‘Tomb Raider King’ Reading Guide: Total Chapters & All Arcs Explained

The anime adaptation of Tomb Raider King started airing on July 8, 2026, and new episodes drop weekly (as per Crunchyroll). But let’s be honest for a second: a 12-episode season isn’t going to cover a story that spans over 400 chapters.

If you’re one of the impatient fans who cannot wait for the next season, the manhwa is already finished and is just waiting for you to binge. Here’s everything you need: how many volumes there are, what happens in each one, other ways to read the story, and where to actually find it online.

How Many Volumes Does Tomb Raider King Have?

Tomb Raider King has 17 volumes in its printed/collected release. The manhwa ran from 2019 to 2023 and is completely done, so you won’t get stuck waiting on new chapters mid-binge. Each volume is split into a handful of short story chunks the fandom wiki calls “arcs.

Even micro-events are treated as arcs for this manhwa. So, we’ve made a clearer division of the entire story. The following points show how the story is divided among the volumes and what important arcs are in them.

Part 1: The Setup (Volumes 1 – 4)

Joo-Heon regresses 15 years into the past, grabs the Relic that killed him, and starts building his tomb-raiding operation from scratch, all while dodging his old enemy Chairman Kwon.

• Volume 1 (Ch. 1 – 14): Tomb Raider Reborn, A Tomb Appears, Fabulous Las Vegas

• Volume 4 (Ch. 46 – 60): Saving the Holtons, The End of Kiera Clark, Reunion with Julian Miller, Signs of the Great Tomb

Part 2: The Seven Great Tombs (Volumes 5 – 9)

The really important events kick off here. Joo-Heon starts hunting down the Seven Great Tombs one by one, and old teammates from his past life start showing up—some as allies, others as enemies—making things complicated.

• Volume 5 (Ch. 61 – 74): The Tomb of Sloth, Hit Writer Joo-Heon, The Auction Scam
• Volume 6 (Ch. 75 – 88): The Tomb of Lust (Parts 1 & 2), Joo-Heon’s First List, Lucky Guy Joo-Heon

• Volume 9 (Ch. 117 – 130): Sun Tzu’s Tomb, Louis Martin’s identity gets exposed, and a hit gets put out on Joo-Heon

Part 3: Enemies Everywhere (Volumes 10 – 13)

Things start tensing up as Joo-Heon’s success makes him a target for basically everyone: corporations, governments, and old rivals all close in at once while he keeps chasing the remaining Relics.

• Volume 10 (Ch. 131 – 144): Reunited with Anubis, The Cursed Excavation Team, Julian Regains His Memories, Chairman Kwon Trapped in a Coffin
• Volume 11 (Ch. 145 – 157): Rope Wants to Become Human, Jaeha Proves His Skill, Chairman Kwon’s Relic Search, Airplane Terror
• Volume 12 (Ch. 158 – 171): Chairman Kwon Gets Cleaned Out, Rope’s Humanization, Chloe Regains Her Memories, Joining TKBM
• Volume 13 (Ch. 172 – 185): Jamming the Detection, Tower of Pride, Provoking Through Discord, Jaeha’s Life Turnaround

Part 4: The Endgame (Volumes 14 – 17)

The final stretch. Buried secrets about the Great Seven and the true nature of the mysterious Crow come out, old loyalties get tested, and the story builds to its finish.

• Volume 14 (Ch. 186 – 200): Continues the fallout from Volume 13
• Volume 15 (Ch. 201 – 215): Jaeha Yoo’s escape, his attempt to make things right, and Ilya’s getting her memories back
• Volumes 16 and 17 (Ch. 216 onward): Close out the remaining threads and bring the story to its ending

A quick heads up: this volume-to-volume breakdown comes from the physical printed version of the manhwa. As of August 2026, the English translation only has 15 volumes, with volume 16 set to publish in October, and Volume 17 in January 2027.

Are There Any Other Adaptations of the Story?

Yes, there are multiple formats available for Tomb Raider King. Originally, it started as a web novel. The manhwa, illustrated by Redice Studio, came after and is the most popular way people read the story today. There’s also a sequel novel called Tomb Raider King: End Line, which follows Joo-Heon through a new conflict called the Majesty War.

And now there’s the anime, animated by Studio EEK, which is what’s airing weekly right now.
