One Punch Man surprises fans with a bonus chapter 

The One Punch Man fanbase has been quite excited ever since Yusuke Murata launched Volume 28 on Friday. While a volume is just a compilation of the already-existing manga chapters, the mangaka adds in extra content for the fanbase to enjoy. In this case, Volume 28 is reportedly set to receive a bonus chapter soon, much to the delight of the entire fanbase.

The cover of One Punch Man Volume 28 was released a few days ago. On it, one could see Genos and Tatsumaki together, which sparked numerous “TatsuGenos” ship discussions on various platforms like Reddit and Twitter.

@Everything_OPM The title is "olfactory sensation" have you guessed what it is about?

In the 28th volume of the manga, there was a separate page dedicated to the comments provided by Yusuke Murata himself. A rough translation of what the mangaka said, was “The seasons are passing at a breakneck speed!”

Progress of the One Punch Man manga

Currently, there are 185 chapters in total. Roughly 42 chapters are yet to be compiled into a volume, and fans hope that Murata sensei will be able to compile another volume before this year ends.

In the aforementioned volume, the Monsters Association arc is the longest story arc so far. This is a crucial arc that shows Garou’s character development and Saitama’s combat abilities in the One Punch Man manga.

The “Neo Heroes Saga” has finally started in One Punch Man. It will focus on the darker side of a superhero society.

The first Neo Heroes, “Accel” and “Raiden”, have been revealed.

Chapter 170 marks the end of the Monsters Association arc and Human Monster saga. Chapter 171 kicks off the Neo Heroes saga and the Psychic Sisters arc.

This story arc was relatively short, and chapter 183 marked its conclusion. Chapter 184 started the Neo Heroes Introduction arc, which sheds some light on the sensitive and dire situation that the Heroes Association is in.
