Debut work, Grand Prize at the 5th Kyoto Animation AwardThe war is over, and Violet Evergarden needs a job. Scarred and emotionless, she takes a job as a letter writer to understand herself and her past.
After Violet Evergarden: the Movie, continue with Vol. 1
Where Violet Evergarden: the Movie leaves off in the original hasn’t been confirmed, so this starting point is an estimate.

- Vol. 1?light novel · Japanese · 京都アニメーション(KAエスマ文庫)
After the 13-episode Violet Evergarden TV series, start the original Japanese novel at its Upper Volume. The novel tells Violet’s letter-writing stories in a different order and the anime builds its own narrative, so this is a reading restart rather than the next unadapted chapter.
