The concept of reviving corpses to fight and those corpses being pretty melancholy about it was a great concept. However, while Corpse Princess had a strong concept that had a lot of potential, the anime did everything it could to turn this manga story into something else.

Where To Start The Corpse Princess Manga After The Anime?
If you finished both the Corpse Princess Aka anime and the Corpse Princess Kuro anime, you can start the manga, technically, at Volume 5, Chapter 15.
However, it is very much recommended to read the Corpse Princess manga from the beginning.
What to Expect From The Corpse Princess Manga?
In Corpse Princess Aka, which is the first season of the anime, the series followed the manga in an okay way for the most part. They kept the plot intact, but made a number of changes as well as inserted a fair bit of anime-only content.
However, Corpse Princess Kuro, Season 2, just sort of did whatever it wanted with the story and had very little content from the manga.
Essentially, everything after Kensei is killed and Makina’s contract is transferred to Ouri is anime-original plot.
Is The Corpse Princess Manga Over?
The Corpse Princess manga is complete. It ended in 2014 with Volume 23, Chapter 114.
Will There Be A Corpse Princess Season 3?
As Corpse Princess Kuro did its own thing, and it it way back in 2009, it is safe to say that the Corpse Princess anime is dead and buried.
