by

Manhwa (Korean comics) have always been popular, but they’re experiencing a surge in popularity now, largely thanks to successful anime adaptations that are reaching a global audience. Several of these adaptations have boosted manhwa’s visibility, and Solo Leveling is a prime example. It’s helped open doors for other manhwa series to gain wider recognition. While Solo Leveling is arguably the most successful manhwa anime, many other manhwa series are even better and more well-loved.

Fans of Korean webcomics (Manhwa) have a new series to anticipate! The Stellar Swordmaster, a hugely popular title on Webtoon, is confirmed to be getting an anime adaptation. This project is a collaboration between Webtoon and Warner Bros., and has fans buzzing with excitement. While there’s a possibility the third season of Solo Leveling could be delayed, this new anime offers something else to look forward to. If done well, some believe The Stellar Swordmaster could even become more popular than Solo Leveling.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the anime version of The Stellar Swordmaster, but that’s not the only manhwa getting the anime treatment. Webtoon and Warner Bros. are partnering to bring several popular manhwa series from the platform to life as anime.

The Stellar Swordmaster is one of ten new anime series in development. So far, only four titles have been officially announced: The Stellar Swordmaster, Hardcore Leveling Warrior, Elf & Warrior, and Down to Earth.

Solo Leveling Might Remain The Most Popular Manhwa

While Solo Leveling doesn’t have particularly complex storytelling – many other Manhwa like The Stellar Swordmaster have stronger narratives – it’s become incredibly popular, largely thanks to its amazing action sequences and how beautifully they were animated in the anime.
