Welcome to the World of Cyber-Boxing#
If you are looking for a series that blends high-stakes sports with a unique aesthetic, Levius (also known as Levius/est) might be for you. Set in an era where steam powers the world, the story focuses on the exhilarating and brutal world of cyber-boxing—a sport where human bodies are fused with machinery to enhance combat capabilities. The story follows a young man named Levius, whose journey into this world is driven by destiny, but whose ultimate success depends on his own talents.
You can watch the anime on Prime Video to experience this steampunk world in motion.
Is the Levius Anime Finished?#
When asking if the anime is “finished,” it is important to look at the source material. The Levius anime, which premiered in November 2019, is an adaptation of the manga. According to industry news, the Levius/est manga reached its conclusion around December 2020.
Because the anime is an adaptation of a completed manga series, the overarching narrative has a defined end in the original text. However, whether the anime alone provides a fully satisfying conclusion depends on how much of the source material was covered. For those who want the complete story and every detail of Levius’s journey, we highly recommend picking up the Levius/est manga to ensure you haven’t missed any critical plot points.
