One Punch Man manga is an odd place at the moment since many of the older chapters are being redrawn. Yusuke Murata is responsible for the art and story in the manga. In the past, the manga has deviated rather substantially from the source material. Those who have read the webcomic weren’t too pleased with the manga adaptation. Therefore, Murata is known for reworking some of the previously released chapters.
The One Punch Man series has entered a two-month hiatus, and the next chapter is slated to release on July 17, 2025. This announcement was made on May 21, 2025. The official announcement was made on X (formerly known as Twitter). Yusuke Murata made this announcement from his official X account, apologizing to the fans for the delay. On that day, fans expected the redrawn version of One Punch Man chapter 204.
Unfortunately, fans aren’t privy to the reasons for the delay. That being said, fans speculate that the manga illustrator is reworking the chapters because of the unsatisfactory writing. The manga chapters have felt rushed over the past few months, and this could be the reason for Yusuke Murata’s decision to take a two-month break from releasing chapters.
Of late, the quality of the manga chapters has dropped, and fans have been quite vocal about it. The One Punch Man series has an incredibly dedicated fanbase, and it doesn’t mince its words when criticizing the show. The Monster Association arc performed really well. However, the Neo Heroes Saga was off to a slow start. That being said, fans are excited to see the manga’s return as Yusuke Murata is known for his exceptional illustration skills.
Where to read One Punch Man?
Fans residing in Japan can read the latest chapter on Tonari no Young Jump’s official website. This is where fans can read the chapters first. However, the chapter will be in Japanese, and therefore, fans need to wait for a few days before the official English translation is released. Usually, fans rely on rough translations provided by free tools on the internet.
Viz Media’s official website offers the chapters for free but releases content after a delayed period. The English version of the chapter usually releases one week after the original chapter release. However, this is subject to change. Only the last three chapters will be available to read without paying for a subscription. If fans wish to read some of the older chapters, they have to avail themselves of a paid subscription.
A brief summary of how fans reacted to the One Punch Man two-month hiatus
It’s safe to say that One Punch Man was quite divided on this topic. There were some fans who were quite excited for the manga’s return two months later. They encouraged Yusuke Murata and his team to take a much-deserved rest. However, the majority of netizens were far from pleased to receive this news.
They resorted to rather harsh comments, talking about how they weren’t particularly looking forward to the manga. The source material is certainly a better medium to experience the story. However, fans were quite brutal in the comments, asking the manga author to retire.
Trending
In summation, the One Punch Man manga is entering a two-month hiatus. The next re-drawn manga chapter will be released on July 17, 2025. Fans who can read Japanese can access the chapter on Tonari no Young Jump’s official website. Fans who wish to read it in English can do so on Viz Media’s official website. Fans hope to see an improvement in the quality of the subsequent manga chapters.
