The manga was originally a self-published work that was first posted on the Japanese manga website Nitosha in 2009.
VIZ Media releases the One-Punch Man manga series in English, and describes the main synopsis as:
Every time a promising villain appears, Saitama beats the snot out of ’em with one punch! Can he 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?
