One-Punch Man #2
| Writer | One |
| Artist | Yusuke Murata |
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! He'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!

Apr 29, 2020The humor continues to be a highlight of this series. At one point, a villain gets to monologuing, and one half page is full of his explanation as to why they want to apprehend Saitama. Saitama's reply is "Your backstory is too long! It has nothing to do with me! Go straight to the point!" And the faithful Genos helps out by saying, "Master is a busy man. Tell your backstory within 20 words!" I was a little saddened to hear of a hero association because this seems like a cheap way to bring in tons of other characters, and not focus on Saitama, but I understand needing to diversify when your main character can win the fight in one move. The artwork is still very detailed, aside from Saitama, who is drawn very simplistically until he engages in heroism. Read Full Review
