Onepunchman, the story of the great hero Saitama, an unemployed guy who found his career in being a superhero, after training for three years he achieved great power, sadly for him, he manages to destroy any enemy in just one punch, rending him bored and empty.

Story: Simple and direct action manga, overpowered Hero fights enemies, but he's attitude while doing it compliments so much the comedy.

Art: Murata Yusuke, amazing artist who worked in a lot of big names before, he's clear trace makes every page enjoyable, great detail in the images and clarity for understanding what exactly is happening in each page.

At first glance, Onepunch-Man looks like a typical action manga. But look into it just a little more, and you’ll discover just how different it is.

For one, the main character is the ‘caped baldy’ known as Saitama. His appearance is somewhat bland, but there’s a reason: He’s so strong that all his hair fell out. How strong? Well, he ends all his fights with one punch (hence the manga’s name). He’s presumably a parody of all those overpowered protagonists you see in anime and manga, but his uninterested personality is quite unique for an action hero.

Fantastic piece of work made by two incredible people.

Story (9) - OPM breaks the typical hero manga pattern even though it's all about heroes. It isn't just about saving the world while saving the girl and beating the poop-head that wants to kill everybody. No. It's about how funny and exciting it could be to save the world as a hobby. Everything's over the top and does't shy away from anything. There's not much plot, but definitely has the potential to develop one. Overall, it's the type of story that's just honestly entertaining and keeps you at the edge of your seat. Excellent.

Story: 10, very original story about a superhero who is so powerful he's nearly a god. Really reminds me of playing any video game where it's just way too easy and not challenging, or other cliché manga characters that quote "yes... I've been waiting for a challenge for years, finally someone to fight". Each arc makes me feel like "holy shit maybe this time Saitama will get a challenge", but at the end it's always a disappointment, thus I feel the deep connection with Saitama. I feel the same alongside him. My feels.

If there’s one thing to say for sure this manga certainly lives up to it’s title of “One Punch Man”, but not in a good way. One punch man is all hype, no substance. I’ll explain in more detail later on.

Plot (5/10):
The premise is about a hero named Saitama, who’s trained and become so strong, he defeats all his fights in one punch. As a result of this, he’s bored and longs for a decent challenge. The plot isn’t deep or complex. The story basically revolves around this one joke: Saitama wins every fight in one punch, everything else might as well be padding ...

One Punch Man is a superhero comic, a genre I've never really got on with. Thankfully One Punch Man falls into that category of superhero comic that fully realises how silly the whole superhero idea is. It tells the story of Saitama, a man who trained so hard at becoming a superhero that he became really strong. So strong that he ends every single fight in a single punch.

The central joke to One Punch Man is that Saitama is so powerful that he's bored. Nothing poses a threat to him anymore so he just sort of wanders through life in a mild unimpressed sulk. He ... shows up on the scene of the crime a little bit late because sure what's the rush anyway, listens to the villain blabber on about how they are the strongest for a bit, before eventually getting tired of that and punching them through the nearest wall.

Just having Saitama show up and punch dudes in the face would get old pretty quickly. What makes it click as a joke is how unassuming he is. His superpower didn't come from magical beings or being rich or anything. He just did lots of push-ups and sit-ups. He's a bit of a loser really. His superhero costume is a yellow jumpsuit and red kitchen gloves. He looks like a man play-acting superhero, which is kind of what he is doing. Plus he just looks silly, with his blank bored expression and bald head, which is why it's just inherently funny to see him surprise these superpowered hyper-evolved beings with that big dopey face of his and immense strength.

That's...sort of it. For something that has been getting as much praise heaped on it as One Punch Man has, I'm surprised at how little there was to it. It feels like a Saturday morning kids cartoon, having more in common with Powerpuff Girls than anything else. Not a bad thing, but still rather shallow and hard to get invested in. It's difficult to care about anything that happens when there's no tension. Because Saitama is so ridiculously overpowered, none of the fights have any doubt about what the final result will be. The author tried to introduce some challenge for Saitama to overcome by introducing the superhero levelling system, but Saitama is so lackadaisical about life that if he can't bring himself to really care about events, then neither can I.

