Similar to the first season, the chapters were adapted out of order, so the High Eight Chocolate story in Episode 8 came from Chapter 121. The first half of Episode 10 of the second season jumped all the way to manga Chapter 120. The major development in the relationship between Hotaru and Kokonotsu took place in Episode 4, which was derived from chapters 106 and 107. The silver lining to this change was that episodes focused more on character development and less on the history/trivia for candies. Worse, the episodes were only 12 minutes long instead of the usual 24 minutes, so that meant the anime was rocketing through the manga's story.
You would think that would leave plenty of source material for Dagashi Kashi Season 3, but when Tezuka Productions took over the anime they only accelerated the pacing for the second season. At the project's current pace, it will probably take a month to catch up the anime and over half a year to finish translating the manga series. There are English fan translation projects, but so far they're up to Chapter 121 in Volume 7 while the raw scans are already up to Chapter 184. Unfortunately, an official Dagashi Kashi English translation was never licensed by companies like Yen Press or Seven Seas Entertainment.

Fans knew that meant the manga series would probably finish soon, and Crunchyroll News reports that the "manga's final chapter is expected to be published in the magazine's 20th issue to be released on April 11." When Volume 10 was released, it was noticed in the author's note in the afterword that Kotoyama had already completed the layout for the manga's finale. The manga volumes have sold over 3 million copies in Japan alone, and the sales jumped significantly when the anime was released. Dagashi Kashi Volume 10 was published in February of 2018, and the final manga book, Volume 11, will be released on May 18, 2018.
Manga writer Kotoyama has been serializing the story in Weekly Shonen Sunday since the summer of 2014. The only issue is that the Dagashi Kashi manga is ending in the spring of 2018, so where does that leave the anime adaptation? Dagashi Kashi Season 3 is already on the minds of anime fans who enjoy the antics of sweets-crazy Hotaru Shidare and reluctant shopowner Kokonotsu "Coconuts" Shikada.
