The upcoming anime adaptation of the popular South Korean webnovel and webtoon, Solo Leveling, recently released its second trailer, featuring not only the protagonist but also other key characters. The anime is scheduled to air in the upcoming winter (January 2024) and is being produced by A-1 Pictures.
Solo Leveling depicts a world in which the human and monster realms are linked via a portal known as "the Gate", with some humans having awakened superpowers to fight against the invading monsters. The protagonist, Sung Jin-Woo, is the weakest E-rank hunter in this world. One day, while exploring a dangerous dungeon with other hunters, they become trapped and almost everyone is killed. Sung Jin-Woo is also affected, but at the last moment, he accepts an opportunity given to him by a statue and wakes up in a hospital. To his surprise, he can now see various interface screens much like in games, including tasks, data, shops, levels, abilities, and more. From there, he embarks on a new adventure to become a top hunter and uncover the truth behind the world ravaged by monsters.