There's only 3 volumes out at time of writing, but you'll breeze through that in barely more than an hour. There's very little dialogue and most of the jokes are visual anyway. The artwork is pretty great. The over-designed villains and other superheroes fit with the theme the story is going for. Everyone else looks like majestic beings of frightening power and destruction, while Saitama just looks like some prat in his pajamas. But it does have a tendency to get repetitive. Yes it was hilarious the first time 10 pages in a row were double spreads of the camera swooping around Saitama as his enemy encircled him. But repeat that once every few chapters and it loses its effect. There was one chapter that consisted almost entirely of the cyborg character doing a transformation sequence on his arm to unleash its super charger laser. I appreciate the sentiment of over-dramatising what everyone does, but it loses its effect when you do it too often.

One Punch Man is very easy to like, but its shallowness and speed at which you'll fly through it makes it feel like real throwaway entertainment. The only thing that really stuck with me is the burning question of what would happen in Saitama punched himself in the face.

Recommendations: read a good superhero comic. watch a good superhero cartoon. watch a good superhero movie, animated or live action.

This series started as a comedic/parody manga adaptation of a comedic/parody webcomic. As it goes on, the series has become much much longer than it ever needed to be. One Punch man is right now a full on battle shonen with all the cliche associated with it. It has an overpowered protagonist, lots of bullshit power ups, villain groups, tournaments, long dragged out fights and more.
It's comedy has completely run stale and telling the same joke over and over isn't funny.

The artwork and story is so amazing, Garou is becoming one of my all time favorite characters. The work that Murata put into his artwork is crazy. So much detail. Normally loli characters are my type but Tatsumaki is amazing.

I really enjoy reading this manga so much I wanna talk to people and share my experience with them. This is gonna sound super stupid but I have a discord where I wanna discus manga and anime with people and make videos out of it. I legit have few anime friends and the few I do have aren't into enough to make this work.

Ah, that feeling of boredom eating away at you when you have godlike stats in your game. Or just passing any test in school with no sweat. That's what Saitama, our protagonist in this action shounen manga, similarly felt when all of his enemies, big or small, fast or slow, all fall down, or worse dissipate into thin air, with one punch. Yes, 1 punch is all it takes, and thus the title of this manga. Worse of all, he is being underestimated because of his mundane looks and attire, like some crappy '80s superhero in tights. It doesn't even help that he joins an ... organization of heroes who look down on him too. And thus we follow his story of looking for his best contender in the whole universe!

At first one may be put off with Saitama's character design because of his looks, to some it may be enough to detract themselves from reading this manga, and his looks greatly contrasts with his newfound sidekick Genos, a white-haired bishie cyborg with equipment that can rival Iron Man's who wants to be trained under Saitama's tutelage, as well as other heroes and villains who have way too cool designs and gadgets with them. But this is okay, because it is compensated by the great variety of designs, and even the details of their hands are different.

As for the characters themselves, you can't help but feel for Saitama, who even though strong, is left with a boring superhero life. Genos' development is such that he realizes his cyborg body may not be enough to defeat all those who stand in his way, and thus he strives to improve himself as Saitama's sidekick, much to the master's chagrin. Villains though are cliched, and are rather made to prove that Saitama overpowers them in a match. Even so, their interactions with each other are hilarious, especially when Saitama knocks them out.

All in all, the enjoyment factor is very high for a shounen manga, and albeit the battle scenes are quite short when Saitama enters the fray, the panels are very detailed to the point that one panel of their movement encompasses one page. Which brings us to what I think is a minor problem here. I don't know if this is one of the mangaka's quirks but detailing one page with only one movement frame of the character could slow down the pace of the manga indeed, in fact in one scene it took 2 chapters to finish one villain, and with one punch too. Nevertheless, if this is intended by the mangaka, I think it is really original for such a medium.

Anyway, if you're into action shounen, then Saitama's antics will make your day complete! Not to mention sympathizing with him when he feels down as his day comes to an end knowing he didn't met yet his rightful rival.

Damn, what it could have been. If it was the webcomic we were talking, I would have probably given it a 8 or even 9.

