Even among the over-saturation, Saga of Tanya The Evil stands unique in the realm of isekai. It balances being overpowered with being thoroughly screwed by circumstance nicely, but like most isekai series, the source material of this story is a girthy one. It is particularly refreshing to see an isekai that is not just another medieval fantasy world.

Where To Start The Saga of Tanya The Evil Light Novel After The Anime?
If you do want to pick up the Saga of Tanya The Evil light novel after the first season of anime, you can do so at Novel 3, which the anime ends about halfway through.
If you watched the movie, which is a continuation of the story, you would then need to start most of the way through Novel 4.
Is The Saga of Tanya The Evil Light Novel Over?
While the Saga of Tanya The Evil web novel is complete, the light novel is still ongoing. Since launching in 2013, it has released at a somewhat inconsistent pace in recent years. Expect anywhere from one to three releases per year.
Where To Start The Saga of Tanya The Evil Manga After The Anime?
Saga of Tanya The Evil also has a manga. You can start the Saga of Tanya The Evil manga after the first season of anime at Chapter 60.
While you will see elements of the Saga of Tanya the Evil movie past that, it is worth noting that the manga starts to differ significantly from the light novel and the anime story. While starting after where Season 1 ends in the manga is possible, it is still recommended to read the manga from the beginning.
Is The Saga of Tanya The Evil Manga Over?
The Saga of Tanya The Evil manga is still ongoing. Since launching in 2016, it usually releases at a three-volume per year pace.
What to Expect From The Saga of Tanya The Evil Source Material Compared to The Anime?
It is important to note that while the anime is adapting the light novels fairly diligently, the manga is different from the story that the light novels and anime series are telling at some significant points. It grows increasingly different over time, and should probably be read from the beginning instead.
Outside of that, the Saga of Tanya The Evil anime trims out the finer details from the light novel. However, nothing skipped would prevent you from continuing the story in the light novel.
Will There Be A Saga of Tanya The Evil Season 2?
While a Saga of Tanya The Evil Season 2 was announced in 2021, there has been no further news on the subject. However, it was still confirmed to be in the works by the author in a light novel release in 2023, so… At least it hasn’t been canceled?
The manga, now on chapter 102, still has to catch up with where the movie ends before the credits. I could within a chapter or two but the anime is even more different to the manga than the LN so contrasting is borderline pointless.
