Production
ONE began the original webcomic of One-Punch Man in 2009.[5][6] The Japanese shortened name
Wanpanman is a play on the long-running children's character Anpanman,[7] wanpan being a contraction
of wanpanchi ("one punch").[8] ONE became interested in creating a comic superhero who was already the
strongest in the world.[6][9] He wanted to focus on different aspects of storytelling than those normally
relied on in standard superhero stories, such as everyday problems. ONE said: "Punching is oftentimes
pretty useless against life's problems. But inside One-Punch Man's universe, I made Saitama a sort of guy
who was capable of adapting his life to the world that surrounded him, only armed with his immense
power. The only obstacles he faces are mundane things, like running short of money."[9]

ONE has taken several breaks from updating the webcomic. In February 2010, he put the series on hiatus,
deciding to take a one-year break due to family circumstances.[10] After releasing the 109th chapter in
January 2017, ONE took a two-year break, releasing the following chapter in April 2019.[11]

When ONE returned to drawing in 2011, he was contacted by artist Yusuke Murata about a possible
partnership in which Murata would redraw the webcomic for ONE. Murata had been an enormous fan of
One-Punch Man and was ill at the time.[12] Fearing he was going to die, he contacted ONE. Looking back,
he said, "Around that time, I was actually really sick. I broke out in hives, my inner organs were infected,
and I couldn't breathe well with my windpipes [sic] swelling. I was in the hospital when I thought, 'Ah, I
guess people die just like that.' If I'm going to die, I want to do something I really love to do. I want to draw
manga with Mr. ONE. That's what I thought."[12] Murata, already a successful manga artist, used his
connections in the industry to get a publishing deal with Weekly Young Jump comics.[12] The manga
became a digital publication on Weekly Young Jump's spin-off manga website Tonari no Young Jump ( と
なりのヤングジャンプ , Tonari no Yangu Janpu), published by Shueisha.[7][6][13]

Media

Webcomic
The webcomic version of One-Punch Man was created by ONE in 2009.[5] He self-published the series on
the Japanese manga website Nitosha.net. As of August 2021, the webcomic has 141 chapters.[14]

the Furious Fist") by JAM Project, and the closing theme is "Hoshi Yori Saki ni Mitsukete Ageru" ( 星より

and comments within weeks.[59] It received 7.9 million hits by June 2012.[13] According to ONE, by the
time he had written the fifth chapter, he was receiving 30 comments per update. (On Nitosha.net, a series
was considered "popular" if it consistently received at least 30 comments.) The number of comments
gradually increased, and by the time ONE had published the 30th chapter, he was receiving nearly 1000
comments per update.[10][59]

Manga

One-Punch Man was one of the Manga Division's Jury Recommended Works at the 17th and 18th
installments of Japan Media Arts Festival in 2013 and 2014, respectively.[60][61] The series was one of ten
nominated for the seventh annual Manga Taishō Awards in 2014.[62] It was nominated for an Eisner
Award in 2015,[3][63][64] and a Harvey Award in 2016.[65] The manga won the Sugoi Japan Award,[66]
and the Spanish Manga Barcelona award for the seinen category in 2017.[67]
One-Punch Man was the 9th best-selling manga of 2016, with over 3.9 million copies sold.[68] It was the
8th best-selling manga of 2017, with over 3.2 million copies sold.[69] The manga had 2.2 million copies in
print in November 2013. As of July 2017, the manga had 13 million copies in print;[70] by July 2019, this

worldwide.[72]

Once released in the United States, both the first and second volumes debuted on the New York Times
Manga Best Sellers list, in first and second place respectively, and remained there for two weeks.[73]
Volume one dropped to second place for the third week, while volume two fell off the list altogether.[73] In
July 2019, the first volume of the series had been on the list for 71 weeks.[74]

Anime

The first season of the anime received critical acclaim, receiving praise for its uniqueness, animation,
humor, characters and fight scenes. It holds an approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 12
reviews, with the site's critics' consensus reading: "With its state-of-the-art animation, unorthodox hero, and
gut-bustlingly funny jabs at the shounen genre, One-Punch Man is simply a knockout."[75]

The second season received mixed reviews. Although the humor, characters, and story were still praised,
reviewers unanimously criticized the drop in the quality of the animation following the change of studios.
The direction, pacing, and fights were also criticized, as was the last episode for feeling like an improper
season finale.[76] Screen Rant noted that fan reaction to the season was divided, with their response to the
new animation being notably negative.[77][78] They criticized the drop of quality in animation as well as the
change of director, saying "One-Punch Man was previously crisp, detailed and fluid, but many fans claim
that the latest season has felt static, bland and uninspiring. This is almost certainly down to a change in
director. [The series] has gone from the pinnacle of TV anime visuals to looking like just another weekly
series." However, they believed the season "improves in terms of story, character and world-building",
although they mostly attribute this to the original manga rather than the series' crew.[78] They were very
critical of the season finale, noting how the anime could have adapted one or two extra manga chapters to
offer a more conclusive finale and build excitement toward a third season.[77]

IGN gave season 2 a five out of ten rating, calling it "mediocre". Although they felt the humor and
characters were on par with the first season, they were very critical of the animation and pacing, saying: "
[the animation was] taking horrendous shortcuts to get the fights done and dusted in as simple a way as
possible. Gone are the intricately detailed character action shots, with dynamic slow motion and constantly-
shifting camerawork. Instead, we have flashes, cuts to black, and machine-gun punches all reminiscent of
the drawn-out fight scenes of Dragon Ball Z from more than twenty years ago." They concluded saying:
"Season 2 of One-Punch Man is a half-baked jumble of poor and lazy animation that is far more concerned
with staying relevant than being crafted into something worthy of the season that came before it. If you're
only in it for the advancement of the plot, it's all here. But it's also all in the manga, and that looks an awful
lot better than this season."[79]
