7 Solo Leveling manhwa volumes in Overall Top 10 on Yen Press

With the ongoing Solo Leveling anime series one of the most popular of the current season, is anyone surprised the interest in the anime has moved over to the manhwa (Korean term for manga) it is based on?

Or that the Solo Leveling manhwa seems to be selling like ice cream on the beach on a hot summer day over on Yen Press?

In fact, when you look at the current Overall Top 10 Most Popular Books on Yen Press, you probably shouldn’t be surprised to learn seven out of the 10 are various Solo Leveling manhwa volumes either.

It isn’t just the Solo Leveling manhwa series that is selling so well either, as the Solo Leveling light novel series grabbed five spots on the Top 10 Yen On chart (Yen On being the Yen Press imprint for light novels.

Of course, with the Solo Leveling anime being such a hit, it is only natural that anime fans are making sure they can watch or read the intriguing story in every medium.

Yen Press then is happy to oblige with 8 volumes of the Solo Leveling light novel series out in English, and the 8th Volume of the manhwa coming out in English earlier this week.

Although, honestly, I can guarantee you the Solo Leveling anime is easily one of the best of the Winter 2024 anime season before you even start.
