While there are ten tons of “OP MC goes to magic school” series out there, Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor dared to actually make logical sense by making the OP MC a teacher at magic school instead of a student who probably could teach the teachers.
While his charming scoundrel persona masks a dark past, the story you see in the Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor anime is a bit of a pale facsimile of its source material.

Where To Start The Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor Light Novel After The Anime?
If you finished the Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor anime and want to continue the story with the light novel, you can start at Novel 6.
Technically, the anime adapts Novel 5, but it does so pretty badly. As the anime heavily abridges the light novel story, it is recommended to read this series from the beginning. However, if nothing else, the anime really drops in quality when it gets to the content of Novel 4 and 5. Reading what the anime covered in manga form is also a viable alternative.
Is The Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor Light Novel Over?
The Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor light novel is complete. It ended in 2023 with Novel 24.
While the main light novel series is complete, the author still continues to release side stories and short stories set in the world in the lenghty Memory Record of Bastard Magic Instructor novel series which has, as of 2024, nine novels.
Where To Start The Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor anime and want to read the manga, you can start at Chapter 35.
That would be officially called Chapter XXXV since the series, frustratingly, uses roman numeral numbering.
The anime adapts two chapters of the four total chapters in Volume 8.
Is The Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor Manga Over?
The Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor manga is complete. It ended in 2021 with Chapter 78.

Will There Be An Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor Season 2?
As the anime aired in 2017 and both the manga and light novels are complete, it seems that an Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor Season 2 is very unlikely at this point.
