I have only seen the raw but it looks interesting. Also wasn’t expecting to see guns right when I was thinking of guns lol. I wonder what is the setting here exactly? I was expecting typical medieval fantasy but then it turned futuristic |

Well, it looks like this won't be another one's story about an OP protagonist. |

https://mangadex.org/chapter/7d5085ee-d129-473d-9e26-fd6fdf99ddc7 Translated chapter link ^^^ Goddamn this looks lame. Way too many characters and events in the first chapter. One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 took their time in introducing well fleshed out characters and villains. We get introduced to generic black haired shonen protagonist and we know basically nothing about him. The first 80 pages of One Punch Man and Mob Psycho already well established their main characters motivations and backstories making them already unique and interesting. Oh well we'll see I guess but the first chapter is a 5/10 for me. |

So the heroes all are failing against the demons so they summoned another world to help but the other world is also in trouble. Maybe they can swap enemies? The medieval fantasy heroes can fight whatever the sci-fi guys are fighting and the sci-fi guys fight the demons with their guns. |

They might try and do another summon in the next chapter. It was fun. I mean they tried to make you get interested in the story. One punch man has a very good first chapter, compared to that it might not have been that great for me, but still good. I like ones writing so idc, I will read it. The art is awesome. |

Fuck that was amazing - thought it would be a generic isekai but its actually fucking insane. This series is gonna be a blast I can already tell |

Interesting idea. My thought for right now is that the enemy from the sci-fi world are robots who can shut down the tech of the soldiers but have no defense against magic. |

Wait I'm slightly confused. Did the Heroes get teleported to the future or did the future soldiers get teleported to the fantasy world? I can't tell if the futuristic city in the background at the end of the chapter was meant to convey that the heroes actually teleported or if it was just a backdrop. |

But knowing that ONE's specialty is character writing, I have hope for this series. |

What a master piece. Seems like a mix of Isekai and One Punch Man but the plot itself is interesting. Since this is made by ONE, Saitama look alike might be summoned next to help modern humans from extinction. Looking forward for the next chapter. |

Not an interesting first chapter to be honest, pretty underwhelming as a whole. I'm not a fan of OPM/Mob but their starts seemed more promising at least than the start here. Will give it some time to see if it gets better. |

looks promising an isekai manga with a twist that both parallel human worlds (sci-fi and fantasy world) are facing their natural enemy so maybe they can swap natural enemies to win i guess Hallow will have a mechanical arm attached to him thanks to the high tech or science fiction human world can they magically summon Saitama or just Mob at one point? lol |

I'm obsessed with Mob Psycho and I heard that One Punch Man is good so I gave this a try. One word that comes to mind with this series is "weird." I was SHOCKED to see futuristic mfs with armor and guns showing up. I am actually pretty interested now where this goes. I really like Alio, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl but if it's a boy he's cute and I think him and Hallow should like each other . Just saying! Sucks to hear what happened to some of the other heroes, especially, Abyss, he was the coolest looking one. I'm really interested to see where this goes. Magic stuff reminds me of Black Clover a little. Good start! |

It was lame, weak. It relied too much on those plot twists and neglected the rest. Way too many characters at once as well. ONE could have introduced them later for at least one death to be meaningful to the readers. Otherwise, it's just, "the hero got hurt but I don't care" |
Nov 26, 2022 6:33 PM

So will the main character get his arm back or will he get a fake arm? The art looks similar to Murata's art in OPM. |
HACKs! 🤢🤮 |

ONE's new manga is alright so far. Defeating the demon king, we've seen several of those, but I'm curious to see how it will be interpreted. I do like the humor here with pane especially lol and Hollow still got that spirit in him after many have been subjugated. So there's a past of Hollow and Zaybi (They reunited after 9 years) doing some magic over an apple which was later expressed as something that they didn't summon. Also wtf there are like people from a separate world (It was maybe from Zaybi's ability idk) coming out of nowhere🤣 I do like the unexpected plot twist even if it's too much for a 1st chapter so hopefully in a long run, there can be more expanding towards the worldbuilding. |

Well, not the best start to be honest from One. This definitly feels like a manga that's gonna get carried by the art, but it's from ONE. There should be some interesting turns and twists later in the manga. For now, a simple maincharacter who got his arm sliced off by a Demon King. |

I'm not as pessimist as others about this series. I understand how some people were not happy with the way the characters were presented and disposed at the same time, but it just meant that they were never the focus to begin with. All those 75 pages were paving the way for what we see in the last 2 pages. Let's see how fantasy and sci-fi will work out for it. |

