Jessica | 225 comments I decided on this one, cause I watched the show and the show is hilarious, but has very good thoughtful moments, punctuated by moments that are just plain weird.
The book is the same, but I feel as though the show had better comedic timing because of it's medium. At the end was a little comic chapter not included in the anime (so far), it was cute, very funny and a bit introspective.

I don't know if I would recommend this book to anyone, if only because the humour is weird and dark at times, and it is really hard to explain the story (not really sure there is one), but I will try.

This manga is about a man who can completely anihilate villains/opponents with one punch. There is no challenge at all for him and he becomes very bored with life and the constant barrage of bad guys that show up.

I don't want to explain any more than that, but if it sounds somewhat intriguing check it out! Warning: it gets pretty violent, this series does not pull punches (pun intended :3) when it comes to the devestation that the monsters and villains cause (and even the heroes), but I felt as though the anime was more violent than this.
