The Time is NOW!!!! Crunchyroll, in collaboration with Aniplex, announced today that the eagerly awaited anime adaptation of the Korean manhwa sensation, Solo Leveling, will make its global debut on Crunchyroll’s streaming
platform on January 6, 2024 and will reach viewers across 200 territories. The anime adaptation of Solo Leveling is adapted from the best selling Korean web novel written by Chugong, which was later adapted into a webtoon and manhwa in 2018, with illustrations by DUBU.
Over a decade has passed since a pathway called a “gate” which connects this world and another dimension suddenly appeared, and people with superhuman powers called “hunters” have been awakened. Hunters use their superhuman powers and battling skills to conquer dungeons inside the gates to make a living, and Sung Jinwoo, a hunter of
the lowest rank, is considered the “Weakest Hunter of All Mankind.” He sticks with it with good spirits because he needs to: this upheaval of everyday life and society means it is a lucrative way to make a living, and he’s on the hook for his mother’s hospital bills, the high cost of living, and his sister’s tuition. He can’t afford to quit being a Hunter, even if he’s lousy at it and barely keeps his head.
One day, he encounters a double dungeon, a high-level dungeon hidden inside a low-level one. In front of a severely wounded Jinwoo, a mysterious quest window pops up. On the verge of death, Jinwoo decides to take on the quest, which makes him the only person who can level up. Solo Leveling is the incredible story about once in a lifetime opportunities, an underdog you want to root for, and battles upon battles and power rankings to follow with a full cast of memorable characters. It is high fantasy, action packed and full of heart!
Asa Suehira, Chief Content Officer at Crunchyroll, expressed excitement about the project, stating, “At Crunchyroll, we are always looking for innovative ways to connect our audience with captivating stories from around the world. Solo Leveling is a groundbreaking series that has captured the imagination of fans globally, and we are thrilled to be part of the journey to bring this extraordinary manhwa to life as an anime. Our collaboration with Aniplex symbolizes our commitment to delivering high-quality, diverse content that resonates with our viewers.“
While I’ve never read the original novel that the web comic is based on (it is on the to read list), the announcement of the anime adaptation and the trailers have sent me back to reread the web comic online. It has been really fun to learn not just the foundation of the story again but to see the start of the massive world building and other details. I have faith that the anime adaptation coming next month in January will cover the intricate details and ranking system of the Hunter Association along with showing Jinwoo’s ride on the struggle bus to being better and his reawakening as a stronger person who continues to strive for more. Come January, we’ll be seeing Jinwoo–anime’s latest underdog start his journey to unlock his potential and change the world as he knows it!
