There was a lot more of this anime than I thought. It also plays with Eldritch lore like it knows what its doing, which was surprising.

Where To Start The Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Light Novel After The Anime?
If you finished the Haiyore! Nyaruko-san anime and wish to continue the story in the light novel, you can start at:
- If you finished the Haiyore! Nyaruko-san (2012) anime – You can start the light novel at Novel 5.
- If you finished the Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W anime – You can start the light novel at Novel 8.
- If you finished the Haiyore! Nyaruko-san F OVA – Adapts some elements of Novel 12, but is mostly-anime original.
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san adapts the light novels like it looked into the eyes of an old god. Essentially, it adapts novels throughout the series, but adapts the novels out of order and makes many changes and omissions. You would be best off reading them from the beginning.
The other two anime series, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san (2009) and Haiyore! Nyaruko-san: Remember My Love(craft-sensei) are really just working with the concept and not adapting anything particular from the light novel.
Is The Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Light Novel Over?
The Haiyore! Nyaruko-san light novel is complete. It ended in 2014 with Novel 12.
Where To Start The Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Manga After The Anime?
Haiyore! Nyaruko has two manga series, and neither of them adapt the anime or the light novel past the anime.
The titular manga series Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, adapts the first light novel and ends.
The spin-off, Haiyore! Super Nyaruko-chan Time, is just slice of life and jokes. Neither adapting nor an adaptation of either of the comedy anime.
Is The Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Manga Over?
The Haiyore! Nyaruko-san manga is complete. It ended in 2013 with Volume 2, Chapter 11.
The Haiyore! Super Nyaruko-chan Time manga is also complete. It ended in 2014 with Volume 5, Chapter 48.
Will There Be A Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Season 2?
As there hasn’t been any more anime since 2015 and the F OVA did play around with the ending of the light novels, it seems like a Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Season 2 is not going to happen.
