I was recently recommended this manga by a friend. And after reading the entire series in one sitting, all I have to say is... WOW

This is definitely one of my new favorites, I can't believe I haven't read it before. It's seriously underrated.

Synopsis:
"Follows the life of an average hero who manages to win all battles with only one punch. This ability seems to frustrate him as he no longer feels the thrill and adrenaline of fighting a tough battle, which leads to him questioning his past desire of being strong."

At first I thought "how can they make this interesting?" But here is how they make it work:

1. The comedy:
This manga is a comedy first and foremost. And it is legitimately funny! None of those over used flat chested jokes that plauge so many "comedy" anime/manga. It's all just so spot on and unexpected.

2. The action:
It's pretty self explanatory. The action is just plain awesome especially when it's combined with...

3. The amazing art:
It's really some of the best art out there, it's really on a whole different level than your average manga.

And the way some of the pages flow together is something I haven't seen before, it has a really unique style. This gif is a few pages combined

4. The main character:
This guy is just plain amazing. He's the strongest out there yet so easygoing and simple. No whining about convictions or feelings or bonds, just a badass doing badass things.

There's really nothing more to say. If you like comedy, action, or appreciate good art, give this one a shot.

I must agree with razinzell. This manga is really funny but the issue is that it has some irregular releases. It is being redrawed because the original manga has really crappy drawing, if I'm not mistaken.

I heard about this manga, the artist really loves to show off, so he's often called a troll :p

But i think he's really talented, chapter 25 is a big example of his talent.

PS: I don't read it, but i heard about it a long time ago.

I can't say anything about the releases since I had the luxury of starting when it had 50 chapters already. And yeah you're right about the redrawing. I read a chapter of the original and it's hilariously bad compared to the new one.

He has the right to, he's great! But I would definitely feel trolled if I waited 2 months for a chapter only to get something like chapter 25 lol.

Saitama > Itachi, he's the true solo king. But honestly an anime wouldn't do the drawings justice, unless it had like movie quality animation.

Go for it!
