Saitama really doesn't give a poo poo at all. It's so great. Also Geno. Hahah he really looks up to Saitama. That action panel of him furiously writing down the quote had me in stitches. I thought I would get tired of Saitama one punching poo poo but it hasn't gotten old.

How long has this manga have been going?

I hope it never stops.

ONE's version began in July of 2009, while Murata's take began in June of last year.

I loved Saitama's attitude. "I'll keep saving you whether you assholes like it or not"

Also I love how danger levels don't even register with him.

The Gorp: Jan 7, 2013; My style is impetuous,
My defenses are impregnable

Its not like anyone can STOP him from "saving" them.
Saitama is an indifferent god, making this series a real treat due to its uniqueness.

The Lord of Hats: Aug 22, 2010; Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?

Thinking about it, it's really funny to me that that random office worker guy who got inspired by Saitama a while back (or really, any of the random people in those groups) is considered a superior hero to Tank Top Tiger.

That makes me wonder. Was that guy asked to join the Miss Blizzard group after he'd become B rank or before? Tank Top Black Hole tried to frame Saitama for doing it, so I wonder if lower rank heroes can team up with higher rank heroes to get easy points to climb the ladder.

That's pretty much exactly what Fubuki/Blizzard's gang is about. They've got the numbers advantage, and Fubuki herself is at least mid to high A rank level, she just stays at the top of B rank because reasons.

That's the good thing about Saitama - anyone can be like him. Just follow his training regime for three years:

(a) 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 10 km running, every single day;

(b) you have to eat three meals a day, but in the morning, a banana should be enough;

(c) never use your air-conditioner, whether in winter or in summer; and

(d) never, ever take a single day off.

If you are completely bald at the end of the three years, you know you've succeeded.

Maybe I'm just being shallow and reacting to the art, but I think Atashin'chi and other manga like it did the premise better. Outside of the whole demon bit, of course.

Kind of a short looking chapter. Glad we've immediately gone to Saitama versus Cthulhu.

Yeah, Murata seems to be taking it easy after his monster color chapter. I think it's a good thing, since the current chapter is just setup. He's probably gathering eldritch power into his pens and markers, and the climax to this arc will be over 100 pages that are downloaded directly into your brain via neural interface.

So Saitama has a super powered cyborg buddy, and he uses him as if he were Rosie the Robot. Nice.

I'm pretty sure it's just that Saitama doesn't bother washing the dishes until they pile up enough to become a mysterious being, so Genos jumps on the opportunity to do his duty as the faithful disciple.

Plus Saitama with a scouring pad sounds like a recipe for a LOT of ruined pans.

It's probably Boon -- he doesn't include a credits page on his scanlation work. That's another place to read it, for those who can't read at Mangafox.

I love that Saitama can barely recall punching a fifty-foot-tall sea monster to death. It's nice that something like that is so stupidly mundane to him that he doesn't even need to think about it.

According to Murata's twitter tomorrow's chapter is going to be a little short. The reason for this is because he's going for 100 pages in the chapter after it. Seriously. The man is insane, hahaha.
