Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, Vol. 1 is now out in English from Ize Press, the Yen Press imprint for Korean comics. Released July 21, 2026, the 312-page volume follows Sooho Sung, son of Jinwoo and Haein, in a new story set in the world of gates and hunters. No anime adaptation has been announced.
The print edition carries ISBN 9798400904776, while the digital edition uses ISBN 9798400904783. Yen Press lists both editions in English, with the paperback priced at US$20 and the digital edition at US$9.99 at launch.
What Solo Leveling: Ragnarok is about
Ragnarok shifts the focus from Sung Jinwoo to his son, Sooho. At the beginning of the comic, Sooho appears to be an ordinary college student. His parents disappeared before gates began opening again, and the strange dreams in which he fights monsters feel disconnected from his everyday life.
That changes when monsters attack his campus. Sooho chooses to protect a classmate instead of escaping, and a familiar game-like message announces that he has become a Player. The setup echoes Jinwoo's awakening in the original series, but Sooho starts from a different place: he has inherited an extraordinary legacy without fully understanding his family or the power surrounding him.
Who created the English comic edition?
Yen Press credits Daul as the original author, Brix of REDICE Studio for the adaptation and JIN of REDICE Studio as the artist. The English edition is translated by J. Torres and Hye Young Im, with lettering by Tansy Noon. Those credits distinguish the collected comic from Daul's original web novel and from the earlier Solo Leveling series.
The Korean webtoon began publication in August 2024. Volume 1 collects the opening portion into a physical book with an older-teen rating. It is aimed at readers who prefer a collected edition or want an official English version on their shelf rather than reading the episodes individually.
Do you need to finish Solo Leveling first?
Readers can understand Sooho's immediate conflict from the new volume, but Ragnarok is a direct sequel. The original comic explains Jinwoo's abilities, the Monarchs, the Rulers and the relationships that shape Sooho's background. Reading the main series first will therefore make the returning characters and inherited powers more meaningful.
For readers already familiar with the anime, the new book goes beyond the point covered by the animated adaptation and contains major information about Jinwoo's future. Anyone avoiding spoilers should finish the original Solo Leveling story before beginning Ragnarok.
Is a Solo Leveling: Ragnarok anime confirmed?
No official anime adaptation of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok has been announced as of this update. The English comic release is not an anime announcement, and promotional artwork for the broader franchise should not be treated as confirmation of a new television production.
Fans should watch the official Solo Leveling channels, Aniplex and the series' production partners for verified animation news. For the book itself, Yen Press provides the authoritative release date, credits, ISBNs and retailer links.
