After the anime's original ending, fans can start reading the Mysterious Disappearances manga to better understand what happened to Ren, Oto, and Sumireko Ogawa.
The anime-original finale of Mysterious Disappearances left many questions unanswered, so it's better to turn to the manga for answers while season 2 has yet to be announced.
How Much of Mysterious Disappearances Did the Anime Cover?
The Mysterious Disappearances anime aired 12 episodes and adapted half of Nujima's dark comedy, supernatural, and mystery manga series.
The anime series introduced the main characters Ren Adashino, Sumireko Ogawa, and Oto Adashino, as well as supporting characters such as Manami Uname, Shizuku Hayami, Nodoka Ametsuchi, and others.
Ren and his companions investigate mysterious events known as curiosities in each episode, including the mystery of Tsukiyomi's Water of Life, the Chinrinki Ogre, the little girl in red, and the shrine princess.
They are investigating these curiosities to exchange them for train tickets to get home.
A lot happened in the Mysterious Disappearances anime, and some surprising revelations may have confused manga fans because the anime had an unusual finale that no one saw coming.
Overall, the Mysterious Disappearances anime covered five volumes of the manga series. The manga is still ongoing, having released eight volumes as of writing.
Where to Start Reading the Mysterious Disappearances Manga after the Anime
Mysterious Disappearances' ending was anime-original, so don't expect to read about these occurrences in the manga.
Episodes 11 and 12 of the anime did not occur in the manga, so the gang remains intact and the characters' mysterious adventures are far from finished.
Following episode 10, anime fans can begin reading the first chapter of volume 5 to find out what happens next to Ren and the rest of the characters.
It picks up after the mystery of the Shrine Princess, so there's no need to worry about Ren disappearing from the manga story anytime soon.
Contrary to the mystery anime's ending, Ren and Sumireko are still together in the manga, investigating mysterious events alongside Oto and the others.
So, while Mysterious Disappearances season 2 has yet to be confirmed, fans may turn to the manga series to get a better understanding of what's going on with the characters.
