Where Does the Solo Leveling Anime End in the Manhwa?

The Short Answer

If you just finished Season 1 of the Solo Leveling anime (Episode 12, where Jinwoo gets his class change and utters the iconic "Arise"), you need to start reading the manhwa from Chapter 46.

This chapter marks the beginning of the "Red Gate Arc," where things escalate significantly in terms of action and world-building.

Read in Full Color: Unlike Japanese manga, Manhwa is printed in stunning full color. Pick up Solo Leveling Comic Vol. 3 on Amazon (covers Chapter 46 onwards).

Why Switch to the Manhwa?

The anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures is fantastic, especially the voice acting and music. However, the Solo Leveling manhwa is famous for one specific reason: The Art.

Drawn by the late, legendary artist DUBU (Redice Studio), the manhwa features some of the most dynamic, kinetic, and visually jaw-dropping action panels ever created. The way he draws Jinwoo's "Shadow Army" is something that is incredibly difficult to replicate in animation.

Since the manhwa is already 100% completed (ending at Chapter 179, plus some epilogue chapters), you can binge the entire power-fantasy story right now without having to wait years for the anime to catch up!
