Book Review: One Punch Man Vols. 3 and 4 by One and Yusuke Murata

One-Punch Man Volume 3 story by One and art by Yusuke Murata

Saitama faces his greatest challenge yet--trying to get registered in the Hero Association. Then he will be recognized as a hero and get credit for all the good he does. At least he'll have some evidence that he is not a bad guy. He and Genos, the cyborg that wants to learn from Saitama, report for the test together but don't come out the same at the other end. 

The story is still very entertaining and the larger culture is coming to light. A lot of other heroes are around and go on assignments from the Hero Association, so Saitama has the chance to expand his experience and maybe finally find a worthy opponent. He needs to get over some other hurdles first, though.

One-Punch Man Volume 4 story by One and art by Yusuke Murata

Saitama and Genos face off against a giant meteor hurtling toward City Z. They team up with the old guy from the cover to fight the good fight, though the fallout is a mixed result for Saitama. He goes up the ranks of the C-Class heroes but other heroes are jealous and try to take him down, both in the public eye and in a literal sense. Later, sea creatures attack City J on the coast, so Saitama and Genos set off to join the fight. Again, other heroes add to the complications.

This is another fun issue of the story.