TLDR : The manga kinda lost itself and became a simple shonen instead of a parody of shonen. Some fights are drawn out and dont feel like much is happening. The pacing is slower and events are overall drawn out, this gives less impactful and emotional scenes. Some informations are very unsubtle, it almost gives us no room for thinking and interpretation, which gives us a story with less depth unfortunatly. It just became a simple shonen for casual anime fans ... (not necessarily bad but quite far from its origins).

/!\ SPOILERS /!\ (review not finished, might update it)
However, we are talking about the manga and compared to his counterpart, he leaves a lot to be desired. This will mainly be talking about the Monster Association Arc, since it has taken such a long time to develop it (atleast in the manga). We have to aknowledge first that they are a lot of differences between the 2. The first is that there is a lot of added content, and I mean a lot. The martial art tournament is one example, and a good example of almost useless new arc and borderline boring. Since this tournament have a lot of new characters, it is quite uninteresting to watch because we already know that saitama wont loose and because the new characters are only briefly introduced, we don't really care for them nor root for one. This gives us a dried out tournament with almost not interest to give in. Furthermore, it almost is totally useless, only used to have an excuse for saitama to be busy while the monsters are rampaging and to introduce a certain character.

One problem that I already said is a lot of new content (not necessarily bad), but a lot of it is useless/doesn't bring anything to the table, such as the many variations of monster Centipede, the elongated battle of Psycho vs Tatsumaki, the lot of meaningless drawn out battles, ... This impacts a lot the impression of the fights left on us. The pacing feel slow, fights drawn out, which could be interpreted as a parody of the shonen genre, but even though the pacing is slower, you still dont feel that much is happening. The new added content doesn't feel like it helps necessarily the plot, sometimes even acting against it. Garou in the webcomic seems cold hearted, concise but overall he doesn't necessarily seem like he could be a good guy in the inside. After the fight, Saitama is the one making us realise how actually Garou isn't as much evil as we were lead to think at first. However, in the manga, there isn't a lot to think about. Since the start, Garou doesn't feel like much of an evil guy, much of a monster. He feels as just an asshole,the manga is very on point since the start on what Garou is. It doesn't leave much to think about.

With the art improvement, comes the failure of the jokes. A lot of the jokes fall way more flat to me personally at least than in the webcomic. This leads to point out that the webcomic which I could easily categorize as a parody of shonen. For the manga, I couldn't categorize as easily as a parody. It feels more like a generic shonen (with great art and choreographed fights tho). However, even as a simple shonen, Murata could have profited of the better pacing, suspense and building of One's webcomic.

Also, I'm sick of re-draws. Murata literality invented manga-filler. Also, his drawings getting a bit sloppier still much better than the average monthly series but not as once he did.

