The only answer as to where to start the Wandering Son manga after the anime is Chapter 1.

This isn’t the normal, unsatisfying “it’s just better to read it from the beginning” answer that you get from most manga fans, but rather, the Wandering Son anime starts at Chapter 34 of the manga. So the anime actually starts about halfway into the series and never covers the first 33 chapters.

Aside from starting in the middle, the Wandering Son anime did do a good job adapting chapters 24 through 82.

You also have the option of enjoying the side series, Boku wa, Onnanoko, or “He said “I’m a Girl”,” which is short stories about gender identity, romance, and parental relationships.
