This manga is based on a Korean novel, and the main character is an E-class hunterShun Mizushino

He is called "the weakest weapon of mankind," but on the brink of death, he is chosen by a mysterious "system" and gains the unique ability to grow.
Eventually, he becomes more than an S-class existence and gains the power to influence the fate of the world.

The story is not just a battle manga, but an epic tale involving relationships with family and friends, bargaining with enemies, and the intrigues of nations.
It is a well-paced work that you will not be able to stop reading as you go along.

Ragnarok" is a sequel set in the world after the completion of the main story.
The main character is Mamoru Mizushino, son of Shun MizushinoThe protagonist is Mamoru Mizushino, the son of Shun Mizushino. When peace is restored to the world, new changes occur, and Mamoru inherits the power of the "Lord of Shadows.

Mamoru does not yet have the same determination and experience as his father Shun, and his struggles and growth are carefully depicted.
In addition, new enemies and forces appear, allowing the audience to enjoy battles on a different scale from those in the main story.

🎯 Which should you read?

Both are fascinating, but let's start withI recommend reading the book first!
Only by learning about Shun's growth and activities can you better understand the world of Ragnarok and Mamoru's thoughts and feelings.

In "Ragnarok," I still feel sympathy for Mamoru as he struggles to forge his own path in a world where the influence of the season remains, and I would highly recommend reading the book first!

🖌 What is the difference in drawing style between DUBU sensei and the new drawing staff?

「SoloLeveling The artist in charge of the artwork for "DUBU" was REDICE Studio'sDUBU (Jang Song-Lak)is.
His powerful battle scenes and sensitive portrayal of characters were one of the major attractions that helped make this film a huge hit.

Unfortunately, however, Mr. DUBU passed away in July 2022, and a different drawing team is in charge of the sequel "Ragnarok.
The new series' artwork, while respecting Mr. DUBU's style, has a slightly softer and more modern design, and some readers may feel a slight difference in their impression of the new series.

The evolution and changes in the artwork can be seen especially when paying attention to the details of the characters' expressions and the depiction of battle effects.
Supported by the careful drawing that seems to continue the legacy of Mr. DUBU, "Ragnarok" has also received high acclaim.

We have compiled an article about DUBU-sensei here for those who are interested in his work.
