Should You Read from the Beginning?

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.
