After Season 1, in the books you are

at Volume 4 (partway in).

season 1 (24 episodes plus a March 2019 recap special, Oct 2018-Mar 2019) ends midway through volume 4.

Season 1 (24 episodes plus a March 2019 recap special) adapts light novel volumes 1 through partway into volume 4. One source places the cutoff around volume 4's third chapter; another separately notes the anime skips some of volume 4's content on the way there. Starting volume 4 from the beginning is the safe move rather than risking a skipped chapter.

Faithful here

The show stays close to the book here, with nothing major changed, cut, or invented.

Sources disagree slightly on this one, so we used the earlier chapter. You may re-read a little rather than risk reading past yourself.

The source is a LIGHT NOVEL (23 volumes, written by Fuse and illustrated by Mitz Vah, completed November 2025), so the answers below are volumes, not chapters -- a separate manga adaptation exists on its own numbering and is not tracked here, matching this dataset's Batch 2 convention (Re:Zero, Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, Sword Art Online) of following the light novel rather than the manga. Two theatrical films -- Scarlet Bond (2022) and Tears of the Azure Sea (2026) -- are confirmed original stories written by Fuse rather than adaptations of any volume, so watching them doesn't move a reader's position forward; they render the same way the enola-holmes original-story films do in this dataset (adaptsBooks: []). Season 4 began April 3, 2026 as the first of a planned five cours (~60 episodes); it is still airing as of this build (August 17, 2026) with only the first two cours dated, so its unit holds at the Season 3 answer rather than guessing at an unconfirmed interim chapter -- the same technique mushoku-tensei.json's Season 3 unit uses for its own mid-air split cour.
