Solo Leveling  (나 혼자만 레벨업, Na Honjaman Lebel-eob), also known as I Level Up Alone in English, is a Korean graphic novel written by Chu-Gong. It was serialised in Papyrus, then KakaoPage, and completed with 14 volumes and 270 chapters.

In a statement released today, Funimation confirmed that they will be collaborating with the highly regarded Japanese animation studio MAPPA to localise the Solo Leveling anime adaptation for western audience in a simulcast format. Beginning in the spring of 2022, the subtitled and dubbed English versions of the Korean anime will be made available exclusively on Funimation.

WILL BE AS GOOD AS ATTACK ON TITAN?!

MAPPA Studio is most well-known for their long-running, gruesome, and shocking anime adaptation of Attack on Titan, which has been running for almost a decade. The novel-turned-anime adaptation of Hajime Isayama’s novel is widely regarded as one of the most graphic and gory Japanese series of all time, and it has appeared on numerous top ten lists throughout history.

Season 4 of Attack on Titan premiered at the end of 2020, with the first half of the final season setting the stage for an epic conclusion in winter 2022. The remaining episodes of the popular anime are quickly approaching, and they will bring Eren Yeager’s story to a close — for better or worse.

Funimation and MAPPA remain tight-lipped on the finer details of the highly anticipated adaptation of Chu-Gong’s masterclass. However, we’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more so consider following us on social media!
