Clarification on the series - it is not a sequel but a spinoff. And extra information on the novel as someone who read it. NO SPOILERS included

As someone who read the novel through fan translations (which got taken down by Mochiguma Scans after the announcement of the official release of the novel), the series really isn't a sequel on the fact that there is no continuation or acknowledgement of how the original novel/TV anime ended.

In fact, it's kind of like an alternate world/spinoff of the original series where everything is reset and now the Tatami Galaxy gang is in a whole new club with a new purpose of the series.

For background, the novel was initially made to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of the anime, I believe and also Makoto Ueda who wrote the live action movie with a similar premise to this is good friends with the Tatami Galaxy author. They had spoke about wanting to novelize the movie for a while now and thought it would be cool to do so with Tatami Galaxy characters.

I've read the novel and I still think it's pretty fun, quirky and a good time - while not tackling the themes of the previous anime/novel, it was a great read and there was quite a bit more Akashi and Watashi focus and romance in a way which was done well.

I also read the original Tatami Galaxy novel and they had changed quite a bit in the anime so I won't be surprised if they do the same for this anime.

So does the prequel to this anime already had a proper ending to the it's story?
