ONE-PUNCH MAN

One-Punch Man (Japanese: ワンパンマン, Hepburn: Wanpanman) is a Japanese superhero manga series created by One.

One wrote the original webcomic manga version in early 2009.

One-Punch Man: The Epic Story of a Superhero Who Can Defeat Any Enemy with Just One Punch

One-Punch Man is a Japanese superhero action-comedy manga and anime series created by the artist ONE. The story follows Saitama, a young man who trained so hard that he became incredibly powerful, able to defeat any enemy with just one punch. While Saitama is initially bored by his own strength, he eventually finds purpose as a superhero, fighting alongside his disciple Genos to protect the city from powerful monsters and villains.

The series began as a webcomic in 2009, self-published by ONE. Due to its popularity, it was later picked up by Shueisha and serialized in the manga magazine Tonari no Young Jump, with Yusuke Murata providing the artwork. The manga has since been adapted into an anime television series, produced by Madhouse and J.C. Staff, as well as an original animation DVD and video games.

One-Punch Man has become a cultural phenomenon, praised for its unique blend of action

, comedy, and satire. The series has been lauded for its stunning animation, epic battles, and its ability to subvert superhero tropes. The character of Saitama has become an icon, inspiring countless memes and fan art, and even inspiring some fans to start working out in hopes of becoming as powerful as him.

One of the key elements that sets One-Punch Man apart from other superhero stories is its focus on parody and satire. The series pokes fun at the conventions of the superhero genre, from the dramatic monologues of villains to the absurdly convoluted plans of evil organizations. It also subverts the idea of a traditional hero, as Saitama is often portrayed as lazy and uninterested in fame or glory.

Despite its comedic tone, One-Punch Man is not afraid to delve into serious themes. The series explores ideas of power, identity, and purpose, as Saitama grapples with the implications of his own strength and the responsibilities that come with being a hero. The series also touches on topics such as loss, trauma, and the nature of evil, adding depth and nuance to its characters and storylines.

One-Punch Man has become a global sensation, with fans from all over the world drawn to its unique blend of humor, action, and heart. Whether you are a longtime fan of the series or are just discovering it for the first time, there is something in One-Punch Man for everyone.

Its chapters are periodically compiled and published into individual tankōbon volumes. As of November 2022, 27 volumes have been released. In North America, Viz Media has licensed the remake manga for English language release and has serialized it in its Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine.
