Season 2 adapts chapters 38–178 of the manga. To continue the story, start reading at chapter 38.

Season 2 departs from the manga almost at once. It skips whole arcs (Goldy Pond, Cuvitidala, the Seven Walls and more) and has an anime-original ending. The episode-to-chapter links are only loose and come from a fan wiki. To get the real story, read the manga from chapter 38. A recap episode, 'Guidepost' (episode 5.5), aired in Japan between episodes 5 and 6; it has no new content and is not counted here.

Notes for nerds

Season 1 data per episode comes from the fan wiki's 'adaptation of' field on each episode page. Wikipedia confirms the season-level range (chapters 1-37), but it does not list chapters per episode. Season 2 is mostly anime-original. Its per-episode chapters are the fan wiki's list of loosely adapted chapters, not a faithful one-to-one adaptation. Beneath the Tangles confirms that S2 episode 1 covers chapters 38 to early 46 and skips 39-40. One site (wheredoestheanimeleaveoff) says to start at chapter 37 instead of 38. We use 38, because Wikipedia and the fan wiki both say Season 1 covers chapters 1-37 in full. The manga ended at chapter 181.
