Through his official Twitter account, the author of the web comic One Punch Man, ONE, revealed that all the corrections in the manga adaptation made by Yusuke Murata are not his own. The author ended his message by expressing that the story presented by Murata, "is amazing."
僕の指示や提案だと誤解されてるようですが、一連の修正は全て村田先生のアイデアとネームですよ。村田先生がすごいという話です。— ＯＮＥ (@ONE_rakugaki) June 9, 2020
For its part, ONE has published the webcomic since 2009. However, the work is best known for the adaptation to a manga written and illustrated by Yusuke Murata, which has been published on the Tonari no Young Jump website by the Shueisha publisher since June 2012. The publisher published the twenty-first compilation volume in December 2019.
The play inspired an anime adaptation released in October 2015 and produced by Madhouse Studios. However, the second season was released in April 2019 and the animation studio changed, this time being produced by J.C. Staff. A live-action movie produced in Hollywood is confirmed.
Synopsis for One Punch Man
Saitama seemingly ordinary and unimpressive has a rather unique hobby: being a hero. To pursue his childhood dream, he trained relentlessly for three years and lost all of his hair in the process. Now, Saitama is incredibly powerful, so much so that no enemy can defeat him in battle. It is so powerful that you only need to take a hit to defeat your enemies, because of this you are no longer able to enjoy the thrill of battle and it has become quite boring.
All this changes with the arrival of Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg, who wishes to be Saitama's disciple after seeing what he is capable of. Genos proposes that the two join the Hero Association to become certified heroes who will be recognized for their positive contributions to society, and Saitama, surprised that no one knows who he is, quickly accepts. And so begins the story of One Punch Man, an action comedy that follows an eccentric individual who longs to fight strong enemies that can hopefully give him the thrill he once felt and only perhaps will become popular in the process.
