Book Review: One-Punch Man Vol. 11 by One et al.

One-Punch Man Volume 11 story by One and art by Yusuke Murata

The story breaks into several plotlines: Saitama fighting in the martial arts tournament, Metal Bat fighting Centichoro (a gigantic, intelligent centipede), and monsters attacking various cities. Saitama's storyline is mostly played for jokes while Metal Bat has to fight above his hero rank and face off against hero-hunter Garo while exhausted from the centipede battle. A random assortment of monsters and villains show up in other cities and wreak havoc, causing the Hero Association to panic. 

I was extremely disappointed in this issue because of one of the villains, Monster Princess Super S. She is "dressed" in S&M straps and wields a whip that forces other to become her love slaves. This is the stuff that gives manga a bad reputation and is completely unacceptable. I don't want my kids seeing this; I don't want to see it either. Treating women like sex objects, even in a joking way, is unacceptable (even if the woman herself choses to be treated or treat others that way).

Not recommended at all.
