One-Punch Man Creator to Launch New Manga Series After 10 Years
ONE is a creator known for his extremely overpowered protagonists with dull personalities and an unawareness about their abilities. While people around these protagonists are left speechless by their feats, the heroes are probably worried about missing a discount or sale.
Saitama from One-Punch Man and Mob from Mob Psycho 100 are two of the most prominent characters and series created by ONE. The mangaka is planning to add a new manga series to this collection.
ONE, the creator of One-Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100, will launch a new manga series titled ‘Versus.’ It will begin serialization in Kodansha’s Shonen Sirius magazine on November 26.

The franchise has opened an official Twitter account for the manga, which will deliver its latest updates. Kyotaro Azuma is doing the art for the manga, and bose has been credited for its composition.
Versus will launch in Shonen Sirius magazine’s next issue and is ONE’s first new manga series in 10 years. Mob Psycho 100 came out in 2012, and this one will be his first new manga after that.
Shonen Sirius describes the story as a fantasy set up with demons and other elements. The protagonist or supporting characters haven’t been revealed yet, but the franchise has given us a basic premise.
It is set in a world where demons have invaded humans and have been oppressing them for hundreds of years. The demonkind is ruled by the Dark Lord and his 47 generals, so to fight back, humanity has gathered its own.
Over the years, humans have trained and appointed 47 heroes to fight against the Dark Lord and his underlings. The completion of humanity’s heroes marks the beginning of a desperate struggle against demons to win back their freedom.

Considering how hilarious ONE’s writing and stories are, I can’t imagine him giving us a plot that is dark and serious. I’m sure there’s a catch, and we’ll find that out once the manga comes out.
I also can’t wait to see who the hero of this story is and how similar he is to Saitama and Mob.

On an unnamed Earth-like supercontinent planet, powerful monsters and villains have been wreaking havoc in the cities. To combat them, the world’s government created a Hero Association that employs superheroes to stop them. The heroes are ranked from Class C to Class S.
Saitama, an unassociated hero, hails from the metropolis of City-Z and performs heroic deeds for his own entertainment. He has trained himself to the point where he broke his “limit” and can effortlessly defeat any opponent with a single punch while slaying monsters the same way. But he is now bored with his omnipotence and frustrated by sensing he lacks a challenge.
