About PanelPath
Find the exact manga chapter or light novel volume to continue from after any anime season — plus a manga status checker that tells you if a series is on hiatus or if it's just your app. Official links only.
How "continue reading" answers are verified
Each season mapping is taken from a published episode guide that lists the exact chapters each episode adapts (fan wiki episode pages, cross-checked against chapter counts on AniList). We store the source URL and a confidence note with every answer:
- High confidence — the final episode's adapted chapters are listed explicitly.
- Medium confidence — the mapping is verified, but chapter numbering differs between editions or the anime reorders material; the notes explain what to skim.
If we can't verify a season, we leave it out rather than guess. Mappings were last verified on Oct 26, 2026.
How manga status is worked out
A refresh script pulls publication status, chapter and volume counts and official links from the AniList API, plus series status, English licensing and release history from the MangaUpdates API. We only count releases by official publishers (VIZ, MANGA Plus, Kodansha, Yen Press…). Scanlation groups are ignored and never linked. Data as of Oct 29, 2026 (dates are UTC).
Official links only
We never link to unofficial scan sites. Simulpub services like MANGA Plus, VIZ Shonen Jump and K MANGA pay creators and often let you read the newest chapters free. If your favourite series is "stuck" on an aggregator app, the official service is usually already a chapter ahead.
