How many Solo Leveling volumes are there in English?

Fifteen: thirteen story volumes and two side-story volumes, complete in March 2026.

The English comic is published by Yen Press and now issued under Ize Press, the company's Korean-comics imprint. Volume 1 was released on March 2, 2021, a 320-page full-color paperback at 5.75 by 8.25 inches (ISBN 9781975319434), the first time Dubu's art appeared in English print. The series became a New York Times bestselling fixture for the imprint and the anchor title of English-language manhwa in bookstores.

The run closed at 15 volumes in March 2026. Volumes 1 to 13 adapt the main webtoon, following the Korean print edition's recomposed pages, and volumes 14 and 15 are subtitled Side Stories 1 and Side Stories 2 for the DISCIPLES epilogue episodes. At $20 a volume, the complete comic set runs north of $250 at list, a figure worth knowing because casual listings often mix comic volumes, prose novels and the sequel into one misleading count.

Two format facts define the English books. They are full color throughout, like the Korean edition and unlike black-and-white manga, and they read left to right as bound pages, so the vertical scroll's reveals become page turns. The translation team credited on volume 1, J. Torres and Hye Young Im translating with Abigail Blackman lettering, set the English voice of the System's windows that the anime later inherited.