ONE PUNCH MAN REVIEW [English no first language]
One punch man. The anti-history of an anti-hero. The destruction of the classic shonen structure (and much more!). Saitama ... legendary! Everything was born as WebManga in 2009 by ONE that with his drawings and his writing manages in a short time to make his work exceed 50 million visits. Subsequently, the manga is redesigned by one of the greatest Japanese designers of recent times, Yusuke Murata, allowing the work to lead to the Young Jump Web Comics site, literally depopulating in Japan and then in the rest of the world.
The protagonist is (at least for the first ... part of the comic) a 25-year-old boy named Saitama who, after losing his job, decides to pursue the dream he had as a child, that of becoming a hero capable of defeating monsters and calamities. that afflict the world of comics. At this point, a hard training will follow, so heavy for him to lead him to become bald from the effort, but to overcome, with the simple willpower of an ordinary man, the limits of the human being. This is how the birth of the strongest hero in history takes place, the one who is able to defeat any enemy with a single punch. However, this force will cause him to enter a state of perennial apathy, due to the lack of opponents worthy of facing him and to a society that does not recognize him as a hero.
In this way, the manga develops going to ridicule the typical aspects of the action manga by no means covertly, destroying every canonical shonen cliché, which perhaps requires both physical and psychological training of the protagonist, in step with the evolution of the plot. Saitama doesn't need any of that. He just trained like anyone else in the world could, but with the willpower needed to push his limits. The design is also in stark contrast to that of the protagonists of the battle shonen, who often sport recognizable and iconic hair.
But while the first part of the manga describes Saitama in all its complexity, focusing on his psychology and destructive force, the second part takes the work, already so extraordinary, a further step: to the parodic element that we have come to know and to appreciate is joined by a profound social criticism. The superheroes in the reality of ONE are not supermen, but human beings like the others, and therefore subject to corruption and misleading. The hero becomes part of the society towards which he wants recognition in a "harassing" way, because it is not fully needed. The mass is the entity to whom it is up to give judgment, progenitor of heroes and the one who often sinks them, trivially praising those who seem to have a more audacious air and discrediting those who deserve. The Heroes Association exploits the potential of their guinea pigs and judges the heroes on the basis of illusory or prospective votes. These elements throw a superhero comic into the absolute driest, swinging its characters between corruption and heroism. There are few ways: to fall into corruption, or become someone necessary to safeguard humanity (the so-called S-class heroes), or ... do as Saitama, the hero as a hobby! He does not care about the crowd, the society, the awards but he has the strength to face all kinds of obstacles. The canons are destroyed and then embraced again. Saitama, despite becoming the deus ex machina of the series from a certain point on, actually has a goal that he wants to follow, one that would lead him to understand how to become a true hero because, to be one, be strong, even the strongest, it is not enough.
But there would be still another path, which is actually followed by what will later turn out to be, if you like, the real protagonist of the manga: Garou, the hero hunter. Once the true selfish and overwhelming nature of the Heroes Association and its members has been revealed, this new character intervenes, ready to take the reins of situations to overthrow the world that disgusts him, allowing monsters to prevail. At this point, reflections will take place on many issues, for example what is justice, what is evil, what is good and what is to be fought because it is conventionally wrong, and much more. The slap to the Shonen reaches its maximum power right here, when we find ourselves for the first time cheering for the "bad", for the "monster" through which ONE has come to the genesis of the concepts of "evil" and "good", putting them in discussion and creating one of the greatest manga of recent years.

By the time I was about halfway done reading chapter 2, I already knew that there was no way for this not to end up being my favorite manga. I have read all of or part of at least 1000-1200 works. Yeah yeah "so what your opinions are garbage etc." OK, so I am sure we might disagree on some taste, or even a lot of taste, and maybe dropping the amount I read just means I waste my time to you. The only reason I belabor the point is that I knew within less than 2 chapters that this was 100% going to excite ... me more than anything had excited me before.

This manga is a remade, improved version of a comic that was being released on a personal page with much lazier and frankly worse art. The original version already had the merits to stand out on the story, character, and comedy front on its own.

Most comedy works need constant gags or to go ten leaps beyond absurd to work. When you take "Superman" and remake him from an uptight, boring dork obsessed with morality into an amoral, laid back, selfish, very human character, then you do not need to do much more to establish a comedic atmosphere. It helps to have an author who is great at creating a mishmash of weird villains and weird heroes to throw at him over and over though.

The action bits of the story are a bit more cliched. While the superhero constantly powering up is not as much of a feature since he already starts out at max power, the constant level up of enemies is probably going to keep being a driving feature of the manga's action. What keeps it from devolving down into speeches of friendship or repetitive fights is the great feel for creating an incredible variety of monsters...no matter how the story plays out, it is going to be impossible for it not to keep being fun. With the art porn level added to the monsters in this version, they have become even more distinctive. In the original the monsters were mostly funny/quirky, but with the touches added in the remake stand all time with any of the best villains in any work.

Now I talked about the original version, and as of writing this review it is not listed on MAL, so I know that might be confusing. This version is a remake after the great artist working on this contacted the original author to work with him. So you add pornographically amazing art to a work that already has the merit to stand on its own and an incredible sense of fun to it...and well from there you basically get a manga with the most unlimited potential ever.

