One-Punch Man, Vol. 23 Paperback – October 5, 2021

No eighty-page fights this time. We get to see what's happening with a greater number of the heroes who have ventured underground, and about time, too! Atomic Samurai's three disciples and the rescued mercenaries are trying to make their way back out of the maze, despite some friction between the two groups. (And a character I thought was female turns out to be male, gay, and a cross-dresser. Well, who can catch every little detail!?) Atomic Samurai himself handily disposes of a couple of formidable opponents, but runs into difficulty when he encounters the small, but powerful and endlessly multiplying, Black Spermatozoan. One-Punch Man sees Child Emperor and the rescued hostage Waganma safely to the surface -- of course he gets no credit or thanks, and Child Emperor thinks HE rescued ONE-PUNCH -- and is on his way back down to where the action is. Zombieman's next battle is with Homeless Emperor, and the unkillable one looks to be in a serious mismatch and tough spot -- at this point, Homeless Emperor appears to be the single most powerful individual on the monster side. Puri-Puri Prisoner is besieged by a whole bevy of monsters, including his monsterized former prison-mates and Nyaan the cat. Superalloy Blackluster faces off with Insect God. Pig God evidently disposed of Big Eater with little difficulty, but he's ambushed by his monster equivalent, Gums, and the result is ... gross.We still know nothing about how Tornado might be faring or who her picked opponent might be -- maybe Gyoro-Gyoro him/herself? When is Garo going to wake up and rejoin the action? When do we find out what happened with Drive Knight? And Amai Mask only appears this book in the short bonus story at the end -- where it's demonstrated in yet one more detail that there's something weird about him, which will hopefully be the subject of some future episode.Author ONE continues with the motif that a traumatic brush with near death results in explosive growth and evolution of powers. Of course in real life it's pretty much the opposite of that but, hey, OK, it's a comic book. Just don't try this at home.So far in this series it's been "monsters die, heroes and humans don't", but the current story arc seems to be severely testing that rule. If it holds true, it would mean Homeless Emperor can't be killed, because he's a superpowered human rather than a true monster ...Looking forward to #24! (But -- !! -- looks like we're going to have to wait a YEAR for it !?! ... gosh, it was so cool when I had just discovered OPM, and could read the books as fast as I could acquire them ...)

Not very much to say about this volume just strory following up, there's definitely something dark about puri puri prisoner

These volumes just get better and better. I read them so quickly but they’re just that good! I love Zombieman and Saitama. Def my favorites

this was a present for my son and he loves it

Whatever is repeated is usually fun anyway. The side arcs are enjoyable, but I’d like to see more of Saitama kicking ass.

I Don't Have Much To Say ATM But I Can't Wait For The Next Volume To Read Next Time ONE PUNCH !

mostly action(in this volume less of Saitama) but i love the series so i really can't give it a bad review..

Once again ONE and Yusuke Murahta tell a most exciting and humorous chapter in this wacky, unprecedented manga series.

Bastante bien, la mexicana está muy cara así q esta opción está muy bien, Panini debe d checar cuántos tomos se llevan xq siempre son los revendedores los q se quieren manchar

I really don't need to say anything, the reviews speak for themselves ( exept this one)

Good

This latest entry into the AMAZING OPM saga focuses on the ongoing battle between the respective Hero and Monster Associations. It moves the story forward slowly, but it focuses a lot on other heros and villains and expands their characters quite a bit, while focusing less on Saitama, Genos, and Garou.A solid entry into the OPM universe, I was glued to the pages the whole way through, and I now look forward to the next.

The book is just beautiful a lot of work has been put in the books
