The undisputed, one of the best titles of 2021, Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation Season 1 has come to an end.

Though it has not been officially confirmed by Studio Bind, EGG FIRM or Kadokawa, but leaks have their own way to sneak into the internet.
One of the reliable ‘leaker’ “SugoiLITE” tweeted early in May 2021 that “TV anime “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation” Seasons 2 & 3 are currently in production.”
Even though there’s no announcement trailer yet, the cliffhanger at the end implies the continuation of the story to another Season. Few fans can recall that the franchise had said some time ago that they pretty much created the studio to adapt Jobless Reincarnation manga in full.
According to Monsters and Critics, Mushoku Tensei Season 1 covered until volume 6 of the light novel series. In other words, it is volume 10 in the ongoing manga. Now you must be wondering how much material is left to be adapted. As of now, 25 volumes of the light novel and 15 volumes of the manga have been published. You need not worry about content.
