I like how Sonic was a pompous youth. If he had access to the Internet he would buy a fedora and a cane sword.

Has this manga been funny to any one else recently? It feels like, ever since we finished the Monster Association and Garou arcs, the chuckles have only increased by the chapter.

I definitely got a decent laugh out of the reveal of the name "Empty Void", and yeah I agree that the last several chapters have been great with the laughs. King lowering the sword over 3 mins still gets me.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

lol at Monaka’s expression, she definitely just wants to live in Saitama’s doghouse and not be involved with this poo poo.

…speaking of doghouse, wonder what’s gonna happen with Black Sperm? How much protein does he need to come back with full force?

It has surely made a sharp transition from 'superhero comic' back to 'manga making fun about action superhero comics'. I approve.

This chapter I think had a lower chuckles-to-monologues ratio than last chapter.

Does anyone have a full body shot of Manako/"Oculette"? I was trying to find one so I can do a run of my favorite OPM characters as laser engraved coasters, and I haven't been able to find anything but head shots. The only straight on shot I've found is her and Saitama tightening their belts trying to try to stave off hunger in the monster association arc.

This is a timely question, as I was looking for an image for my own reason.

I did a quick scan of some chapters that I know she's in, and there are several shots of her full body, but they are pretty much always small, and she's usually scared or something.

Chapter 138 has an image where she is jumping out of the way of the cube that Saitama tosses towards her.

The volume 26 extras has her dressed as, I don't know, a crossing guard or something...

Chapter 125 has an image of her imagining herself as an angel

Chapter 131 has a few when they are first buried underground and figure out that she can be used as a lightbulb

Hope these help!

Thanks. I really didn't realize how hard it was to find, and how rarely Murata actually draws anyone but "main" characters in full profile until I actually went looking for for this. I'm glad someone else was having the same issue and confirmed I'm not just taking crazy pills.

I mean if Dandadan can give a full tankoubon cover to one of the goofiest characters in the series, anything is possible:

Initial artwork -> cleanup -> vector -> laser test done with one of my favorite panels in the whole series:



Seems like it came out pretty good.

What a coincidence, I was looking for a picture of Manako earlier today too.

I don't like that a lot of art of her has her as pink. It feels like they're really trying to feminize her for no reason, and honestly it doesn't look that great. I don't know if she has an official color yet though. I always picture her as white.

But I guess it makes sense that she's pink. She's supposed to be a castoff piece of Gyoro Gyoro, who is also pink, after all.

Gyoro Gyoro also looked better white, tbh.

Murata plz redraw.

Flashy Flash explicitly labels Manako as pink in his drawing of her, so there's no real question about it at this point. I always imagined her as light green though.

Isnt her design straight up Mike Wazowski, even down to the horns? I just saw her as green for that reason.
