the first 33 chapters.
Aside from starting in the middle, the Wandering Son anime did do a good job adapting chapters 24 through 82.
You also have the option of enjoying the side series, Boku wa, Onnanoko, or “He said “I’m a Girl”,” which is short stories about gender identity, romance, and parental relationships.
Is The Wandering Son Manga Over?
The Wandering Son manga is complete. It ended in 2013 with Chapter 123.
Will There Be A Wandering Son Season 2?
Wandering Son premiered as an anime of great debate and controversy, and still lives there to this day. As it aired in 2011 to record-setting low ratings, more Wandering Son anime is unlikely to every happen.
