Nisemonogatari

Unlike ne’er-do-well former vampire Araragi, his two younger sisters Karen and Tsukihi, who attend a private junior high, are little balls of energy and charisma that their peers look up to. That the “ka” in Karen and “hi” in Tsukihi are both written with the character for “fire” isn’t the only reason they’ve come to be known as the Fire Sisters....
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 light novel "Nisemonogatari Short Stories" serves as the source material. There are 2 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 "Nisemonogatari Short Stories" on MyAnimePulse for specifics.
Both approaches work. Starting from chapter 1 gives you the complete experience with all the details the anime might have skipped. Jumping to where the anime left off saves time if you just want to continue the story.
