📘 Quick Tip: The anime My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 adapts the manga up to chapter 41. To continue the plot, start reading from chapter 42.
My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 started airing in April 2023 and finished in June. After the release, it did not get much attention from anime lovers since manga was not popular back then but later it slowly became one of the most underrated romance anime of the year. The anime is based on the manga by Mashiro, and the studio behind the adaption was Madhouse. This is the same studio that has worked on Death Note, Hunter x Hunter 2011, and One Punch Man Season 1.
Madhouse Has Not Confirmed Season 2 Yet
The anime was mainly made to promote the manga, which is pretty common for romance anime. But after the anime aired, it picked up a decent fanbase. Still, there has not been any official update from Madhouse about a second season. Even though there is a lot of manga left to adapt, the studio has stayed silent. As of now, the manga has 108 chapters released, but the series went on a break after the last chapter in October. It has not returned since then.
Where the My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 Anime Ended in the Manga
The anime had a total of 13 episodes and was a single-cour run. It ended with a romantic conclusion where Yamada and Akane finally started dating and holding hands. That ending felt like a good stopping point, which is why many fans are unsure where to continue in the manga.
If you are planning to pick up the manga from where My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 left off, you should start from chapter 42. The anime adapted up to chapter 41, so that is the best place to begin reading.

Akane Kinoshita, a female college student, faces the absolute worst situation when she ends up breaking up with her boyfriend after he has an affair with a woman he met playing an online game. While relieving her stress by rampaging through the open hunting grounds of an online game, Akane spills everything about her heartbreak to “Yamada”, a player she met by chance who happens to be in the same guild. “I don’t care,” is his curt reply. But when Akane gets a makeover and joins an offline event to get back at her ex-boyfriend, she hears those dreadful words again. And that was Akane’s fateful encounter with “Yamada”─！
