One-Punch Man's Web Manga Gets Its First Update In 2 Years

There are mangas, and then there are the ones that take the world by storm. For so long, the art style has been trapped in Japan, but things have changed over the years, and now plenty of people across the world have fallen in love with the incredible tales and characters that have been brought to life.

'One-Punch Man' quickly became one of the biggest on the internet, but that doesn't mean people have been given everything they need and more. Instead, the online version of the manga is known to take several breaks, but 'One-Punch Man's web manga finally got its first update in two years, and fans are elated.

This isn't the first time One-Punch Man has taken a lengthy break

ONE, the man behind 'One-Punch Man,' has come a long way since he first released his superhero to the world, but fans have been keen to see an update to the story for almost two years. The last time the web manga was updated was July 5, 2021, but that all changed on May 13, 2023, as we finally got chapter 142. However, fans of the series might be used to having to wait a long time for the next installment. After all, the 'One-Punch Man' web manga was on a two-year hiatus from January 2017 to April 2019 as the internet waited for the release of chapter 110 for a staggering 27 months.

One-Punch Man has been releasing mangas for years

Just because the 'One-Punch Man' web manga has been a slow burner doesn't mean fans have been kept entirely away from the story of One-Punch Man and his antics. In fact, the manga is a retelling of ONE's original web manga, eventually making its way to the website Tonari no Young Jump in 2012. Shueisha, the publishing company behind the web manga, has also been working on several physical copies of the story, with the 27th book hitting shelves on December 2, 2022, and the 28th expected to drop on June 2, 2023.

The manga has since been turned into a successful anime

While the 'One-Punch Man' web manga was where it started for ONE and the franchise, things have come a long way for his unusual superhero. Many wanted to see the man who can bring anyone down with one punch - who would have thought? - come to life in new ways, which is where the original Japanese anime came in 2015. It wasn't long before companies wanted to share the brilliance around the world, with a full English dub coming in July 2016. The second season had fans waiting for years, as it didn't start airing until April 2019, but many knew it would always be worth the wait. Fans of 'One-Punch Man' might be keen to know that the series is far from over, with the third season already confirmed and Sony Pictures allegedly in talks to make a live-action film of the successful series.

'One-Punch Man's web manga has finally gotten an update after two years of waiting, but don't they say you have to wait for good things to come along? It was certainly worth the wait. However, if one thing's for sure, it's that the world can't wait to get even more from their favorite superhero now they've enjoyed another taste.
