Life gets pretty boring when you can beat the snot out of any villain with just one 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!
Saitama’s easily taken out a number of monsters, including a crabby creature, a malicious mosquito girl and a muscly meathead. But his humdrum life takes a drastic turn when he meets Genos—a cyborg who wants to uncover the secret behind his strength!
One Punch Man is still going strong! Or should I say, the plot is getting stronger. I don’t think Saitama can get much stronger (and would he even notice if he did? It’s not like he’s been able to really push his abilities). This is such a funny and inane series, but it’s well supported by an actual and interesting plot. That makes it unique and many ways, and absolutely worth the read! The second volume digs a little deeper into the plot, with the fights being longer running events this time around. It gave us a great chance to get to know our characters (in my case, since I already watched the anime, I’m getting to know them all over again, but it still counts).
