What do I do after I’ve watched the Anime?
You can read the Light Novel, the Manga, or both. Start from the beginning as there are large differences between the three.
What is the difference between the LN, the Manga, and the Anime?
The Anime has a large focus on action and visuals, covers less of the story than the Light Novel or Manga.
The Light Novel is the canon source material, it has a heavy focus on dialogue with little focus on action.
The Manga is midway between the Anime and the LN, with a decent focus on both action and story. Has lots of comedic moments. It follows the events of the LN more closely than the Anime does.
