While this series is an easy one to overlook, it is one of those gems that creates a captivating world and makes it so you actively have to see what happens after the anime ends. While a season 2 is supposedly, surprisingly, on the docket, you can still get a little sneak peek with the source material.

Where To Start The In/Spectre Light Novel After The Anime?

Is The In/Spectre Light Novel Over?
The In/Spectre light novel is ongoing, but it is slow going. It only released Novel 6, which was short stories, in 2023 an often goes years between releasing more.
What to Expect From The In/Spectre Source Material Compared to The Anime?
In/Spectre started life as a singular novel. It was then adapted to manga, then a light novel series sprang up. Fans tend to prefer the manga most. In/Spectre is a lot of dialogue and the manga art does help keep the dense walls of talking a little more interesting. The manga is also the longest entry.
Whether you prefer the light novel or the manga, there is a very large consideration to keep in mind when coming from the anime. That consideration is that the anime does the arcs out of order. So, for example, the last episode of season two was a short story told after the Iron lady Nanase arc (which was Season 1 in the anime). The Yuki-Onna Arc at the beginning of season 2 happened after all the rest of the arcs of season two in the source material.
However, even though the arcs are out of order, the anime adapts them rather diligently so you don’t need to read the series from the beginning.
Will There Be A In/Spectre Season 3?
There has been no official announcement of a In/Spectre Season 3 anime.
In/Spectre is actually quite popular, and it getting a second season supports that. Given that the manga is also seen as the primary source material, and there is still plenty to adapt, a season 3 seems likely someday.