First time reading a manga from ONE, I’ve watched One Punch Man a time ago, but Versus doesn’t even get closer, the art looks nice for a monthly manga, the story was very generic at the start, let’s see how the storyline will progress. |

official japanese version : https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/episode/316190246983387913 i like ONE and his manga-s one punch man and mob psycho 100 . but this is a very bad , lame 1st chapter of versus . 1st , the name is lame . "versus" ? that is it ? how about a more longer and more meaningful name ? this reminds me of the lame names of some trashy manga-s of the trashy mitsuru adachi : nine ? touch ? slow step ? rough ? h2 ? cross game ? q and a ? mix ? page 8 : the real reason for the number 47 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty-seven_r%C5%8Dnin and where is my hero 47 / agent 47 ? lol : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_47 - king : there are 47 demon kings + 1 great demon king + many demon minions = 3254785+ demons , so i will train exactly 47 ugly male heroes because i has fallen in love with the number 47 , i want to marry this number . - yo king , are you stupid ? how about training as much heroes as you can , like 78543598452+ heroes . page 9 : - random ugly hero : it will be a race to see which ugly hero kills his demon king 1st . - no , it will be a race to see which hero gets killed 1st , lol , you over-confident weakling . random board : "41st ugly hero - alicia" . these boards are useless , and the ugly heroes 's numbers are useless , i guess they just blindly , randomly picked their numbers from a lottery box . i want some useful informations , like their ages , genders , rankings , hobbies , magics , specialties , their elementals , ... page 11 : and finally , we see the "main character" , "hallow" . from now on , i will call him "hollow" , lol . hollow 's hair is ugly , and his face is ugly , bland , generic , typical , average , common . and his face is even more uglier when he is nervous , scared , sad or angry . in this chapter , the only cute girl is the healer girl in hollow 's party ? and there is no cute girl among the 47 ugly heroes ? does ONE HATE girls or something ? for example : tatsumaki is the only girl among the s-class heroes in one punch man . page 18 : - the king is very dumb so he sends out these informations : all other 46 heroes are all dead , you are the last hero . i bet this info will give you more higher morale and confidence , lol . do your best . - "abyss" and his "genius squad" are very strong . - "thunder hero abyss" is very strong . - "lightning magical beast gora" is very strong . - my tip for the writer : show , dont tell . page 34 : the cute healer girl is dead instantly ? at the very least , i wanted to see these scenes : she gets gobbed / gets goblined by the goblins , lol . and even the personality of "hollow" is bland and boring . the fairy panepane and the demon king jachi have more interesting personalities . page 49 : zaybi-nii-chan has white hair , but has black eye-brows ? so the mages 's final plan is : summoning another earth to their earth ? how exactly does this work ? summoning an isekai island to their big ocean is possible , but summoning an isekai planet ? and it looks like they didnt research beforehand at all , and just summoned a random isekai planet , and just hoped that the good aliens will be able to help them . what if it is the planet of xenomorph , or of yautja , or of prehistoric , ancient cavemen ? page 67 : - guy with gun : captain , "I have a feeling we are not in Kansas anymore" . it looks like we are on another planet . and some aliens are fighting with some aliens , should we rescue some aliens ? - captain : no , why should we give a damn about them and pick a side ? we will just watch them killing each other , then we will kill the survivors and rob their golds , lol . last pages : - guy with gun : we come from a future world with advanced technology . and you guys are just some prehistoric , ancient cavemen . we are smart and strong . you are stupid and weak . you even need help with the weak demons . and now we want to ask you to help us with a problem that we cant solve . - yo , are you dumb ? we are stupid and weak , so how can we help you ? |

first chapter was fine. admittedly it didn't really grab my interest the way mp100 and opm did in their first chapters, but seeing as this ONE we're talking about, i do have some hope for it to potentially be good like his previous works. i'd still read it with measured expectations unless it Really picks up on the plot or characters down the line. |

Can a 1st chapter not be bad? of course you can, but you talk about the plot and the characters being convoluted, generic and not developed enough among other things without letting the plot play out or the characters and their motivations be fleshed out. how fleshed out to you expect things to be in 1 chapter? |

You can have an opinion on the 1st chapter, but the bulk of your opinion and review is literally "It's not OPM or Mob Psycho 100". Most manga don't give you a good grasp on the main character from the first chapter, the only way that'd be a negative is if you were specifically expecting another OPM and Mob Psycho 100. Also, saying OPM and Mob Psycho 100 took it's time while then lambasting this one for not immediately giving you the entire rundown on the main character, do you not see the contradiction there? It's not like I rated it that much higher than you, to me this first chapter is a 6/10 since it's all over the place, and I also don't really care all that much for the MC, but I sure as shit am not using the author's previous works as my basis, that's not giving the series a fair shake. |

I was comparing the way mob psycho and opm took its time introducing characters properly instead of bombarding us with shallow characters and events like Versus does. The 80 page chapter could have worked well if it just focused on the main character. That doesn't contradict anything. Also most manga don't have an 80 page first chapter. I used opm and mob psycho as a comparison as it shows what ONE can do which I think is fair to point out. |

I loved everything, the demons, the way everyone lost and the summoning buildup at the end... But the end itself... I'm really note a fan of this kind of gun fiction with futuristic warriors being a main focus in the series. It was a 9/10 for me, but that end turned it into a 7.5 at best. I will continue reading it, but doubt it will get better. (Strongly hope so tho) |
