The success of Solo Leveling and Tower of God has kicked open the doors for Korean manhwas to dominate the anime scene. As more readers dive into these webtoon-style comics, the demand for anime adaptations is reaching new heights.
Here are the most anticipated manhwas that fans are begging to see on screen, each with the potential to become the next global phenomenon.
1. Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint
Author: Sing Shong
Genre: Action, Fantasy, Psychological
This fan-favorite manhwa follows Kim Dokja, a lone reader of an obscure web novel that suddenly becomes reality. As the only one who knows what happens next, he must navigate a collapsing world using the novel’s plot as his survival guide.
📈 Why Fans Want It Animated:
The meta-storyline, world-building, and intense mind games make it perfect for a Made in Abyss-meets-Attack on Titan style adaptation. Studio MAPPA or Ufotable could absolutely crush this.
2. Solo Max-Level Newbie
Author: Maslow
Genre: Action, Dungeon, Game Elements
Jinhyuk, a gaming streamer, becomes the only person capable of clearing a deadly tower that suddenly merges with the real world. With god-tier knowledge and a maxed-out build, he bends the rules of survival.
🔥 Why Fans Want It Animated:
It has that overpowered main character vibe that fans of Solo Leveling love — but with a cocky, comedic edge. Think One Punch Man meets Sword Art Online.
3. The Beginning After the End
Author: TurtleMe
Genre: Reincarnation, Fantasy, Drama
King Grey is reincarnated into a new magical world, but his past and present lives clash in dramatic ways. This manhwa is rich in emotional storytelling, character growth, and magical combat.
💥 Why Fans Want It Animated:
It’s the Mushoku Tensei of manhwa — but with more action, less controversy, and a deeper emotional arc. Fans are already creating their own trailers on YouTube.
4. Eleceed
Author: Son Jeho & ZHENA
Genre: Action, Comedy, Superpowers
Jiwoo is a kind-hearted teen with super speed who partners with a powerful, snarky cat (who’s actually a top-tier awakened being). Together, they fight evil while trying to live normal lives.
🐾 Why Fans Want It Animated:
The perfect balance of action, comedy, and heartfelt moments. Plus, the visuals of lightning-fast fights and a smug talking cat would absolutely win audiences over.
5. Dungeon Reset
Author: Ant Studio
Genre: Isekai, Comedy, Adventure
A guy stuck in a deadly dungeon resets every time he dies — but he keeps all his skills. Now, with absurd crafting powers and no rules holding him back, he’s glitching the system in hilarious ways.
🧠 Why Fans Want It Animated:
It’s quirky, fun, and has a similar chaotic energy to Konosuba. Perfect for fans who want something light but creatively brilliant.
Why the Hype Matters
As Solo Leveling proved, when a manhwa gets a good studio and solid adaptation, the fanbase shows up big. These webtoons offer fresh storytelling, incredible art, and a break from repetitive anime tropes.
We’re entering a golden age where Korean stories are finding global audiences — and fans aren’t just reading. They’re cosplaying, collecting, and creating entire aesthetics inspired by their favorite manhwa worlds.
