Who Is Illustrating The Solo Leveling Season 2 Manga Chapters?

Brightly colored panels and those cinematic action spreads are what hooked me, and when people ask who draws the season 2 chapters of 'Solo Leveling' I get a little protective about giving credit where it's due. The original, iconic art that put this series on the map was the work of Jang Sung-rak, who worked under the name DUBU and was part of REDICE Studio. His style — those sharp character silhouettes, dramatic lighting, and kinetic fight choreography — is what most fans picture when they think of 'Solo Leveling.'

After Jang Sung-rak passed away, the team at REDICE (often still credited as DUBU or REDICE Studio) continued producing the webtoon; season 2 chapters are produced under that studio umbrella. Practically, that means a group of artists and colorists are maintaining the visual continuity while honoring his aesthetic. If you flip through later season 2 chapters you can spot subtle shifts — different line weights in closeups, slightly altered background textures, or changes in panel rhythm — but the overall atmosphere and character designs remain faithful to what DUBU established.

If you care about where to read official releases, the Korean originals are on KakaoPage and the international English releases have been available through licensed platforms like Tappytoon and other official partners, which carry the season 2 chapters credited to DUBU/REDICE Studio. There are also fan discussions comparing early-season pages to later ones and pointing out which scenes feel most influenced by individual team members, which is fascinating if you like art analysis. For me, knowing that the studio kept working to preserve the look while moving the story forward made it feel like a collective tribute; the visuals still give me that punch of excitement every new chapter, and I can't help grinning whenever a fight scene lands just right.

When someone wants the short, practical version I say: the season 2 chapters of 'Solo Leveling' are illustrated under the DUBU/REDICE Studio banner — the original lead artist was Jang Sung-rak (who went by DUBU) and the studio continued production afterward. That’s why you’ll see the same signature visual language even as a team carries things forward.

From a reader’s perspective this continuity matters more than a single name: the studio approach keeps character proportions, color palettes, and the overall cinematic feel consistent across seasons. If you want to follow the official releases, look for the chapters on licensed platforms where REDICE/DUBU is credited; the art still delivers the punchy, glossy action that made me stay hooked. I feel reassured seeing the style preserved — it’s both a tribute and a continuation, and honestly it still gives me chills during the big boss fights.
