Where To Start The Haruchika Light Novel After The Anime?
If you finished the Haruchika anime and wish to continue the story with the novels, you can start at Novel 4, Chapter 2.
It is strongly advised to read Novel 3 as the anime had a anime-original final episode, which meant Novel 3 kind of got sped through and was only about half-adapted. They also did adapt the first chapter of Novel 4 as Episode 11.
Is The Haruchika Light Novel Over?
The Haruchika light novel is still ongoing. Since starting in 2008, it hasn’t released a novel since Novel 5 in 2015.

What to Expect From The Haruchika Source Material Compared to The Anime?
The first two novels of Haruchika were adapted well. Novel 3, not so much. So it is strongly recommended to read Novel 3, but otherwise there isn’t much reason to read the Haruchika novels from the beginning unless you just want to.
Will There Be A Haruchika Season 2?
As all things Haruchika seemed to have quietly died without confirmation, it is safe to assume that the Haruchika anime will go the same way.
