Light novel. It has a manga, but the show passed where the manga (at least the translation) is at in the last few episodes of the last season

LN. It's already got passed where the manga is,so it's kind of obvious. Plus,you can just search this kind of thing rather than asking here.

Majority of the scenes in the anime are taken from manga panel. But not all. This is a very complicated discussion. But if you wanted a rough answer, it's sourced from the ln as it's the base work

It's actually adapted from manga but season 2 is the only adapted from LN because (*****).
But originally Anime adapted from manga and manga adapted from LN. But if manga still goes slow and don't adapt as 8bit wants, 8bit will adapt from LN because in 2023 Spring or summer The Season 3 will release(not officially confirmed) 🤫...

Both, its very different from the manga. They changed alot of stuff and the chronological order of a few minor things were moved around

it is both adapted from the light novel in the end so the question seems somewhat irrelevant.

It's adapted off of the LN, but some scenes and visual are based off the scenes and illustrations of the manga. The manga is behind the anime in official English translation though 😂

The studios don’t care if the anime is past the English translation only if it’s passing the Japanese manga or not because that’s way more up to date than the English translation

I watched an old Japanese interview of the director of the show during S1 and he clearly mentioned they are using material from both the Light novel and the manga.

This question is already asked many times, and theres an asnwer for it, so ill leave it (although sorry for copypasting it). But in short think that they are using both LN and manga:

The staff page on the homepage literally credits the manga "published in Kodansha's 'Monthly Shounen Sirius' " as the source material.

And the copyright notice at the bottom even outright says "Kodansha" (manga publisher) but doesn't mention "Micromagazine" (LN publisher).

Whoever changed the source material from manga to LN for both seasons and removed Kodansha while adding Micromagazine as producer for season 1 in the MAL database should get their eyes checked because they have clearly not even done the most basic research of checking the staff page on the official anime website.

The MAL entry for this correctly links to the lightnovel. MAL doesn't have its own lightnovel section though so it puts them into the "Manga" category. You might have gotten that confused because of that.

For this series in particular it is a bit weirder though.

Like most isekai this was originall a Webnovel which later got turned into a lightnovel. When turning it into a lightnovel though the author early on started adding a lot of extra chapters and after a few volumes basically completely changed the story.
Years later the Manga adaptation came out. The manga adaptation is mainly based on the Lightnovel but also adds some more chapters that didn't happen in the LN and removes some that did.

So now to the Anime. While the main story of course is based on the Lightnovel it does also include some of the changes done to the manga version of the story and adds even more omissions and changes on top of that.
