One Punch Man is a series about a man named Saitama who can defeat any opponent with a single blow. Sounds boring right? Wrong.
What makes this series so good is less the titular One Punch Man himself and more the characters surrounding him. This series is chock full of memorable heroes and villains, each with their own unique quirks, appearance and powers. This works in that since our main character is so overpowered, we get to see some pretty well drawn battles with these characters before Saitama comes and ends it, keeping the series action packed.
Another high point to the series is the artwork. The art is crisp and clear, with it's biggest point being the scale. The drawings give you a very clear idea on how big something is compared to the other characters. The jokes in the series are also really top notch, as Saitama's immense strength and invincibility are used just as often for laughs as they are for awesomeness.
Overall, the series is a really fun read. It may sound like it'll be bad, with thoughts of "Come on, a guy winning with one punch? Where's the drama, where's the action?" And honestly, that's what I thought as well. But after sitting down and reading a few chapters, I found myself enjoying the characters, jokes, action, and especially the wonderful artwork. Despite it's demographic being Seinen, if you love typical Shonen stuff like Toriko, One Piece or Ruroni Kenshin, this is a manga that will feel right at home for you.
Crazy? Awesome? Crazy Awesome? D. All of the above
