A press release from publisher Shueisha said that
the manga written by ONE and illustrated by Yusuke
Murata , “ One-Punch
Man ,” will enter a two-month suspension as Murata makes
some adjustments and preparations for serialization . Accordingly, the
manga is scheduled to release a new chapter on August 22.
ONE began
publishing the manga independently in 2009, and Yusuke Murata began
publishing it as a manga in Shueisha 's Tonari
no Young Jump service in June 2012. The work inspired a twelve-episode
anime adaptation produced by Madhouse Studios and released in Fall
2015, followed by a twelve-episode second season produced by JCSTAFF Studios and
released in Spring 2019.
One Punch Man Synopsis
Seemingly ordinary and unimpressive
Saitama has a rather unique hobby: being a hero. In order 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. He is so powerful that he only needs to land
one punch to defeat his enemies, because of this he is no longer able to enjoy
the thrill of battle and has become rather boring.
This all changes with the arrival of
Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg, who wishes to be Saitama’s disciple after seeing
what he’s 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, shocked that no one knows who he is, quickly agrees.
And so begins the story of One Punch Man, an action-comedy that follows an
eccentric individual who yearns to fight strong enemies that can hopefully give
him the rush he once felt and just maybe, become popular in the process.
