Solo Leveling anime episode schedule explained

The highly-anticipated Solo Leveling anime adaptation has become a smash hit – here’s the complete schedule of Season 1.

Based on the popular manhwa by Chugong and Jang Sung-rak, Solo Leveling is already one of the best anime shows of 2024. Fans simply can’t get enough of the series’ protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, conquering dungeons.

Noboru Kimura is the screenplay writer, with Tomoko Sudo designing the anime characters and Hirotaka Tokuda designing the monsters. The series 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.

Modern weaponization doesn’t work on these monsters, but some humans are granted supernatural powers and are called “hunters.” The story follows the aforementioned Sung, who hunts monsters tirelessly in low-rank gates to pay for his mother’s medical bills and his sister’s education. Here’s a look at the complete episode schedule of Solo Leveling.
