One-Punch Man: What is Versus?ย
Launched in the pages of Kodansha’s Shonen Sirius magazine last Fall, Versus is ONE’s first full manga project since the release of Mob Psycho 100 back in 2012. This means the creator’s finally back in full action a decade after releasing their last major effort, so there’s a chance that this new series will have the same kind of longevity if the impact of One-Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 are anything to go by. With the first collected volume of Versus hitting shelves overseas soon, international fans are still waiting to check it out themselves.ย
There has yet to be any international licensing plans announced for ONE’s Versus manga just yet, but it’s likely going to be a big hit around the world for all of the new eyes that get to check it out. Featuring a world ruled over by demons, 47 of humanity’s greatest heroes are sent out into the world with the intent of taking out 47 demon kings before fighting against the one that rules over them all. But it’s a long road to get to that point!ย
