With age, all anime series become a little more obscure and forgotten as even the diehard fans drift off into new things, but Kekkaishi was always one of those “underrated” shounen anime that didn’t have the art nor an appealing plot synopsis to hook people in.
That is also probably why it came from the age of long-running shounen action anime with only 52 episodes. However, Kekkaishi has its charms and does pack in a nice amount of character development, even if it lacks any substantial unique hooks.

Where To Start The Kekkaishi Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Kekkaishi anime and wish to continue the story with the manga, you can start at Chapter 122.
The anime adapts six chapters of ten total chapters in Volume 13.
What to Expect From The Kekkaishi Manga?
As an adaptation, the Kekkaishi anime was “fine, but not great” when it come to adapting the source material. It does cover the core story, but it skips quite few chapters and character moments only to add in anime-original scenes at different times.
While you can still pick up the manga at the start point and still be able to understand the story, you would get a more complete story reading the manga from the beginning.
Is The Kekkaishi Manga Over?
The Kekkaishi manga is complete. It ended in 2011 with Chapter 345.
Will There Be A Kekkaishi Season 2?
Well, the anime ended in 2008, and even in 2008 it wasn’t particularly popular. More Kekkaishi anime simply isn’t in the cards.
