Im a spider so what manga after anime

The manga adaptation of Kumo desu ga, nani ka? is officially released in Kadokawa' Shoten's Young Ace Up website. It's adapted by Asahiro Kakashi and is based on the Light Novel. The first chapter was uploaded on December 22, 2015. and the first volume of the published version was released on July 9, 2016.

The main difference of the manga compared to the other media is that it ignores most of the side stories. However, the published version includes extra short stories written by Baba Okina, with volume 3 also containing a bonus short comic telling a story told from Feirune's perspective.

So I'm a Spider, So What? (Japanese: 蜘蛛ですが、なにか？, Hepburn: Kumo Desu ga, Nanika?) is a Japanese light novel isekai series written by Okina Baba and illustrated by Tsukasa Kiryu. The story follows a class that is killed in a mysterious explosion and reincarnated into another world with one girl reincarnated as a dungeon spider. The spider evolves and ends up having a significant influence on the world, becoming one of its most powerful creatures, while the students and their teacher deal with the fallout from her actions and those of other armies. The series has received a manga adaptation, and an anime television series adaptation produced by Millepensee aired from January to July 2021.

In a world where the battle between Hero and Demon Lord repeated itself time and time again, an enormous space-time spell misfired and hit a certain Japanese high school class on Earth, killing everyone in it. However, guided by what seemed to be a miracle, the students were all reincarnated into that other world. While a handful was fortunate enough to become royalty, nobles, and other kinds of influential people, one girl was not so lucky. Being reborn as a spider monster of the weakest kind in a dungeon filled with vicious beasts, she is forced to experience extreme hardship. Even so, armed with nothing but her human knowledge and overwhelming positivity, she continues to press on and survive against creatures much stronger than herself.

Light novels[edit]

Okina Baba originally serialized the series as a web novel on the user-generated content site Shōsetsuka ni Narō starting on May 27, 2015.[2][3] Fujimi Shobo acquired the series for print publication, and published the first light novel, with illustrations by Tsukasa Kiryu, in December 2015.[3][4] Yen Press announced during their panel at Sakura-Con on April 15, 2017, that they had licensed the series.[5] The series' main story ended with its 16th volume released on January 8, 2022.

Asahiro Kakashi launched a manga adaptation of the web novels on the Kadokawa Shoten's Young Ace Up manga website on December 22, 2015.[38][3] The manga is also licensed by Yen Press.[3]

It was reported on July 6, 2018, that the series would receive an anime adaptation, according to an early look at the wraparound jacket band on the fifth volume of the manga adaptation.[3] The report was confirmed at Kadokawa's booth at Anime Expo later that day, and it was announced that the adaptation would be a television series.[62] Originally set to premiere in 2020,[63] it was rescheduled to premiere in January 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[64] The two-cour (24 episode) series was animated by Millepensee and directed by Shin Itagaki, with Okina Baba and Yūichirō Momose overseeing the series' scripts, and Kii Tanaka designing the characters, Shūji Katayama composing the series' music, and Jōtarō Ishigami producing the series. The series aired from January 8 to July 3, 2021, on AT-X and other channels. The first opening theme song is "keep weaving your spider way" performed by Riko Azuna, while the first ending theme song is "Do Your Best! Kumoko-san's Theme" (がんばれ！蜘蛛子さんのテーマ, Ganbare! Kumoko-san no Tēma) performed by I (Aoi Yūki).[65] The second opening theme is "Bursty Greedy Spider" performed by Konomi Suzuki, while the second ending theme is "Reality Convex Hierarchy" (現実凸撃ヒエラルキー, Genjitsu Totsugeki Hierarchy) by Yūki.[66][67] It is licensed by Crunchyroll outside Asia.[68] Medialink has licensed the series in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and is streaming it on their Ani-One YouTube channel and Bilibili.[69] The final episode was delayed due to production issues and aired one week later on July 3, 2021.[70]

Reception[edit]

The light novels and manga had a combined 1.2 million copies in print as of July 2018.[3] The light novels ranked third in the tankōbon category in the Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! 2017 rankings,[98] and second in the 2018 rankings.[99]

So why read the light novels... Well, simply put, I now get what people mean by the rushed/butchered pace. For the most part, the spider side is well kept, cutting down a bit of faff, and slightly mixing up what information we get about the world, which is not too bad. HOWEVER, the human side really is sloppy messed up. Volume 1's human side is condensed to the first human scene in the anime. Half a book is condensed into 3 minutes... That's the problem. Secondly, Katia in the anime for me was funny, and cute, but in the light novels, she is an actual character as much as Shun.

Also, to bring it home further, after Shun runs from the kingdom, they actually have to go back and save his brother, Leston, and Katia's parents. This whole part is just removed for Fei taking Leston when they escape. The main problem about this is that's when we learn about Shun's Mercy skill and that he raises Taboo to lvl 9. Not in 5 seconds to seem him pull some stuff out of his arse to save Anna. That's the kind of rushing they are doing. It's not bad, but a lot of the main points get cut out, and have to be shoe horned in later, which can make the pacing feel off.

If you also really liked Kumoko as a character, then her light novel form is still just as funny, but a lot more of her thoughts and personality come out, since she's given time to breathe and reflect on things. While Aoi Yuuki does a great job, Kumoko's character kinda feels like more of a slap stick routine, and her more loner personality doesn't really get shown in the anime. If you want to see more of the character Kumoko, the LN is the better way to see it. Although the manga actually does a really good job too. It just doesn't have any of the human side, so it is only half the story.

One more note is that the light novels have what are called interlude chapters. Like the anime, the LN show two stories, having the chapters 1, 2, 3... for spider and S1, S2... for Shun. It also however features in-between stories where it takes other characters and give them some love. An example is the first volume has a Katia & XX person talking. These small chapters made me really love Katia, and turned her from a side character in the anime into a adorable maiden in the LN. The interlude chapters were always very fun or interesting and sad that they mostly got cut from the anime.

So yeh, whether you liked the human side or the spider side, the light novels are really good for both. One warning I will say is that after volume 5, where the anime finishes, they take a break from Shun's story in the future, and focus more on the past, with Half-Spider, Half-Human Kumoko, and her wacky adventures in the past. And let me tell you, it is even funnier than the anything before it. And to any LN readers, imagine our little spider-human hybrid with Aoi Yuuki as her inner monologue. It sounds like an absolute match made in heaven!!!

BASICALLY, this was my first LN, I loved it, and want others to love it too, since that anime really does feel like a rushed piece after reading them. (Up to vol 7 and it's so good)
