The anime adaptation of Solo Leveling, officially titled Solo Leveling: The Animation, is currently in production and does not yet have a release date. Therefore, it's impossible to say which chapter of the Solo Leveling web novel or manhwa the anime will cover at any given point. However, we can speculate and address common questions surrounding the adaptation.
How Much of the Story Will the Anime Cover?
This is the biggest question on many fans' minds. The sheer volume of content in the Solo Leveling manhwa (and web novel) is significant. A single season of anime, even a long one, is unlikely to cover the entire story. Many expect the first season to adapt a significant portion of the early arcs, focusing on Sung Jin-Woo's initial struggles and his growth as a hunter. Subsequent seasons would then continue to adapt the story, assuming the anime is successful and receives renewals.
Will the Anime Follow the Manhwa or the Web Novel?
The most likely scenario is that the anime will follow the manhwa more closely. The manhwa adaptation is visually stunning and already enjoys immense popularity. Deviating too much from its established visuals and pacing could risk alienating a significant portion of the fanbase. While the web novel contains additional details, adapting it directly would likely require significantly more time and resources.
What are the Key Story Arcs We Might See in the Anime's First Season?
The first season is likely to concentrate on the early pivotal moments in Jin-Woo's journey. This would include:
- The Double Dungeon Incident: This early arc is crucial in establishing Jin-Woo's unique abilities and the start of his growth.
- The Rise of the Shadow Soldiers: The introduction and development of Jin-Woo's shadow army will undoubtedly feature prominently.
- Early Confrontations with High-Rank Hunters/Monsters: This will showcase his escalating power and the challenges he overcomes.
What Chapters are Fans Speculating Will Be Included?
Due to the lack of official information, speculation runs rampant. Many believe the first season could potentially cover the first 50-70 chapters of the manhwa. This is simply an educated guess, though, and depends heavily on the anime's pacing and episode count.
When Will the Anime Cover Specific Chapters?
It's currently impossible to determine when the anime will reach specific chapters without knowing the anime's release date and its pacing. As more information becomes available, we'll have a better idea.
Conclusion
The excitement surrounding the Solo Leveling anime is immense. While we don't yet know the specific chapters covered in the first season (or any season for that matter), the anticipation remains high. As official updates emerge, we will surely have a clearer picture of its scope and adaptation choices. For now, we can only patiently wait and speculate based on the available material.
