Did you watch book of circus and book of murder? cause they're a direct continuation from the curry arc, everything after ep. 15 from season 1 is anime original.

After watching Book of Circus and Book of Murder(Though only first episode is available fow now), you can start reading from Chapter 51 which is the start of Ship Voyage Arc.

If you have no intention of watching either of them, then you can start from Chapter 24.

But let me warn you, the anime and manga have major differences. Especially in the Curry Contest Arc(The ending in the manga is different). Indeed I advise you to read from the first chapter.

Actually, you should start from the very beginning. The anime diverged in the very first episode. The dude, "Damian" which isn't even his name, isn't evil nor was he burned alive in the oven. Episode 2 was canon for it was chapter 3-4 in the manga, however altered slightly. Episode 3 was chapter 2 in the manga. 4-6 were canon as well, however altered for it took scenes out that were in the manga. 7-12 were filler. No where in the manga did any of those episodes occur. 13-15 were canon but also altered so they aren't quite fitting with the canon either.

Season 2 is anime original.

Book of Circus, though it does happen in the manga, it too was filled with fillers and alteration that did not occur in the manga. Though I give it credit, unlike the previous season it did follow the manga more closely.

Book of Murder, so far, is the only anime that wasn't riddled with fillers. It took some scenes from the manga out due to time, but it is the only one, so far, to follow the manga truly without fillers.

If you want the true, unedited story, with the characters in character, I strongly advise reading from the beginning. Any true fan of Kuro will tell you the same thing. So, from first chapter all the way up to the current is the best way to go. No skipping, for you will be cheating yourself out of the true essence of the story.

Since I already answered this, I'll just requote myself.
