About One Punch Man Webcomic
ONE developed the original webcomic manga in early 2009, but Yusuke Murata published a digital remake on Shueisha’s Tonari no Young Jump website in June 2012.
Meanwhile, Viz Media has licensed the remake manga for English language release and had it serialized in its Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine.
As of November 2022, the series has 27 volumes in total. When Chapter 141 was released in July 2021, and ONE announced that they will have a new series, fans assumed the webcomic had ended.
However, creator ONE has never failed to exceed our expectations as they published a new chapter featuring Genos’ power-up and is currently receiving rave reviews from fans.
