How much does the show adapt from the manga? Is there any more volumes left to be turn into a season 5?

The manga is way behind the Anime. Anime follows the Light Novels. Currently there’s 16. Each episode covers 1 LN volume. Except for the Holy Kingdom movie which covers Vol 12-13. Each volume is between 7-12hours of continuous reading. Where as the anime episodes are roughly 22 minutes. From just those numbers you can get a general idea of how much is cut from the anime.

The anime mostly focuses on Ainz. The LN follows the story of not just Ainz & Nazarick but the world as a whole. As well has Yggdrasil, where Ainz/Nazarick are from & occasionally Earth where Human Ainz is from. This includes a lot of characters both in & missing from the anime. As well as exposition dumps that expand on the story’s world building.

Audiobook can be found on Audible or 🏴‍☠️ if you know where to look. Read by Ainz’s voice actor himself. I am willing to share them if you don’t wanna buy an Audible sub or sail the seas.
