While living in an apartment full of yokai and dealing with all the various supernatural occurrences is pretty standard for a supernatural anime plot, there sure was a lot of interesting characters and character relationships in Elegant Yokai Apartment Life that weren’t so standard. Really, that became a big part of its charm.

Where To Start The Elegant Yokai Apartment Life Light Novel After The Anime?
While there is definitely the same story going on in the Elegant Yokai Apartment Life light novel at times, the Elegant Yokai Apartment Life anime is very much adapting the manga story rather than the light novel. Furthermore, the Elegant Yokai Apartment Life manga continues the story past where the light novel ended.
As the Elegant Yokai Apartment Life light novel does have so many differences, there no really good point to jump into it after the anime.
Is The Elegant Yokai Apartment Life Light Novel Over?
The Elegant Yokai Apartment Life light novel is complete. It ended in 2013 with Novel 11.
Where To Start The Elegant Yokai Apartment Life Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Elegant Yokai Apartment Life anime and want to continue the story with the manga, you can start at Volume 11, Chapter 51.
Is The Elegant Yokai Apartment Life Manga Over?
The Elegant Yokai Apartment Life manga is complete. It ended in 2021 with Volume 24, Chapter 120.
However, the Elegant Yokai Apartment Life story continues in the Peru Arc manga, which is still ongoing. The Peru Arc started in 2021, and releases two to three volumes per year. The labeling is also a bit odd in that The Peru Arc is considered a spin-off and a separate series, but is also very much a continuation and continues the manga chapter numbering onwards from Chapter 120 as well. So everything after Volume 24 is spin-off about Yushi traveling the world, but you will still see it lumped in with the main series.
So, in essence, the manga is still ongoing, but there will be sources that says it is not.
What to Expect From The Elegant Yokai Apartment Life Source Material Compared to The Anime?
The Elegant Yokai Apartment Life light novel has similar characters and a lot of similar story moments, but the Elegant Yokai Apartment Life anime is definitely adapting the story as the manga is telling it.
So while you definitely need to read the Elegant Yokai Apartment Life light novel from the beginning due to how different the story can be at some moments, you don’t actually need to read the manga from the beginning if you watched the anime.
Will There Be A Elegant Yokai Apartment Life Season 2?
As the anime aired in 2017, it is probably safe to say that there won’t be a Elegant Yokai Apartment Life Season 2 anime.
