Summary
Nothing about Saitama passes the eyeball test when it comes to superheroes, from his lifeless expression to his bald head to his unimpressive physique. However, this average-looking guy has a not-so-average problem—he just can’t seem to find an opponent strong enough to take on!
Every time a promising villain appears, he beats the snot out of them with one punch! Can Saitama finally find an opponent who can go toe-to-toe with him and give his life some meaning? Or is he doomed to a life of superpowered boredom?

Trivia
- Saitama's fight with the Subterranean People in Chapter 4 was redrawn to be slightly extended: Saitama performs a leg-sweep move and kills several Subterraneans in one punch before he is knocked into a wall.
- Saitama's face was also redrawn on multiple pages to appear a bit older.
