I guess this could fit in on both the anime and manga forum.
Aniway, I'm one of those guys whom likes to enjoy things chronologically.
I decided to "dwell" into this world created by GoRA, but i stumbeled across a problem.
As far as i know, there is currently;
- 1 animated series, followed by a movie, and soon a second season
- 7 manga series, where 4 of them are ongoing
- 4 light novel series
Where do i start? How is the chronological order?

I was able to make a little sense out of the series. Not to much however...
Prequel to the anime (NOT chronological);
- Memory of Red (Manga)
- Stray Dog Story (Manga)
- Days of Blue (Manga)
- Lost Small World (Novel)
- Lost Small World (Manga) Adaptation of the novel by the same name

Chronological order;
- Project K (Anime)
- K: The First (Manga) is an adaptation of the animated series.
- Missings Kings (Movie)
- K: Count Down (Manga) Connects "Missing Kings" and "Return of Kings"
- Return of Kings (Anime) Second Season

What i was not able to make sense of;
- SIDE: BLUE (Novel)
- SIDE: RED (Novel)
- SIDE: Black & White (Novel)
- Gakuen K (Manga)

Side: Red, Blue and Black and White can be lumped in with the prequels too. I only read one chapter of K: Side Red and its before Anna joins Homra. Black and White tells Neko, Shiro's and Kuroh's past from what I read on tumblr.

Gakuen K is just a parody/comedy manga it isn't canon to the story.

obviously gauken k isn't canon (but i still want it translated dang it!). but as for the other mangas (except for re-writes of the show and movie) i'd like to say they are.

for example on yata's wiki page his history includes some of the manga's info so at least memories of red is canon, at least to that wiki site.

if anyone has any information of S/E or Viz even hinting it's canon, plas tell us! i'd love to have this confirmed D:

i feel rather stupid, but i just came across the lost small world manga and i happened to see who wrote it. unsurprisingly it was gora themselves. needless to be said it's pretty save to say the manga are canon besides for the obvious spinoffs, like that school one.
