I'm about half way through the anime and want to prepare ahead of time where to start. From what I've heard the anime covers the first 4 volumes, so does that mean I should start at volume 5?

Sorry the title is in Japanese. You can read them in order of volume number or chronological order, whatever you prefer. Well, for your information...

The Twelve Kingdoms 0 "Masyoko"
The story of the Black Kirin, Takasato and Kaname. Partially animated

The Twelve Kingdoms 1 "Tsuki no Kage Kage no Noumi" - Animated (episodes 1-13)

The Twelve Kingdoms 2 "Kaze no Umi Mamekyu no Kishi" - The story of the Black Kirin, Kaname Takazato. Animated (episodes 14-21)

The Twelve Kingdoms 3 "Higashi no Wadashimi Nishi no Sokai" - The story of King Yan, Shoryu and Rokutai. Animated (episodes 41-45)

The Twelve Kingdoms 4 "Kaze no Banri: Reimei no Sora" - Animated (episodes 23-39)

The Twelve Kingdoms 5 "Hishonotori" - short story, not yet animated

The Twelve Kingdoms 6 "Tonan no Tsubasa" - story about King Kyou and Saishou. Not yet animated

The Twelve Kingdoms 7 "Kasho no Yume" - short story, not yet animated

The Twelve Kingdoms 8 "Tasogare no Kishi: Akatsuki no Sora" - Story of the Black Kirin, Takasato and Kaname. Not yet animated

The Twelve Kingdoms 9 "Shirogane no Okukuro no Tsuki" - The story of the Black Kirin, Takasato and Kaname. Not yet animated

However, in chronological order

3 "Higashi-no-Wadarumi Nishi-no-Sokai" - about 500 years ago
6 "Tonan no Tsubasa" ... about 90 years ago
7 "Kashyo no Yume" ... about 12 years ago
2 "Kaze no Umi Mamekyu no Kishi" ... about 5 years ago
1 "Tsukiko-no-Kage Kage-no-Umi"...Standard year
5 "Hishonotori"...Immediately after "Shadow of the Moon, Sea of Shadows
4 "Kaze no Banri: Reimei no Sora" ... about one year later
0 "Mashoko
8 "Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora" ... about 2 years later
9 "Shirogane no Okukuro no Tsuki" ... about 2 years later

Thank you so much for the information! I plan to read all published volumes. And wait for anime series with more than 100 episodes to fully and carefully adapt all this amazing series!
