Solo Leveling Season 1 has officially ended with Sung Jinwoo’s new powers, but can you find out the ending in the manhwa?
Based on the popular manhwa by Chugong and Jang Sung-rak, Solo Leveling is already one of the best anime shows of 2024. The story is set in a world that drastically changed a decade prior, thanks to the appearance of mysterious portals that connect the world to a realm of magic and monsters.
Since modern weaponization doesn’t work on these monsters, some humans are granted supernatural powers and are called “hunters.” The story follows Sung Jinwoo, who hunts monsters tirelessly in low-rank gates to pay for his mother’s medical bills and his sister’s education.
Although he’s known as the weakest hunter, he gets new powers after barely surviving a double dungeon. The anime debuted in January 2024 and has recently concluded its first cour of Season 1. However, it ends with a major cliffhanger, so you might wanna know what happens next. But will the Solo Leveling manhwa answer all your questions?
