The last chapter that was adapted into the anime was 297, though I think you should read the complete manga.

While most scenes were taken over unchanged into the anime, there are a few moments where there are differences that make the manga better in my opinion. Also the anime was censored quite heavily (like removing of every single drop of blood for example).
