Mangareader has LNs? Thtat's news for me. I think you confuse there something, the LNs are NOT the manga. The manga is only an adaptation of the Light Novels much like the anime is, and it's by far not as faithful as the anime, and even that took some..unexpected plot points into the storyline.

The LN has the most details, that were skipped out by the Anime, and the adaptation from A1 isn't as faithful as many believe it is. The manga..I honestly don't like it much, the Progressive manga not counted, that's great. You can buy the first 7 LNs from YenPress (via BookDepository, Amazon, your local bookstore etc.). The rest is fan-translated, visit my user page for details. Additional to the main series Light Novels there is Progressive, a reboot from the Aincrad arc floor by floor. Yes you read right, floor by floor. It's gerat, too!

The relationship is a bit more detailed in the LNs, but a great deal are the additional contents by side stories, like Sugary Days (only available as fan-translations for now).
