What’s better than a cute father-daughter anime that is filled with as many laughs as there are tender moments? One where it doesn’t turn into an uncomfortable romance by the end. It happens, and it happens too often. Regardless, Kakushigoto started as a seemingly silly comedy, but manifested a lot of tender heart by the end.

Kakushigoto is technically a complete adaptation of the manga, but one where it is still recommended to read the manga from the beginning even after watching the anime since it leaves so much out.
Chapters in the Kakushigoto manga are only between 5 to 10 pages long, and many of them are just random slice of life stories. As such, the anime often plucked random chapters that do have more plot content from ALL of the complete twelve volumes of manga to string together in the more cohesive story that the anime presents you.
This means that you will see bits and pieces from the anime in every volume, but no volume is fully adapted into anime.
There is no simple place to start the Kakushigoto manga after the anime, and the only real answer is to read the manga from the beginning.
