However, after reading it more carefully one cannot fail to realize that it’s far from being just a conventional manga.  It does stand out like a sore thumb. One-Punch Man is for those who are sick and tired of all-brawn-and-no-brain heroes, trite life lessons and predictable events.

In addition, everybody who is dead keen on manga and anime will find in One-Punch Man something that fits his personal needs and beliefs.
