I love Hyouka series. First I knew Hyouka, I directly watched the anime. If I love this series, is it necessary to read the novel from volume 1 or I read the novel from volume 5?

If I read the novel from volume 5, did I miss the detail of the story or the development Oreki-Chitanda relationship?

I need the opion from the novel readers and anime viewers . Sorry if my english is not good. Thanks in advance for your reply

Start from the very beginning. Not only for Hyouka, do it for every novel/ln adaptations because they cannot adapt everything so some things get left out. I always start from the very beginning

I jave watched the anime and one of my favourite series of all time. Now I'm read the novel and yes you should read it from the beginning the reason is because its a novel and i recommend everyone to read from the beginning there maybe some differences and you can enjoy it differently.

Since you watched the anime, you don't necessarily have to read the novel from the beginning, but I would suggest to do so because some things were left out during the adaptation. If you really like Hyouka that much, you should read it from the beginning to get to enjoy the whole experience

It is generally recommended to read the original novels/light novels from the beginning, since it's an entirely different format from their anime and manga counterparts, thus making them a different experience from their adaptations.
You are also able to experience the same scenes in a new perspective and greater details.

Koten-bu series is much better than the adaptation, due to the independent volumes, rather than the Slice-of-Life approach, which stretched the progression.

Is there any possibility for a season 2? I'd like to watch Hotaru and Eru get together.
