Although anime are very interesting and entertaining productions, as they add color and movement to the original manga, some details of the story can be lost in its development, either by speeding up scenes or arcs to reach the conclusion sooner, or by ending it before the narrative concludes.
In both cases, those who only watch the anime end up missing important story points and may be disappointed. Therefore it is very important to read the manga to fully understand the plot.
10 anime whose manga you need to read to know the complete story
In the following lines, the brings a list of 10 anime that fans need to read the manga to complete the story and not be left without knowing the entire plot or even wait for the new seasons of the anime to discover more details about the narrative.
1. Furious
“Berserk” is a 1997 anime that follows the medieval Golden Age story arc. Plus, he had a season in 2016 that was a fast run in history. None of the productions managed to present the plot completely.
Even the “Berserk” manga does not contain the entire story, but fans believe that the narrative has been explored practically in its entirety, despite not having reached a true ending. However, the closest fans can delve into this work is by reading the manga.
2. Mahou Sensei Negima!
The manga “Mahou Sensei Negima!” it has been adapted into two anime versions. However, none of them managed to contemplate the entire story of the narrative.
Therefore, fans who want to know everything about the plot should check out the 38 volumes of the original manga. There is an incredible variety of shonen elements in it, including school life, two main tournament arcs, and a magical girl in a light romance.
3. Kaguya-Sama: Love is war
The anime “Kaguya-Sama: Love is War” has already made a lot of progress in the story, as it has three seasons and a movie. However, the major twists of the narrative are still open, such as how to deal with Miyuki Shirogane’s possible move to California with the aim of studying at Stanford.
4. The voice of silence
“The Voice of Silence” is an anime that tells a fantastic love story, full of drama for those who love anime movies. However, the original manga of the work has seven volumes, reporting several points that are not shown in the report, which is well structured, but fails to bring out the more detailed points of the narrative.
So, if you want to delve deeper into the drama of Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya, reading the manga is the best alternative.
5. Bleach
While it won’t be long before the “Bleach” anime comes to an end, anyone eager to know the outcome of the work after the Thousand Year Bloody War story arc and King Yhwach’s threats to the world can turn to the manga, as it concludes with its final chapters.
Another important point is that the manga has a single Inferno chapter, which continues the story in a way that the anime probably won’t.
6. Mashle: magic and muscles
The anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles” managed to tell the story in great detail. However, those who want to get to the explosive ending and move on can read the manga in 18 volumes.
This way, you can see just how far Mash can go to prove the entire wizarding world wrong about him.
7. Maid-Sama!
The anime “Maid-Sama!” it does not contain all the original details of the story. Furthermore, its ending is not the real one. However, fans can check out the complete events through the original 18-volume manga.
In the manga there is a continuation of the dramatic love games, with Misaki Ayuzawa and Takumi Usui, who reveal terrible secrets about their respective families.
8. Death notebook
“Death Note” managed to bring the entire story of the original manga into 12 volumes. However, the anime’s second main story arc omitted material and sped up the narrative.
The big battle between Light Yagami, Mello and Near, for example, was not explored in its entirety. Therefore, reading the manga would be a great solution.
9. The quintuplets par excellence
“The Quintessential Quintuplets” has a two-season series and a movie. However, the productions made some narrative leaps, such as the fact that the tsundere Nino Nakano began to love Futaro Uesugi. This is an event that was quickly explored in audiovisual work.
Despite this, there is the summer special and the honeymoon arc that help fill in some of the gaps in the anime. However they are not easy to find, as they were mostly available in Japanese cinemas.
An alternative for those who want to delve deeper into the story and understand all the nuances of the plot is to read the manga, which allows the love story to blossom at an appropriate pace.
10. Oshi no Ko
The anime series “Oshi no Ko” already has two seasons and the third is confirmed to debut in 2026. However, those who are very invested in the story and eager to discover the mysteries and unresolved plots involving the Hoshino family can check out the manga.
The original manga has all the details to answer the questions of fans of the drama franchise.
