I remember when Back Street Girls was about to come out and everyone was worried it would be one of those offensive anime series that would attract the dreaded “Twitter attention” that some anime series get sometimes.
…and then it just turned out to be pretty funny and not actually that transphobic. Or at least, not as much as it could have been.

Where To Start The Back Street Girls: Gokudolls Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Back Street Girls: Gokudolls anime and wish to start the manga, you can so so at, technically, Chapter 56.
What to Expect From The Back Street Girls: Gokudolls Manga?
The anime adaptation plays fast and loose with what it adapts and when it adapts it. For example, that start chapter is after the interview with the Enka singer/the boss’ wife where she starts the Gokudolls Victims Club.
That said, the anime skips a lot. A whole lot. Now, Gokudolls is a comedy manga, so you aren’t missing plot, but you are missing pretty good jokes.
Is The Back Street Girls: Gokudolls Manga Over?
The Back Street Girls: Gokudolls manga is complete. It ended in 2018 with Chapter 144.
Will There Be A Back Street Girls: Gokudolls Season 2?
Given the niche nature the story and the lackluster animation budget, I would say a Back Street Girls: Gokudolls Season 2 anime is very unlikely.
Furthermore, the anime premiere coincided with the manga finishing. This means it was an anime series to boost manga sales one final time. While some anime start off this way, are profitable, and get continued – the time frame for that to be true has passed.
