The draw of One-Punch Man has always been that it both parodies and epitomizes the superhero manga genre; it delivers solid superhero action with totally ridiculous heroes and villains. It’s easy to imagine that the creative process consists of the writer ONE looking around his studio for everyday objects—a can of pineapple, say, or the dangling string from a light bulb—and handing the idea to Murata, who turns them into superheroes and villains. This year’s manga includes a totally new arena for the two to stretch their creative powers, when the lead character, Saitama, enrolls in a martial arts tournament and a whole new list of characters is introduced. There’s plenty of punching and plenty of laughs in this series, along with a peculiarly sardonic energy that never seems to flag.
