ONE PUNCH MAN

One-Punch Man (Japanese: ワンパンマン Hepburn: Wanpanman?) is an ongoing Japanese webcomic created by an author using the pseudonym ONE, which began publication in 2009.[3] The series quickly went viral, surpassing 7.9 million hits in June 2012.[4] The name is a play on the long-running children's character Anpanman, as the word punch (パンチ panchi?) is not usually shortened topan (パン?).[5]

A digital manga remake of the series, illustrated by Yusuke Murata, began publication on Shueisha's Young Jump Web Comicswebsite in 2012.[3] Viz Media has licensed the remake for English serialization in its Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine.[6] In March 2015, it was announced that an anime adaptation had been green-lit[7] and began airing in October 2015.[8][9]
