Radiant may just be a pretty shounen-style French manga – or “manfra,” as I guess it is called, but you have to give it credit. It is French in origin, yet almost indistinguishable from any other Japanese shounen manga AND well-liked enough to get an actual Japanese anime adaptation. It’s a pretty big achievement for the author, truly.

Where To Start The Radiant Manga After The Anime?
If you finished both seasons of the Radiant anime and wish to continue the story with the manga, you can start at Chapter 76.
The anime adapts all chapters but the last one of Volume 10.
What to Expect From The Radiant Manga?
Like most shounen adventures, Radiant is a pretty linear, arc-based affair which makes adapting the story – and picking up the manga afterwards – very easy. There is no need to read it from the beginning since it is pretty diligent in adapting everything.
Is The Radiant Manga Over?
The Radiant is still ongoing. Since launching in 2018, it has had a somewhat inconsistent release schedule. However, in recent years, it has released around three volumes per year.
Will There Be A Radiant Season 3?
The has been no official announcement of a Radiant Season 3 anime.
Personally, I am surprised it got two seasons. However, Japanese audiences like shounen and Japanese people have a love for French things akin to Western weebs and their love of Japan. Given Season 2 ended in 2019, it has been long enough that Radiant Season 3 has become unlikely.
