Staff Picks (August): One-Punch Man Volume 1 GN

One-Punch Man follows the life of Superhero Saitama who is faced with a unique dilemma. No matter the intellectual capacity, scheme, or sheer strength of Saitama's foes, they all are flattened by a single punch! Average-joe Saitama steamrolls villains into the ash pile of obscurity, while his cyborg disciple Genos struggles to survive every hostile encounter despite having many advantages. The allure of One-Punch is found when the passion, resolve, and motivation lost in Saitama is found raging in Genos. Written by One and illustrated by Yusuke Murata, One-Punch Man is a must read peculiar manga that has grown an enormous fan base!
