Z-city is where Onepunch Man lives right? It seems that not all of these heroes are useless after all.

^Yep and Genos noticed the approaching duo.

So many characters were introduced (well, kinda), I hope they will return in the future.

I wonder why Z-city is considered to be such an awful place. Saitama has been actively destroying all the major threats in the area for 3 years, it shouldn't take much of a hero to deal with pipsqueaks he ignores.

Though this does explain why Genos thought it was safe to fight the mosquito chick in Saitama's neighborhood.

Boring chapter overall, no real plot advancement and nothing particularly funny and/or surprising. Hopefully this is setting up something awesome in the next chapter.

I'm sorry, what? this chapter had more plot advancement (or should i say plot beginning?) than the whole series so far. or are you confusing "plot" with "action"? while i'll agree it wasnt the most entertaining chapter, this looks like the setup for an actual story is starting that might last more than a couple chapters.

While I did it find it boring, I do understand that it was needed and a nice set up chapter for what's to come, so I had no problem with it overall.

Oh, and horse mask.

I did some research regarding that and it turns out she's the protagonist in a One Shot manga called Dangan Tenshi Fanclub. I'm a bit disappointed she probably won't make an appearance in OPM. :(

I can see where you're coming from, but honestly, all that exposition just felt like a red herring of some sort. That and I kept waiting for Saitama to make an appearance so it made it hard to appreciate the chapter.

wonder if it's saitama presence to attract all the strong monsters

it would be funny if the comedic battles did have a real effect of the world, that would be so meta

Ehehe all the comments about the 'Demon Cyborg', and Saitama's reaction I cant.

"As the people only wrote down their impressions after looking at a picture of me and don't really know anything about me, I don't particularly care." Lol that'd be my reaction too Genos.

"Even if the world does not acknowledge it, I have to say that I have yet to meet a person as outstanding as you, teacher." P=

21.3

Omg that cover image. "Hunter x Hunter is super interesting".

21.4

Glorious color pages.

I love that thinking of Saitama's dorky face gave Genos the determination to do what he needed to.

Hahaha dat ass.

Seems like you're confused with how the chapters are numbered. Check out Mangakoi's one punch man section it has both the standard chapter count and the odd ones with decimals for each chapter

I actually really loved the chapter.
Genos going full power was cool (even though he completely failed... Again)
Also Bang looks like an interesting character

This post is discussing all the chapter 21's. For starters, Saitama's got great taste in manga. More importantly, this may have been the most impressive flex I've seen in awhile. I love how wholly this story embraced the cinematic flipbook style, and they did it in so many different ways. The first zoom out to showcase the meteor was perhaps the weakest so far, but it was still cool to see that technique be implemented in a different style. From there they just keep getting better and better.

The second half being colour pages just blew me away. I tend to actually prefer black and white for my manga in most cases, but the use of colour here was exquisite. Bofoi's robot couldn't have nearly looked as impressive in the black and white scheme as it does here, with all the colour reflecting off it, and it gave all the attacks on the meteor an extra dazzle to it all.

The final flipbook was the best, for the more dynamic camera work for lack of a better phrase and for ending on a pretty funny gag.

If Saitama had known about the hero association a long time ago, maybe he would have lived a relaxed life and been at the top of the rankings.
