I know that GATE: thus the JSDF fought here is a novel which has been then
adapted into both a manga and two anime series. Since I am currently reading
the manga I was wondering where I was with respect to the anime version and
the novel.

I have reached the point where they fight the fire dragon, and I would like to
avoid spoiling myself by watching the last episode of the season is currently
being aired.

So, which chapters of the manga/volumes of the novel were adapted by the first
season and which by the second?

Where do the two GATE animated series arrive with respect to the novel and the manga?


Okay, as for where things line up. As was mentioned in the comments, the Manga
skips over things that were in the books and pulls in side stories from later
books...and the anime skips over things that were in the manga. But here are a
few 'line-up' points. I'm going to leave out exact details of what happens in
those respective points so as not to spoil anything, but you should be able to
put things together from there.

As it stands, the anime is actually further along in the story than the
manga...so as of posting this, if you don't want to spoil the manga, stop
watching at Episode 18 (Season 2, Episode 6). So, here are where things line
up.

Book 1 -- Anime Episodes 1-10 -- Manga Chapters 1-24

Book 2 -- Anime Episodes 11-17 -- Manga Chapters 25-46(ish)

Book 3 -- Anime Episodes 18-current (should end at Ep 24) -- Manga Chapters
47-Current

There are a total of 10 books out there. Books 1-5 are the "Main Story" and
books 6-9 are side stories focusing on a single one of the girls that surround
Itami. Book 6 focuses on Pina, 7 on Rory, 8 on Tuka, and 9 on Lelei. Books 1
through 9 occur in chronological order. Book 10 is a collection of side
stories that occur at differing points throughout books 1-9. Book 10 included
the story that occurs in the manga but not in the anime where...

> Lelei falls ill on the way to Rondel; and Yao, Itami, and Rory end up
> battling undead and a minotaur to get the cure for her

Book 9 is intended to segue into a 'Season 2' series of books (not yet
released) that will return the focus back to Itami to progress the main story.

Assuming you are talking about the true battle with the Fire Dragon...you are
presently at the equivalent of Episode 17 (S2, ep5).
