One-Punch Man, Vol. 1

Product Information

Saitama himself is the most interesting take on the “Superman” archetype that I can recall. Shame, then, that he’s often left to run around in pointless side-plots or just be missing entirely until its his time to show up and deal with the threat du jour.

Saitama and Genos join the Hero Association, hoping to attain notability, but Genos instantly obtains an S-Class rank; meanwhile, due to scoring low on the written exam despite having a perfect score on the physical exam, Saitama only becomes a C-Class hero. His feats remain unnoticed even after saving people from an asteroid and then a sea monster, barely getting himself promoted to B-Class. Later, shortly before her death, the seer Shibabawa predicts that the world is in great danger as the alien Boros invades the planet. The heroes kill the invaders and destroy Boros's ship as Saitama defeats Boros in single combat.
