One Punch Man - An Introduction
One Punch Man is a manga written by ONE. ONE is a manga artist from Niigata. One Punch Man started as a comic shared on the website Shinchosha in 2009. It was printed as a manga with new drawings in June 2012 and an anime version was shown in October 2015.
One Punch Man is a super-strong hero. He looks quite young and skinny but has no hair. After losing a fight with a crab-like monster, Saitama (One Punch Man's real name) started training. He does 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and runs 10km every day. This has given him his super-strong abilities. He can destroy almost any enemy with a single punch!
This is very different to most storylines. Usually the character has to work to overcome difficult situations or defeat stronger enemies. But Saitama can defeat even the strongest bad guys with just a single punch.
This makes One Punch Man quite a unique anime/manga and very funny.
