A New Replacement For Solo Leveling Is Here, And It’s Even Better

This article contains spoilers from the Solo Leveling series.

I have to say, Solo Leveling Season 2 kicked off 2025 with an absolutely exhilarating start for anime fans, and the year as a whole has been amazing. We’ve seen a lot of really high-quality anime this year – some as good as Solo Leveling, and even a few that I’d argue are better. Although Solo Leveling finished its run around Spring 2025, there have been plenty of other fantastic shows to keep us entertained while we wait for its return. Sadly, there haven’t been any announcements regarding a Season 3 of Solo Leveling yet.

Viewers are currently unsure when the anime will be back, and a return doesn’t seem likely soon. Because of this, fans are watching other shows to take the place of Solo Leveling, and in Japan, in particular, one anime that has really stood out and impressed everyone is The Summer Hikaru Died. While this anime hasn’t become hugely popular worldwide and has a smaller fanbase, it’s one of the biggest hits of 2025 in Japan. Some even believe that it’s actually better than Solo Leveling, especially within Japan, where Solo Leveling doesn’t receive very positive reviews.

The Summer Hikaru Died Is One Of The Most Popular Anime In Japan

Solo Leveling Season 3 Won’t Come Anytime Soon

  • The Summer Hikaru Died has taken over Japan
  • Japanese fans prefer it to Solo Leveling

Wow, what a year for anime! But honestly, The Summer Hikaru Died has really blown me away. It’s become one of those unexpected gems of 2025 – I don’t think anyone predicted it would be *this* good, but it’s the kind of show that’s going to stick with me for a long time. The Summer Hikaru Died is just so touching, and it’s really different from something like Solo Leveling in pretty much every way. And you know what? That’s exactly why I, and so many others, are loving it so much!

For whatever reason, the place I belonged to became you, and that meant so incredibly much to me.

After Solo Leveling captivated audiences with its exciting action earlier this year, The Summer Hikaru Died has quickly become a standout anime, offering a fresh and compelling narrative. This series has been remarkably successful, establishing itself as a top contender, particularly due to its gripping paranormal storyline and the powerful emotional impact it creates. The show’s popularity is well-deserved, and it’s become a favorite among viewers for good reason.
