Since its debut on the Naver Webtoon platform in 2010, Tower of God has captivated audiences with its compelling storyline. The webtoon has inspired a 12-episode anime adaptation produced by Telecom Animation Film, under the direction of Takashi Sana and scriptwriting by Erika Yoshida, which was released in April 2020. The original work has faced several delays due to the author’s consistent commitment to high-quality storytelling.
The author’s meticulous approach has led to frequent interruptions in the release of chapters, prompting fans to humorously refer to Tower of God as a different version of Hunter x Hunter. After just a few chapters, the author announced breaks lasting several months, often due to the complex narrative structure that requires careful planning to maintain continuity and coherence.
The anime adaptation of Tower of God follows the journey of a boy named Bam and his friend Rachel, who find themselves trapped in a mysterious tower. Participants in this tower must face numerous challenges and dangers as each floor presents different trials and unique rules. Those who fail the challenges risk losing their possessions, freedom, or even their lives.
Despite the overwhelming dangers, many are drawn to the tower by the allure of power, wealth, or sheer strength. As Bam and Rachel navigate the tower, they learn valuable lessons while trying to escape its confines.
