About Solo Leveling Anime:

‘Solo Leveling’ is an anime television series based on Chu Gong’s South Korean web novel. It is directed by Shunsuke Nakashige, written and scripted by Noboru Kimura, and character design by Tomoko Sudo, whereas the music is composed by Huryoku Sawano. Both seasons of ‘Solo Leveling’ are available on Crunchyroll and other anime sites with their subtitles.

The plot of ‘Solo Leleving’ focuses on Sung Jin-Woo, who becomes the most unexpected hunter defending against monstrous threats. After a near encounter in a double dungeon, he gains access to a mysterious system that allows him to level up his skills and abilities, a unique power not shared by the other hunters. The system shows him with quests and challenges that make him strong and allows him to level up, making him progressively stronger, which is the concept of ‘Solo Leveling’. Each solo leveling dungeon has minions or weaker creatures who guard and fight for the dungeon boss.

On the other hand, the series recently won the anime of the year and best new series at the 9th Crunchyroll awards. In addition to it, its web novel has become a global phenomenon with millions of readers and has a devoted fan base.
