Solo Leveling dates its return with spectacular progress

On the official site for the anime adaptation of the webtoon "Solo Leveling," a new promotional video for the second season of the project was revealed. The video confirms that the premiere is scheduled for January 4, 2025 in Japan, and shows a fragment of the closing theme titled "UN-APEX" and performed by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure.

The statement included a special message from the artist:

• "I'm TK, an E-rank hunter on the edge. Continuing with the production of the previous project, this time I am in charge of my own project. I think I managed to express that contrast where passion increases along with an increasing coldness. There's one thing that has always troubled me: the fact that I'm the only one who can't level up. However, from the bottom of the scale, I bring you a super S-level song."

The first season aired during the Winter-2024 season (January-March) and had a total of twelve episodes. Chugong published the original novels through KakaoPage between July 2016 and March 2018, with a total of fourteen volumes. A webtoon adaptation was published since March 2018 through KakaoPage by Jang Sung-rak and ended in December 2021.

Synopsis of Solo Leveling

Since a portal appeared that connects our world to another full of monsters and creatures of all kinds, some people have acquired powers and the ability to hunt them, obtaining the name of hunters. The protagonist, Sung Jin-woo, is the weakest of the E-rank hunters and barely stronger than a normal human. He is nicknamed by his fellow hunters as "the weakest". One day, he and others find themselves trapped in an extremely dangerous dungeon, and only a few survive and manage to escape. Sung Jin-woo himself barely survives and is the only one who completes all the tests in this dungeon, becoming a "player", being able to see an interface that shows him quests, stats, inventory, shops and levels. Will he manage to level up to become the most powerful hunter?
