One Punch-Man review

Originally written by ONE and published on his website, OPM is now fabulously drawn and adapted by Murata Yuusuke. This noticeably remained a web manga, allowing the artist more liberties.

This manga is outstanding thanks to its main character, Saitama, an average looking guy whose hobby is to be a superhero. OPM is a brilliant comedy that uses well known tropes to its advantage, surprising and amusing its readers easily.

Story: 8
The plot isn't the strength of this series, but that is not what is expected of a fighting manga. However it does play with its characters expertly, knowing how to make best use of them. Great storytelling in this manga looks like child's play and it is hilarious most of the time.

Art: 10
If you haven't seen Murata's work in Eyeshield 21, let me tell you, this is a treat to the eyes. His work is detailed and distinctive. He also included animation frames he drew for some fighting sequences that the upcoming animation team will have a hard time surpassing.

Characters: 10
Cornerstones of this manga, the characters are mostly hilarious parodies of the action genre. The whole fun of this is how the main character contrasts with the rest of them. While being a totally average looking nobody, his personnality and position in this whole mess makes him stand out, for our greatest enjoyment.
The only regret we can have is the obvious lack of female characters (2 so far and they are sisters).

Enjoyment: 10
A refreshing manga full of good ideas and characters, something that will stand out and surprise you if you read too much of the same typical shounen stories.

Overall: 9
Need I say more? Great!
