# Where does the Kingdom manga pick up after the anime?

To continue Kingdom after the anime, start the manga at Chapter 541 (Volume 50). That is the Western Zhao Invasion Arc — ch. 541 'Prophesied Grounds'. Roughly 343 chapters remain. Verified 2026-08-15 (confidence: high).

## Read this first

S6 stops mid-arc: the Western Zhao Invasion Arc runs ch. 496-642, so you are resuming inside an ongoing campaign, not at a clean arc break.

## What the anime covered

S6 adapted manga ch. 490-540

- **Anime status:** Season 6 concluded December 2025; a sequel was confirmed 27 Dec 2025, format unclear
- **Last aired:** S6 E13 (series ep. 155), aired 2025-12-28
- **Source status:** ongoing (883 chapters published)
- **English publisher:** Viz Media
- **Roughly remaining:** 343 chapters

## Notes

Only ~10% of Kingdom is officially translated (English vol. 9 released July 2026), so English readers will run out of licensed material long before ch. 541.

## Where to read it legally

- VIZ / Shonen Jump digital
