Manhwa fans have been eating well for the last few years with all their favorite manhwa getting anime adaptations, like Solo Leveling, The Girl Downstairs, A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special, A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special, Lookism, Tower of God, etc.
Just recently, the anime adaptation of one of the best manhwa, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, was announced. And within a week, we got another news of a manhwa getting an anime adaptation, How to Fight, which was very unexpected news.
The manhwa is also in the final stage of the storyline, and it may soon end in about a year, so it will be a good time for it to release its anime. So, in this article, we will be taking a look at the news of How to Fight receiving an anime adaptation along with its plot and what future this adaptation holds.
Anime Adaptation
Webtoon is going to announce three anime adaptations of popular manhwas this year. The first one of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, and then now a leak came out that the second anime is going to be How to Fight, which also goes by the Viral Hit.
The third manhwa anime adaptation is still secret, but it will soon be revealed by them in one or two months. The news is only about How to Fight getting an anime adaptation, so we don’t know when it’s going to be released or which studio is animating it.
However, it will be revealed soon by the end of March 2024, in which we will get to know about the studio that is going to work on the anime as well as the year in which it will be released.

Plot
The story revolves around Yoo Hobin, who is good for nothing highschooler. He always used to get bullied by the students at school, but Hobin ignores them as he thinks it’s very difficult for him to face them,
However, one day, Hobin’s life changed completely with an unintentional incident. He became very famous because of a video he uploaded on YouTube, which he also didn’t want to upload at first. So, with that video, Hobin started getting popular and richer at the same time.
But because he uploaded that video unintentionally, Hobin was unable to produce the same type of video again. By seeing the popularity and money that he got from a viral video, he gets motivated to create creative videos to upload on YouTube. However, to make the same video again, Hobin needs to learn How to Fight.
Review
How To Fight’s story is really good, and we get to see many good characters throughout the story. Hobin makes kind of his own group that fights with really strong guys and gang members. Hobin becomes a hero from zero by working really hard.
The manhwa is still ongoing with over 217 chapters as of Monday, 21 January 2024. As I said earlier, the manhwa is at the final arc, which means that it will be over soon in the next year,
How to Fight (Viral Hit) is one of the most popular manhwas with over a Million readers and a 9.82 rating on Webtoons. If you loved watching Lookism, you are definitely going to like How to Fight as it lies in the same genre.
Anime’s Future
However, it is still unknown if they are releasing it as a proper anime or just promotional material for its manhwa, The same as what God of High School did years ago. They release just a season, and then they expect the viewer to read its manhwa to know the future story.
Seeing manhwa adaptations getting a good response from the anime viewers, they are announcing manhwa adaptations one by one. We have gotten a good quantity of adaptation in the last two years, and it will grow every year.
But I still think that they should animate full manhwa instead of adapting only one season to promote their manhwa, as many of the viewers are anime-only watchers, who don’t like to read instead they wait for its next season. So, it will be better if they animate How to Fight entirely.
