Tomb Raider King will begin airing in Japan in July. Korean websites (via Google Translate) say that it’ll also be released simultaneously on South Korea’s Aniplus and on global streaming platforms.
The animation is based on the webtoon drawn by 3B2S. The webtoon adapts the web novel by SAN.G, with REDICE STUDIO’s Yuns credited with adapting it. Yen Press publishes volumes of the comic in English and describes the synopsis as such:
In the year 2025, mysterious tombs appeared all over the world, each housing an ancient relic granting supernatural abilities. The lucky few who quickly obtained these relics ruled over powerful monopolies. Others came to serve them, such as Jooheon Suh, a “raider” who hid in tombs to steal relics. Betrayed by his employer, Jooheon is left to die but instead finds himself transported 15 years in the past. Armed with years of tough raiding experience and knowledge of what is to come in the world of relics, does Jooheon have what it takes to become the “Tomb Raider King”?
The Tomb Raider King web novel is available in English on Wuxiaworld and Tapas. The latter also has the webtoon.
In Japan, the comic is serialized in Japan on Piccoma, with KADOKAWA publishing volumes under the MF Comics label/imprint.
