anime S1 ends at manga chapter 38.
The first season adapts the Introduction, Bat Devil, Eternity Devil, and Katana Man arcs, ending on chapter 38. Continue from chapter 39, which leads into the Reze arc (chapters 40 to 52). Note the Reze arc was adapted as a film, so read chapters 39 onward to stay ahead of the movie.
