Still funny as the first 2 however, the plot is finally revealing itself in this volume. The art is still amazing and the fights are drawn with such detail especially the Saitama and Genos fight.There is a lot of bonus material this volume, which is still enjoyable. We get a little backstory on Saitama--you can't help but route and like this character even though he always defeats his oppenents. I still wonder how ONE does it...how he made a extremely overpowered character so likeable because I tend to hate those types of characters. Every side character is wonderful and my favorite villain of the series, Sonic (who is a male, by the way) is on the cover.Great and I can't wait to get Vol. 4.

Saitama is truly enlightened. He is the only real hero in the mangaSaitama does not let his great power build an ego or get to his head. He does not chase vanity or material gains.The apartment is small and simple in a part of town that has been abandoned. Saitama could get a much larger apartment, especially in the abandoned area where he could make an entire building his headquarters, but instead he chooses simplicity and humility.He never seeks adoration choosing instead simple pleasures like watering plants and chasing bargains at the supermarket.This is power at its most complete. A humility and respect for the power and responsibility to protect city z while at the same time avoiding the trappings of power and idolatry.Look how he responds to people attacking him by understanding their motives before they attack. This shows an enormous level of psychic power.Even the less than heroic heroes seeking ranks and levels while chasing vanity fall to Saitama without much effort. Other heroes are concerned about their rankings and groups.Saitama defends the city against creatures from the planet who believe that humans have wasted the resources and seek revenge among others. The villains are so focused on power and destruction they cannot defend themselves against a person with true power.Go back to the fight with Carnage Kabuto when he jumped away. Carnage Kabuto knew that if he made that move he would have been killed yet he could not comprehend how a being could leave himself so wide open.Even when Carnage Kabuto strikes Saitama he is more concerned with missing bargain day at the supermarket.That is true power and enlightenment. The power to understand and control his power yet remain humble at the same time.It is this humility that allows him to be so strong and dodge most attacks with ease while defending city z.There are so many levels here. Even the artwork has Saitama drawn in a very basic and simplistic form showing his simple life and humility.

No sorts of damage at all.

Grandson loved the book.

In this hilarious third installment, you follow Saitama and Genos as they attempt to join The Heroes' Association. As usual, the pair have many zany adventures, amazing battle sequences, and the reappearance of an old foe. The volume I purchased was in excellent condition, and I got it for a good price. My volume also included bonus manga.

lol honestly this book is too good and very fun to read if your reviewing the third book you probably have the first 2 and also you got good taste

Amazing volume of One Punch Man it has one of the most iconic fights! Definitely recommend lots of character development and character expanding
