beginning of her path to the top. To the delight of fans of action and fantasy
stories, the popular play SSS-Class Suicide Hunter (SSS-Class
Revival Hunter) officially confirmed that it will have an anime adaptation

Sobre
SSS-Class Suicide Hunter
Originally
born as a web novel written by Sinnoa in November 2018, the
story made the leap to the digital manhwa format with Neida's art
in December 2020. Since then, the work has been a huge success thanks to its
unique twist on the rook and hunter genre.
The plot
takes us to a world where a mysterious tower full of monsters appears out of
nowhere, attracting hunters willing to risk their lives for fame and fortune.
There we meet Gongja Kim, a weak F-rank hunter and envious of the number one
hunter in the world. His destiny changes drastically when he allies himself
with the Sword Emperor and obtains an extremely strange S-rank ability: to
activate it he must die, which allows him to go back in time and copy the
abilities of whoever killed him.
