| I want to confirm this. The manga from part 3 is completely different story from the LN OR the manga skipped Myne making her first book or reliving her past life memories. (didn’t happen) vs (time jump) *the last event in part 2 volume 3 manga is “tomato festival” also the 5th of episode of the 2nd season. |

| Ok, let me explain The LN is one series but is divided in parts. The manga is divided in series adapting fully each part. So; LN Part 1 is 3 volumes, was covered by 14 episodes in the anime, and is covered by Manga part 1 (7 volumes). LN Part 2 is 4 volumes, was half covered by the 12 episodes of season 2, and is currently being adapted by Manga part 2 (3 volumes out). LN Part 3 is 5 volumes, has no anime adaptation obviously, and is currently being adapted by manga part 3 (3 vol out). The LN part 4 is 9 volumes but has no current manga/anime adaptation, and LN part 5 is currently being published (2 vol out), is the last part and should be around 9-10 volumes long once finished. Both manga part 2 and manga part 3 are being written at the same time by two different mangaka. part 2 is by the same mangaka as part 1, and part 3 is by another mangaka completely. So, your problem is: you read the few manga volumes available for part 2; and then thinking part 2 was already fully adapted since there was already several part 3 volumes out, you jumped directly on part 3 of the manga. But the thing is, manga part 2 will take probably around 6 more volumes before being finished. You can't jump to part 3 manga from the end of the anime or from the current last chapter of manga part 2, you're missing half of the part 2 content even if you've seen the anime. Since part 2 of the manga is a work in progress, your only way to link the end of the anime to part 3 of the manga is to read the original material, as in, the light novel. Fortunately, the whole part 2 is available officially in english through the publisher J Novel Club, so you can read those volumes, and then if you want, jump back to the manga (or continue with the novel since the novel will goes way faster) |

| Thank you for clarifying this. I hope part 2 volume 4 manga version release soon but for now I will continue reading the novel. |

The current plan is apparently for Part 5 to take 12 volumes: https://twitter.com/miyakazuki01/status/1277412300958261248 Well that's even better then, as the more there is, the longer we'll be able to enjoy this story. So current plan is to finish at vol 33 then, so with the current publication speed, last volume should be out in December 2022.Cool, cool. Also we'll probably get a bit more short story on the side as independent volumes, maybe one in November this year again. |

| What is the target audience for part 3 of the Manga? I'd be surprised if many people were reading it... maybe some LN readers would be interested, but the vast majority of people would likely prefer to finish part 2 first... why release part 3 in parallel? Odd. |
 |
| Well, I won't complain, I'll just have many chapters to read once they finally finish Part 2. |
