Having an Overwhelming Power is boring as hell

What happens when someone trains so hard they can defeat anyone in a single punch? OPM is an interesting answer to such a question. Saitama does an insane training regiment and becomes OP as fuck, becoming almost emotionally numb in the process. Ever tried making your own OC who can do anything or say use cheats in a multiplayer game only to realize it feels boring and pointless? It's kinda like that. There are series with OP protagonists but still have human emotions, OPM stands out where the protagonist actually feels hollow after achieving great power, starting to question himself. There's tons of gag/comedic elements but that doesn't get in the way.

The art is very simple but works great. ONE knows how to utilize panels effectively. You can see his art improve slowly as you read. Besides you don't need great art to do storytelling, which ONE excels at.

Saitama is a guy who is a hero for fun, it's a hobby for him, unlike other hero stories. Nothing more nothing less. In fact he was only focused on doing that he didn't realize there's a Hero Association. The heroes and villains he meets are quite interesting with great backstories. From petty assholes to great heroes. The hero association is full of them. Saitama ends up having a great impact on them with his simple & honest actions. There's also absolute creeps like Puri-Puri prisoner whom you definitely don't wanna meet lol.

The series is on hiatus for long periods of time but in my opinion it is still worth catching up. I understand the author is working on different series at the moment.

As for the manga drawn by Murata, I don't recommend it. It has great art yes but it starts to fail at storytelling later in the story, drags out too much, making terrible changes to the source material that don't make sense and too many chapter re-draws. If you're okay with that then that's fine. I don't think ONE is hands-on with the series as much as fans like to believe.

Even though it had a great start and was original at the time, only 2 chapters after a year is too disappointing. I quite dislike how the manga/anime adaptations have developed and they've made me lose hope for this one.

Edit: after so much wait the last chapter was terrible. I guess helping in the adaptations took a toll on the author. There'll probably be more interesting scenes with the side characters but their POVs are too frequent. The story has deviated too much he should stop branching and making cross references to the manga. I feel as if the author should take a break reread the web comic and then change the latest chapters. Most of the scenes are overthought and the MC is used as comic relief at inappropriate moments.

Edit ch 144: well at last some advances. I was getting tired of all the new characters ... I hope Saitama gets some scenes in the next chapter.

Onepunch Man Storyboards.

This series feels like it takes place in the exact same universe as Tiger & Bunny. Both are set around a world where super heroes are celebrities & their careers are a popularity contest. The biggest differences, aside from Tiger & Bunny not being a comedy, is that T&B focuses heavily on sponsorship & television, while Onepunch Man spends a great deal of time mocking the hubris of the heroes & monsters, & the entitlement & blind optimism of the citizens in a world where the only character with two brain cells to rub together is a 10 year old child.

I'm nearly convinced that One speed-draws this way intentionally to give it the look of a child-drawn comic for comedic value, but sometimes he uses enough detail that exposes that he's far more capable at art than he lets on, & his art improves over time, just nowhere near Yuusuke Murata's level.

This webcomic collection serves as a storyboard for Murata to work off of in the manga, as well as provide fans with years of spoilers of things to come.

It's not exactly scene-for-scene, as One may change, add, & drop things from this book for the remake.

With the sorry state Marvel & DC have been in for the past 5 years, I think it's safe to say that Japan is the future of super hero comics.
