Where to continue after the anime
After Season 7, start at chapter 100 in volume 25. Episodes select stories out of order and also adapt some later chapters, so this starting point includes overlap while preserving skipped material. For every unanimated story, read the manga from chapter 1; the films do not create one later sequential checkpoint.

Whole volumes before the practical Season 7 continuation in volume 25 · Main manga through volume 33; stories are selected out of order, so this is a reading-position estimate
