What started as a meme-worthy otaku comedy did actually manifest a little more heart than I was expecting as it went on. However, I can appreciate that Umaru never quite lost he lazy layabout self throughout all of that.

Where To Start The Himouto! Umaru-chan Manga After The Anime?
If you have watched both season of Himouto! Umaru-chan (Season 1 and R) as well as the OVAs, you can start the Himouto! Umaru-chan manga at Chapter 140.
The anime adapts fifteen chapters of the eighteen total chapters in Volume 8.
What to Expect From The Himouto! Umaru-chan Manga?
Each chapter of the Himouto! Umaru-chan manga is only about nine pages long, so the manga is often even more random than the anime. Unfortunately, because the chapters are often so short and not always interconnect by a plot thread, it allowed the anime to skip around some as well as skip tons of chapters.
There are quite a few chapters that the Himouto! Umaru-chan anime did not adapt. So while you don’t really need to read the manga from the beginning for any skipped plot, as this series has only a little bit of actual plot, it is strongly recommended to read it from the beginning for all the chapters that were skipped.
Is The Himouto! Umaru-chan Manga Over?
The Himouto! Umaru-chan manga is complete. It ended in 2017 with Chapter 229.
That said, Himouto! Umaru-chan does have a few spin-offs including:
- Himouto! Umaru-chan G (Manga, Complete) – Single-volume sequel to the original manga.
- Himouto! Umaru-chan S (Manga, Complete) – Takes place in a world with multiple Umaru’s. Was adapted into 2-minute anime shorts that were released with the Blu-rays.
- Akita Imokko! Ebina-chan (Manga, Complete) – Spin-off following Ebina. Takes place after the ending of the Himouto! Umaru-chan manga.
- Himouto! Umaru-chan N (Light Novel, Complete) – Single-novel light novel adaptation of the manga.
Will There Be A Himouto! Umaru-chan Season 3?
With both the anime and manga both long over, a Himouto! Umaru-chan Season 3 anime is pretty unlikely.
