Creating a One-Shot Manga

ONE may be best known for their work in the world of Saitama, aka One-Punch Man, but the mangaka has clearly spread her wings when it comes to the medium of manga. The mangaka, who recently released a new series called Versus in which humans battle against a host of demons for the fate of the world, recently dropped a brand new one-shot that’s unlike anything that’s come before. Bug Ego has arrived in Japan and tells a story that doesn’t involve the fisticuffs that the creator is known for.

One-Punch Man has confirmed that the anime adaptation will return for a third season, although a release date and studio have yet to be confirmed regarding Saitama’s long-awaited return. Fortunately, fans can follow “Hero For Fun” on two different fronts, as both the manga and webcomic continue to release new chapters pitting the titular One-Punch Man against ever-growing threats. While there has yet to be a villain capable of defeating Saitama, making the life of a crime fighter pretty boring, the antagonist Garou has been the closest threat in recent memory to the martial artist being able to gain the powers of a dark god.

One-Punch Man’s Bug Ego

Bug Ego first arrived in Japan in early April of this year, with translators taking the opportunity to introduce it to readers around the world. Unfortunately, an official North American release has yet to be confirmed, although the ONE’s popularity certainly works in its favor. Since this is a one-off, it may be more difficult for the short story to receive an anime adaptation.For those who may not know what ONE’s latest manga one-shot is about, here’s the story description, which focuses on two high school students who live up to the title: “Two high school students use flaws in our reality to their advantage. But then a ridiculous exploit leads to serious consequences for one.”
