The Eminence in Shadow has come to an end for now. However, there's more content for fans of the isekai anime. If you're wondering where to start reading The Eminence in Shadow after the anime, we're here to help.

The Eminence in Shadow's manga and light novel have a strong fan base in their own right.

Even if you had some issues with the anime adaptation, you might enjoy checking them out.

If you're thinking of getting into The Eminence in Shadow's manga, we strongly recommend starting from the beginning.

For those who don't have time, chapter 46 would be a good starting point that will refresh your memory of the last conflict we saw in season 2 and let you move on to new plot points.

Of course, neither the manga nor the light novel of The Eminence in Shadow are the same as the anime.

This means that starting at any random point might be confusing even if the anime has covered the same events.

The manga is currently quite short at 61 chapters. Of course, we expect it to be updated and grow substantially before concluding.

That being said, 61 chapters are very few and therefore manageable for new fans.

Many popular titles, especially shonen anime with action sequences, tend to have a minimum of 200 chapters. Some have a lot more, making it daunting for newcomers to get into.

With The Eminence in Shadow, this isn't the case yet, so now is a good time to get into the manga.

Fans of the manga love its humor and think it's worth it if you like the premise.

Bear in mind that of the 12 manga volumes released so far, only nine are officially translated into English. Don't worry, though. We expect the rest to follow soon!

If you have read the manga and want to move on to the light novel, it's also recommended that you start at the beginning. If you want to skip some of it, you could start at volume 4.

Season 2 covers most, but not all of volume 4, so consider starting at its beginning (chapter 61) to avoid missing key plot points that are not addressed in the anime.

As is the case with most isekai anime titles, The Eminence in Shadow had a light novel before it had a manga. There are now six volumes with the seventh one on the way.

Fans strongly recommend the light novel series to get a better understanding of the story. There are many details in the light novel that you won't find in the anime or the manga.

Because of that, skipping parts of the light novel is also risky, as you could end up confused.

However, if you really don't have time and simply want to find out what happens next, volume 4 should be a good starting point.
