There is this thing that happens in my brain where I confused this lovely child heist anime with Kaito Kid from Detective Conan because of their similar name and because they are actually kind of similar as characters, but one of these Kaitos are a bit cuter than the other.

Where To Start The Kaito Joker Manga After The Anime?
If you finished all four seasons of the Kaito Joker anime and want to continue the story in the manga, you can start at Chapter 2.
As Kaito Joker is an episodic series, they adapted chapters from throughout the Kaito Joker manga into the anime at random. While Episode 1 of the first season is indeed adapting the first chapter of manga, Episode 2 is Chapter 11, Episode 3 is Chapter 16, ect.
As the anime does skip a large chunk of chapters as well as makes a few minor changes to events, including some anime-original content and changing slightly changing Hachi into more of a comic relief character, it is best to read Kaito Joker from the beginning.
Is The Kaito Joker Manga Over?
The Kaito Joker manga is complete. It ended in 2017 with Volume 26, Chapter 135.
(They released chapter 134 and chapter 135 in 2019 as a bonus.)
Will There Be A Kaito Joker Season 5?
There has been no official announcement of a Kaito Joker Season 5 anime.
It got four seasons, but when it didn’t get a Season 5 announcement after the manga ended, I think hope for more kind of died.
