If there was an anime that would define “underrated,” Letter B, or Tegamibachi, would be it. It also seems only fitting that such an underrated anime would fully be about the adventures of fantasy mailmen.

Where To Start The Letter B Manga After The Anime?
If you are looking to continue the Letter Bee story with the manga after the anime, you can do so at Chapter 39. However, the anime deviated from the manga story early and often before parting ways altogether by the end.
The anime adapts all of Volume 11.
What to Expect From The Letter B Manga?
As was more common with anime from an older age, Letter Bee had a rather messy adaptation. It injected in filler to the series in order to not catch up with the manga too fast, and that ended up diluting a series that had to end because it caught up to its manga too fast.
While there is filler throughout the series, Letter Bee fully deviates from the manga story in the second season at Episode 8, which is after it goes through Niche’s backstory.
As there is so much fluff in the anime, it is highly recommended to read the manga from the beginning since it actually didn’t cover too many chapters because they tried to draw it out for so long.
Is The Letter B Manga Over?
The Letter B manga is completed. It ended in 2009 with Chapter 99.
Will There Be A Letter B Season 3?
Letter B was wildly underrated and underloved. Since the anime aired in 2009, which corresponded with the end of the manga, the anime was meant to hype up manga sales before the series ended. As such, a third season was never particularity likely, especially after diverging.
