Goodreads Synopsis:
Life gets pretty boring when you can beat the snot out of any 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:
The monster association have proven to be smart enough to band
together to fight the heroes, and now seem to be demanding their own
rights and place to live. The heroes don't like this and don't quite
know how to win against them. But then again, maybe the monsters
don't actually want to live equally either?
During all of this political debate and fighting, Saitama and King
have formed a friendship. We know King has taken all of Saitama's
fame, though we discover that might be a good thing simply for the
level of heroism in the world. Saitama feels so powerful he now feels
empty inside and doesn't know what to live for. King gives some
interesting insight into his situation, though I don't think it
really consoles Saitama any.
I've only read a few volumes of this series, here and there, but I enjoy
it. Saitama's struggle is understanding, though a bit hard to feel
sympathy for during all this war. It's interesting to see all the
politics and war happening around him, though, especially when so
little of it ever reaches him.
