Comment from the authorIf there’s an opportunity in the future to adapt this story into a wonderful anime, I’m sure even more people will have the opportunity to enjoy “Solo Leveling”. I’ll continue doing everything I can to create an enjoyable story.SummaryAround a decade ago, a gate appeared linking our world with an alternate dimension. And along with it, people called “Hunters” awakened. These Hunters earn their keep by defeating the monsters lurking inside the gate. But not all Hunters are powerful beings. One such person, E-Rank Hunter Sung JinWoo, known as the “World’s Weakest Hunter”, is reluctantly doing the job to pay for his mother’s hospital bills. One day, JinWoo happens to stumble upon a “double-layered” dungeon hidden within a D-Rank dungeon, and moments before his death, he’s granted special powers. A daily quest window only he can see…!? Only he knows the secret to leveling up… by completing quests and defeating monsters every day, he can level up…!? Just how high will his level get!?

Thank you so much for voting us in at 5th place! This story is a tad different from your standard heroine × evil villain girl yuri fare. The manga only began recently, but we’ll do our best to get an anime adaptation someday!

Comment from the authorAaaaah, we made it! Thank you, everybody!
We got 1st place last year, so that couldn’t possibly happen twice…
“I’m sure everyone will vote differently…” At least, that’s what I thought.
But here we are, in the top 10! I’m so grateful! Thank you for your support! *Smooch*!!SummaryI want to talk, but I can’t. If people found out about this anxiety, what would I do? Komi is a girl whose beauty turns the heads of everyone around her, but she suffers from social anxiety. She has a lot of trouble communicating, and to the people around her, she comes off as unapproachable. “How do I strike up a conversation?” “Once I do, then what do I say?” Komi can’t help but get caught up on such questions. This story follows the school life of Komi and Tadano, who she befriends. Komi may be trembling from her heart all the way to her fingertips, but her goal is to make 100 friends! This communication comedy will have you grinning ear to ear before you know it, but at times it will make your heart ache! -

Comment from the authorThank you very much for voting us in at 9th place. It’s all thanks to the faithful readers out there who voted. Even though Yamada barely moves or even talks in the manga, and at the worst of times has no lines at all, I’d still love to see him animated. Seriously, thank you all so much.SummaryAkane gets dumped by her boyfriend after he cheats on her in an online game. As she’s hunting monsters in the game to let off some steam, a man with an afro from her guild named Yamada calls out to her. She gets caught up in the moment and complains to him about getting dumped, to which he coldly responds “I don’t give a crap.”
Later on, in an attempt to get back at her ex, Akane gets all dressed up and marches into a real-life event for the game, where she’s called out once again the exact same way Yamada did… but this time by a handsome young man who saved her. Akane’s love life, which ended in an online game, is about to begin anew in the same game!? -
