One-Punch Man Manga is Going on Hiatus
One-Punch Man has a lot to look forward to. With the series confirming its third season, along with a live-action film currently in the works from Sony Pictures, Saitama seems to be unbeatable on multiple fronts. Unfortunately, it seems that fans who follow the hero for fun in his manga series are going to have to wait a little bit longer as the mangaka, ONE, has confirmed that the series will be going on a brief hiatus.
In the latest chapter of the manga, Saitama reveled in the fact that he defeated Garou, the hero killer that had become nearly the One-Punch Man's equal thanks to inheriting the strength of a dark god. Despite his newfound power, the villain wasn't able to pull off a victory and Saitama was even able to bring back Genos from the grave as a result of his actions. The conclusion of this fight marks a good time for the series to go on hiatus and perhaps prep for a new potential challenge for Saitama, who remains undefeated thanks in part to his ridiculously easy training regiment.
Taking to his Official Twitter Account, the creator known simply as ONE had this to say about the upcoming hiatus for the manga series:
"I'm going to take a break for about a month from now on. We will notify you as soon as the scheduled publication date of the new episode is decided."
When it comes to the upcoming third season of the anime adaptation, it remains to be seen if the series will manage to cover the battle against Garou in the future episodes or if they might take place in a potential fourth season. There are also plenty of other questions that are surrounding the new anime episodes, including which animation studio will ultimately bring the continuing fight between Saitama and the Monster Association to life. Also under wraps is the release window for the third season of One-Punch Man, though when the release date does drop, there will be plenty of anime fans who will be counting down the days for Saitama's animated return.
