Board 8 > One Punch man is about to finish it's 5 year Monster Association arc

(+) Yeah! (+)

ONE and Murata might be one of the best teams in manga at this point.

Not for long - it's ending after this arc

Uh....I guess. I thought there was a lot of strange choices and filler, but the highs were high.

Are you talking about the mistranslation from a while back?

This topic pushed me to go read the manga. I'd originally seen the anime when it came out so I'd seen up to Boros, but it was fun to read from the beginning

I'm at chapter 94 so pretty far into this MA arc

One thing I don't really get is why this series is so reluctant to ever kill heroes - when rampant civilian deaths were so common as a joke early on and have happened a lot since. It feels like the writing, by imitating the material it's satirizing so perfectly, is succumbing to the very action tropes it's supposed to mock. I have noticed that Garo not killing anybody is an intentional narrative choice and not bad writing though.

Yeah the MA arc has made that very blatant as half the s class should be dead at least.

Garou even let's loose a gamma ray burst on the surface of the planet and no one dies lol

I only read the most recent chapters and while entertaining, yeah it is pretty much just another action shonen at this point.

The consequences of your arc being 80% filler

With incredibly pretty art, but yes.

The webcomic version is legit better in every other way.
