perfect read for fans missing Solo Leveling.

According to an announcement on X by KakaoPage, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok's webtoon adaptation is expected to be released on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, at 10 p.m. Korean Standard Time. The announcement was accompanied by a new key visual featuring Sung Suho, Jinwoo's son and the protagonist of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, who appears to be the spitting image of his father as he smiles wielding two swords, surrounded by swirling shadows in the new visual.

Interestingly, though the official announcement mentions the webtoon will be released on August 1, the series' homepage on KakaoPage reveals the series will actually be released a day prior, likely as part of a special release event. That said, fans were already expecting the release as the series was listed on the ISBN registry earlier this week, which also revealed that the sequel series, just like Solo Leveling, has been adapted by Redice Studio, known for their exceptional art. The webtoon artist for Solo Leveling: Ragnarok has also finally been revealed and is listed by the alias JIN, whose other works are currently unknown.

Solo Leveling: Ragnarok To Make Its Webtoon Debut in July

The English Release of the Sequel Series is Yet to Be Revealed

Solo Leveling: Ragnarok's webtoon adaptation was first announced back in October 2023 by the CEO of D&C Media in an interview. As seen in the Crunchyroll documentary on Solo Leveling, adapting a web novel into a webtoon or manhwa can take quite a while as a series is only published once a good chunk of chapters are ready in advance. As such, it makes sense that it took almost a year till Solo Leveling's sequel was ready to make its debut as a webtoon.

Unsurprisingly, as the series is also licensed by D&C Media, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok's webtoon will be released on KakoPage, and will most likely gradually make its way to other Kakao-owned manga platforms like Piccoma. As of present, no information has been provided on when fans can expect the series to be licensed in English. Unfortunately, it may take a while until the series is officially translated as it typically takes a few months for a series to be licensed after its Korean debut.

However, considering the current popularity of Solo Leveling around the world and the anticipation surrounding the sequel, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok may defy convention and be licensed sooner than most manhwa. For now, the web novel of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is available in English from Tapas.

Solo Leveling's Sequel Already Appears to Live Up to the Original

Solo Leveling: Ragnarok's Art Looks Promising

One of the main reasons Solo Leveling rose to the heights that it did was because of its exceptional art by Jang Sung-rak, and despite the artist's ing, Solo Leveling managed to keep up the same high standard of quality. As such, some of the highest expectations of the sequel are centered around the visuals and art.

Fortunately, besides the stunning new key visual, KakaoPage's website also reveals a few glimpses of the manhwa and what to expect from the plot, with a few excerpts from Solo Leveling's epilogue as well, and so far, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok's art seems like it will manage to live up to these expectations fairly well. Though JIN is still fairly unknown as an artist, the few previews reveal the sequel may be able to recreate the same character designs and visuals fans have come to know and love in Solo Leveling.

Solo Leveling is available to read from Tapas, Tappytoon, and Pocket Comics.
