As most of Re:Zero's audience know the anime ended last week, and since there
were a lot of people talking about the important part that was left out "Which
I still don't know about", I decided I want to read the light novel to see
what happened. Here is the problem, I found out that Re:Zero has a light
novel, a web novel, and a manga, so what's the difference between them? Do I
read all of them? And where should I start from?

Which media should I read to continue from where the Re:Zero anime left off?


**In short, you should read the light novel from the start.**

_About the reason:_  
I’m currently reading the light novel; actually, the first time Betelgeuse
appears is in the 5th volume. I’m far from where the anime ended, but the
first 5 volumes told many things the anime didn’t. And some of them are really
important, in my opinion.

_About the difference:_  
As far I know, the web novel is the original source, and the light novel is a
compiled book from that, upon which the manga and anime are based. You said
you already watched the whole anime, so I don’t see any reason to read the
manga. I don’t know if the web novel has an official translation to English
but the light novel does — it’s published in North America by Yen Press. Since
it is an official publication you should buy it to support Teppei.

This way you won’t miss anything and support the author. It’s a win-win.
