The influence of this kind of Asian-originated comic story has risen all around the globe which has affected other marketing sales. And to be specific the market of manhwa has skyrocketed not only in South Korea but almost everywhere. Amongst all the manhwas that have been raging the top list of the manhwa world for all these years, Solo Leveling or I level Up alone is one of the best of its kind. After a long journey of 4 years, the manhwa has marked its ending point recently with 179 mind-blowing chapters.

Will the story of the original Manhwa be changed for the upcoming anime?
As per reports and rumors, a lot of details from the original Korean Solo Leveling Manhwa will be changed in the upcoming Solo Leveling Anime. Other than some minor changes in the storyline, there will be some big changes like the name of the main character will be changed to Shun Mizushino from the OG Jin-Woo and the series of events will now take place in Tokyo, the capital of Japan instead of Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
News of The Production of Solo Leveling
Speaking of reports, on a microblogging site in China called Weibo, an insider has given confirmation that the Solo Leveling Anime is getting official and the announcement of the release date is going to take place soon. Aside from this particular user, many other Twitter users have also commented on this topic, claiming this news to be absolutely true.
If these rumors are actually true, we can make some speculations that Studio Mir is going to be in charge of the production works. In this context, you should that Studio Mir is a studio that originated in South Korea and is well-known for its top-notch works in several popular animated series like The Legends of Korra and DOTA: Dragon’s Blood.
As all the fans are already familiar with the events where the manga is adapted into anime, fans really wanted MAPPA or Ufotable to take over the production. But considering the anti-Japan factors in the story of this manhwa, that won’t be happening. Some webtoons such as Tower of God or Noblesse got adapted and licensed by the online streaming platform Crunchyroll.
Regardless, we don’t have any kind of official release date or details about the production in our hands. The publishers of Solo Leveling and D&C media have not yet disclosed any information about the adaptation, but judging by the hype, we’ll get some from the insiders anyways.
On the other hand, the world-famous South Korean K-pop band, The Boyz is appointed to release an original OST for the upcoming Solo Leveling anime. the release date for the OST is scheduled for February
2022.
When is Solo Leveling Anime Coming?
Now regarding the anticipated release date, as the manhwa is quite big, we don’t think the studio will cover the whole story in one season. Considering there will be more than one season if the studio rushes their work, (without downgrading the anime quality like it was done with God of High School) we can probably see it in the 4th quarter of 2022 or in the 1st quarter of 2023! And if the creators don’t wanna make it more suspenseful for the fans and decide to release it in one go… then good luck with your waiting, we ain’t gonna see it before the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2023.
Who will be in Solo Leveling Anime?
Coming to the cast of the show, there have been several speculations about the voice actor who will portray the main character of the anime, Sung-Jin Woo. Some people are saying that the famous voice actor Mamoru Miyano will be voicing the character if the manhwa is adapted by a Japanese studio. Mamoru Miyano is famous for voicing the character Light in Death Note. And for the English version of the anime, there have been several rumors that famous voice actor Johnny Yong Bosch will be the guy. Jonny Yong Bosch is famous for voicing several characters like Ichigo (Bleach), Sabo (One Piece), Lelouch (Code Geass)
