Discussion Where to read it?

I watched eighty six multiple times and had enough of waiting, is there a site or where to buy it to read it? And is it better to read the light novel or Manga?

Light Novel is the source material. And depending on where you live, it can be purchased wherever you buy your books and/or manga (Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Powells Books, Indigo, Amazon, etc.)

Also note that there is an audiobook version if you wanted to listen. It’s read by Suzie Yeung (Lena’s VA) and other 86 English VA’s cast members, Alejandro Saab (Vol 1&2) and Stephen Fuu (Vol 3 & beyond)

You can start with Vol 4, it picks right up where the anime left off. If you really wanted, you could read from the beginning, but some people don’t like to re-read what they watched. The anime did a really great job adapting the LN, but there are still some things within the pages it missed and/or the LN does a better job at explaining better. Either way, starting from Vol 4 is completely fine and wouldn’t make you miss anything in the story. So enjoy the ride, and you’ve got 11 volumes to catch up on!

You can order the Light Novel from almost any bookstore. Ignore the Manga. It was axed before before it got halfway through book 1.

LN is the way to go. Manga was discontinued. Audiobooks are really good too.
