Manga and anime have been closely tied to Japan since their inception, and that isn’t going to change, but there are an increasing number of adaptations of works from China and, especially, South Korea that end up becoming major international hits.‘Solo Leveling’ is the best example of a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly prominent in the Japanese animation industry. New productions are gradually arriving, and ‘SSS-Class Revival Hunter’ looks set to be the next one, with a premiere scheduled for January 2027 as part of next year’s winter anime season.
This is a South Korean web novelthat was later adapted into a manhwa published as a webtoon. Created by Shin Noah and illustrated by Bill K, the series will be adapted into an anime that will air on Crunchyroll. The story begins when a mysterious tower filled with monsters appears, attracting hunters willing to risk their lives in search of glory and riches. Kim Gong-ja is a weak F-rank hunter who, day after day, envies the Emperor of Flames, considered the best hunter. His chance to achieve greatness comes when he joins forces with him and obtains an exceptional S-rank ability—but with one condition: he must die to activate it.
A phenomenon with a growing presence in the anime industry
‘SSS-Class Revival Hunter’ is very reminiscent of ‘Solo Leveling’ in its premise, something that will delight fans of the popular series. STUDIO fu will be in charge of the adaptation, with Hiroaki Sakurai serving as director of a project that has great potential and has become one of the biggest hits in the manhwa world.