Stories are more than just art, or being funny, or being "epic". They are usually character driven, and obviously some people may not identify with Superman (Saitama), his robit sidekick, or the "wacky ensemble" of people who constantly come to fight and annoy him, only to later end up sticking to him like glue. All I can say is that the writing is superb, and I think that there is a good job of giving them all personalities. My favorite character from the original has not been introduced yet IIRC (the overpowered psychic's little sister) except for the character art, and I am excited just thinking about how fun she will be in this version.

I am going to close like I opened, with another emotional argument instead of something more reasoned. I never cry, and if any other manga were cancelled for health reasons, I would not even really be sad - stories are beautiful fun, but they are just stories. If this manga had to end before finishing its entire run, I would definitely cry like a fucking baby. I may not have presented enough credible reasons why this is the best, I really wish I could think of more to say, since no manga deserves more gushing praise than this one.

One-Punch Man is just like what the title sounds - A main character who can literally one punch kill everything. Now , what's the fun about an overpowered BALD main character who can defeat gargantuan monsters and meteorites in just a punch ? Everything. One-Punch Man is a series that deviates from the general shounen rule of : New enemy comes out and destroys the main character , leading the main character to train and power up and repeat. This makes it utterly fresh to the eyes and this is not a manga to be taken seriously because of it and the sheer idiocy of ... this made the enjoyment so much better than its peers.

Story : 5/10

The story is pretty linear. One-Punch Man basically revolves around a boy named Saitama who defends cities after cities from evil overbearing monsters aiming for world domination and the sorts. He literally one punches everything and everything would be solved , but this was the problem. He was too overpowered that he had already lost the motivation to fight any more because everything just ends in one punch. But that was not the case forever since the readers are shown his past where he was not yet BALD and looked like an eggplant head , showing that he was actually weak even before the series started and had trained for years just to achieve his power today.

But even so , after defending so many cities , he remained unknown as a hero and a fellow hero , upon seeing his retarded power begged to be his disciple and both of them took on the tests to become official heroes. The storyline is basically like that , sweet and simple with Saitama trying to achieve his well-deserved S-ranked Hero class. There are hardly any plot twists or any sub plots other than this simple storyline which made the storyline suffer just a little bit.

Art : 7/10

One glance at Saitama and you would be wondering , ' What the hell am I watching ? '. It's simply because Saitama is a character that looked as though an elementary school kid could draw easily because of his simple design that could even put One Piece's characters to shame. However, the author had shown that he had purposefully did that to Saitama's character design and it's evident that he could draw masterful pieces of art if you'd compare the other characters , especially the bosses of each arc. The amount of details spent on each bosses are exceptional as they looked as though they were ripped out from Gantz , which is renowned for its high quality drawings that looked realistic compared to its peers.

Character : 4/10

Each character are given a set of personalities but this is really where the series is lacking. Although there are several characters introduced throughout the series , one could not help but think that these characters were merely introduced just so that they can hype up the arc's boss - in other words , flaunting of it's power before Saitama one punches it like usual. So far of most characters that had been introduced , most of them fall under this category sadly to say and Saitama's disciple , Genos , which is arguably the series' second main character is not spared from this.

However with that said, not all characters are just fodder-type material as although Genos fall under the category as stated above , he was given ample character development and serve well as the secondary character because Saitama is usually absent until he decides to show up just to deliver the final blow and the humour of Genos taking the credit because of the civilians watching their fight is overused , yet it's still funny to see Saitama being irked and pissed about it.

Enjoyment : 9/10

This is where the series truly shines because it's original and gives the readers a break from the usual shounen power ups as stated in the introductory paragraph. The story is predictable and yes , Saitama would just one hit everything but it's extremely enjoyable to see him being distressed about his own power. And the back story given of why Saitama lost all of his hair and became a bald eggplant was hilarious and his superbly simple design would probably paint a smile on one's face. The series is clichéd beyond hope but for some reason , the readers are able to enjoy it and it's something that cannot be described through words but rather only could be explained by reading it.

Overall : 7/10

I originally wanted to give this series a 6 out of 10 but I simply had to add one point because of the sheer enjoyment I had through reading it. I would definitely recommend this series to people who are tired of seeing convenient power ups from other popular shounen series because the concept of an overpowered main protagonist that is distressed because of his own power is fresh.
