Honestly, starting from chapter 1 is the ideal experience. Authors structure their manga differently than studios structure an anime, and you'll often notice foreshadowing and character moments the adaptation glossed over. But if you're impatient (no judgment), picking up where the show left off works.
Yes — the manga "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann" runs 65 chapters and is complete. There are 5 related works total.
The exact chapter depends on which season you've finished. Most anime seasons cover 30-50 chapters of source material. Check the manga page for "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann" on MyAnimePulse for specifics.
