15 posts | 29 read | 6 to read
A manga series that packs quite the punch! Nothing about Saitama passes the eyeball test when it comes to superheroes, from his lifeless expression to his bald head to his unimpressive physique. However, this average-looking guy has a not-so-average problem he just can t seem to find an opponent strong enough to take on! Every time a promising villain appears, he beats the snot out of em with one punch! Can Saitama finally find an opponent who can go toe-to-toe with him and give his life some meaning? Or is he doomed to a life of superpowered boredom?"

Saitama a determined superhero that fights many monsters without any difficulties. Every monster he fights he defeats with one punch. Because of this he grows bored of his powerful self and desires to find a strong opponent to take on. On his journey to look for a worthy rival he finds a cyborg that wants to be his apprentice and accepts his request.

Thomasg The point of view of this book is omniscient, it is established when the narrator provides insights into the characters characteristics (personality and thoughts) through images 13mo
Thomasg I would recommend this book to the people who like action, adventure, comedy, and shonen 13mo
MissYaremcio Thank you for the review thomas! I would have liked you to specify 3rd person omniscient, but otherwise all good! 5.5/6 13mo

The denotation of One Punch Man is that the main character can do one punch. The connotation (which is almost literally the denotation) is that the main character can defeat an enemy in one punch.

Review of series as a whole to not flood the TL:
Amazing art combined with a surprisingly incredible narrative. Probably the best manga series I‘ve read.

KyllianUvera Too bad it‘s monthly... I want more! The quality is definitely up there though, which most likely has to do with the fact it is monthly. 3y

Everybody is after the secret of Satima's (One Punch Man) power. They want to know what it is that has made him so unstoppable. When he finally tells them his secret (the panel above) they can't believe it. That can't possibly be the only reason he is so strong...can it? Anyone could do that...🤔

I friggen love this #manga! 😍

GrilledCheeseSamurai @Txdmarie Haha. Fair point. Me too. I get tired if the light turns yellow at a pedestrian cross walk and have to run a few steps to avoid traffic. 😂 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @twohectobooks Awesome. The anime is super fun! The first season is pretty darn faithful to the Manga so you are getting a pretty good representation of what One Punch Man is. 👍 6y
Txdmarie @GrilledCheeseSamurai I know right! 😂. I keep in shape by watching Jillian Michaels shred on tv. Then I shred beef for sammies. 6y

ONE is one of the best writers in #manga today; I especially like what he does with Mob Psych 100, though I've only watched the adaptation of that one.

Got a little carried away placing holds. 😅 Sad thing is I'm not done yet, I have a lot of manga and graphic novels I want to catch up on. If you have any recommendations let me know!

It's silly, over the top, tongue in cheek humour is great. I was worried it would be a basic shonen comic, but instead it takes laughs at all those tropes.

It's fun. It's absurd. I love it. Looking forward to reading more.

Overwhelming power may be boring, but this comic sure isn't :)

Real talk: I expected to love this book, given what I've heard...and I didn't? It was fine, I didn't hate it, and the premise was great, but it just didn't click with me.

MelodySchreiber Ahhh interesting! It is on my list... 8y
ScriboGero Very, very popular here in Japan but I haven't read it. 8y
Connie I've watched the anime but haven't read the manga. I recommend watching it unless you didn't like the plot at all 😓 8y
Carol Our graphic novel buyer gave me a heartfelt recommendation last week, which I thought strange given what I know about it & my reading tastes. I may take the plunge to see how it stacks up now that I've heard two different opinions. 8y
