His name is Genos, and he’s definitely powerful with his cybernetic weaponry and armour. 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.Įarly on in the series, a cyborg who becomes Saitama’s How strong? Well, he ends all his fights with one punch (hence the manga’s name). His appearance is somewhat bland, but there’s a reason: He’s so strong that all his hair fell out. But look into it just a little more, and you’ll discover just how different it is.įor one, the main character is the ‘caped baldy’ known as Saitama. If you're sick of shitty tropes and garbage plot devices, prepare to see them mocked relentlessy in a setting where the action and characters still manage to dwarf most other battle manga.Īt first glance, Onepunch-Man looks like a typical action manga. Vibrant cast who grew on me faster than most.Įnjoyment-Gotta be 10 man, Onepunch is the biggest breath of fresh air I've had in a while as it stubbornly wages it's one-man war on shonen battle manga. There's Genos, the also extremely badass and super-attractive fangirl bait who possesses a plethora of crazy robotic arm attachments for taking care of the toughest jobs, and a host of other heroes ranging from licenceless rider, a dude on a bike who rides around fighting crime, to guys like Bang and Metal Knight, Also super-OP and awesome. Saitama is our MC and super-OP badass mofo who people don't take seriously cause he's bald and walks around in tights and a cape-you'll probably grow to love him as he makes mountains out of molehills (ie:missing a convenient sale at the shops while killing bad guys) and generally not caring in the slightest about things that seemingly actually matter. This is one of those things that's probably hit or miss depending on your tastes, but I personally LOVE these characters. He generally looks like he's drawn in Microsoft paint, but when he shifts to a serious art syle you know shit is about to go DOWN. Our beloved MC here is the only one who's drawn horribly-but that's part of the joke. Character designs are interesting and extremely detailed, backgrounds are amazing and there are literally bits you can string into a gif image and have yerself a small piece of absurdly fluid (coming from a manga at least) animation. It's just that downright astoundingly nice to look at. Part flows well and has enough bubbling (or violently exploding) away at any one time to keep me interested. It's not gonna blow you out of the water with an extreme level of intricately detailed depth and massive psychological implications, but this is literally one of a TINY number of instances where I couldn't care less if I actually put considerable conscious effort into doing so. Welcome to the glorious anti-stereotypical battle manga, ONEPUNCH M The plot's plastered literally everywhere so let's just go ahead with the usual breakdown thing that seems to be the way to go on mal. You are doing yourself an extreme disservice if you don't sit down and read that Onepunch greatness. Overall :I will recommend this to any fan of superheroes, comedy or action. It's easily inexplicable how the story feels fresh again when the characters feel almost too powerfull (Think how goku would be if he had the level at the end of DB-GT during DB) Genos, sidekick, serious cyborg who thinks he found a teacher in Saitama now follows in the hope of becoming as powerful as him, the characters balance each other quite well (This's been written around chapter 18 surely others will appear later)Įnjoyment: Personally, I have had a great time reading this manga, I look up for each new character and I'm sure a lot of people do too. Story: Simple and direct action manga, overpowered Hero fights enemies, but he's attitude while doing it compliments so much the comedy.Īrt: 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.Īnd protagonist of the story,not finding thrill in battles anymore has left him bored and simple, he lacks any reaction to any enemy/monster/destroyer of worlds, with a smile and a positive attitude he looks for a goal. 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.
