The story of Solo was finished twice in the original novel and the adaptation of Manhwa, so the anime has a lot to work in terms of material to adapt. It already applies this advantage to implement a prefiguration earlier than one or the other source. Season 1 of Solo It was a versatile success through his interesting story, his fantastic animation and his interesting world.
The greatest number of chapters covered by a single episode is 6, and the least is 2. The anime, the Manhwa and the Web novel all pass on the same story, but changes have been made to better adapt the different formats. Since the chapters of the Manhwa and the novel are relatively short, the anime can cover a lot without problem. In particular, the arcs Solo are much shorter than in many Anime Shonen. If the anime maintains the same relative adaptation rate, fans should expect more seasons in the future.
