A Small Glispe of Solo Leveling is Here
Rumors online suggest the possibility of a second cour, but no official confirmation has been provided. If a second cour is indeed planned, it may consist of an additional 12 or 13 episodes, bringing the total for the first season to 25 episodes.
The anime’s first episode introduces the world of Hunters, depicting a group of hunters battling giant red ant-type monsters three years before the main storyline. The narrative explores the emergence of “Magic Beasts” over ten years ago and the rise of Hunters with magical abilities. Protagonist Sung Jin-Woo, initially an E-rank hunter known as the “World’s Weakest Hunter,” becomes involved in a challenging dungeon raid.
Supporting characters like the Chairman of the Hunter’s Association, Go Gun-Hee, and S-rank hunter Cha Hae-In are introduced, along with concepts such as essence stones, mana stones, and hunter rankings. Guilds that recruit hunters are also highlighted in the narrative.
