Goodreads Synopsis:
Life gets pretty boring when you beat the snot out of every villain with just one punch.
Nothing about Saitama passes the eyeball test when it comes to superheroes, from his lifeless expression to his bald head to his unimpressive physique. However, this average-looking guy has a not-so-average problem—he just can’t seem to find an opponent strong enough to take on!

Review:
I really wish that I was keeping up with this series. I know I would
really like it, but I just haven't had the time, and I'm quickly
falling behind.
I've missed a couple of volumes, and suddenly there's a huge monster
attacking a city, with several other powerful villains/demons
attacking throughout the city, and heroes are trying and
not-quite-succeeding at defeating them. Meanwhile, Saitama is entered
into a hero competition, under a different name and wearing an afro.
We get a lot of fighting from random villains and heroes all over the
city, in between scenes of the competition. It's a little all over
the place, but that might be because I haven't been following it and
I don't know who any of them are.
The hero competition has only just begun in the second half of the
volume, but I must confess—seeing Saitama defeat a guy who
underestimated him with only a face slap was extremely satisfying. I
really want to see more of that, honestly. They needed to include at least one of those moments in this volume.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
