Can I read this volume if I have only watched the anime?

The manga contains additional details and character moments that are sometimes condensed or reordered in the anime adaptation, making the original volumes a distinct experience even for those familiar with the screen version.

Does this volume work as a starting point for the series?

This volume picks up immediately following the conclusion of the sports festival arc and assumes the reader is already familiar with the established relationships and power dynamics of Class 1-A, so it is not recommended as an entry point.
