There are more an Volume 1 of One-punch Man is unbelievably funny and refreshing, if you wanted some good laugh, go for it! And after 3 years of tough training.he trained himself into having superhuman power at the age of 25 (he's later called the One-punch Man because he can defeat super-villains with one single punch).but during the progress, he also lost all of his hair. Volume 1 of One-punch Man is unbelievably funny and refreshing, if you wanted some good laugh, go for it! Our main character is a Japanese young man whose hobby/wish/dream is.to become a superhero in order to defeat bad guys. The concept would be fine for a one-off joke strip in an anthology - the first chapter is clever, funny, entertaining and feels fresh - but as a series? I’m amazed they even got one full book out of it, let alone an entire series! And after this first volume, I can’t say I’m at all interested in seeing how One Punch-Man develops in later books, if indeed it does! Yusuke Murata’s art is fine if indistinct and generic, like most Shonen Jump manga, but One’s script is very lacking. All that happens is that a villain is introduced only to be punched once - repeat ad infinitum! It’s a single gag/observation and that’s all this comic’s got! One tries introducing a mosquito villain which makes it hard for One Punch-Man to defeat because there’s so many mosquitoes, and a cyborg becomes our hero’s apprentice, but no semblance of a story emerges by the end of this first volume. But once we’re past the amusing first chapter there’s nowhere to go. Why? The Earth is a living organism, humans are germs, and he’s the vaccine - he actually says that! And then One Punch-Man punches him once and it’s over.Ĭlearly it’s meant to be over-the-top silly, post-modern and satirical. Then One Punch-Man arrives - he’s a hero for fun, that’s his whole origin! - so the villain can announce that he’s Vaccine-Man. The pretentiously-named writer “One” immediately sets the tongue-in-cheek tone right from the start: a Piccolo-lookalike begins destroying “City A” but stops in front of a crying schoolchild literally labelled “School Child”. It’s also intended to be that stupid because it’s a parody of martial arts manga like Dragon Ball, etc. Then One Punch-Man arrives - he’s a hero for fun, that’s his whole origin! - so the villain One Punch-Man is about a superhero who can, yes, defeat enemies with one punch. One Punch-Man is about a superhero who can, yes, defeat enemies with one punch. I don't normally rate and review mangas because like I said, I haven't read one in years, but hopefully this series would make me want to read mangas/watch anime again.more One of my favorite mangas ever (so far), and I will be watching the anime next week so hopefully that would be as awesome as the manga. It's 10 volumes strong right now though, so that seems like a good sign so far.Ĥ.5/5 stars. I don't see a real plot behind it, so the style might die out for me in the future. The only thing that I'm worried about is the fact that it's so senseless and fun that my excitement of the series might die out real soon. Most mangas I've read before needed a bit more push to be read, but this one worked its way with no problems. One-Punch Man is straight out action and craziness. I typically don't like ones with a lot of backstory and drama, but a little of those won't make me hate the series. I like anime/mangas with a lot of action. ![]() The one chapter plan didn't work because I ended up finishing the first volume despite having a huge Hematology exam tomorrow. People are begging me to watch it, but it's my exam week so I decided to read a chapter of the manga instead. Nothing really enticed me enough to pick one up, but as everyone knows, One-Punch Man has been receiving a huge amount of buzz these past few weeks. It's been years since I last read a manga. The series is that addicting! I like anime/mangas with a lot of action.
