One-Punch Man Manga Goes on Hiatus for a Month

One-Punch Man manga is going to take a month-long break from releasing any new chapters. After the release of the latest chapter this week, the illustrator of the manga, Yusuke Murata, announced on Twitter that the series will take a break for around a month to prepare for the future.

次回から新シリーズなんですが、これからに向けて１ヶ月ほどお休みをいただきます。新エピソードの掲載予定日は決まり次第告知をさせていただきますのでよろしくお願い致します。

The series saw the end of a big arc featuring Garou, who was Saitama’s latest nemesis. The epic long-running arc has been received well by fans, and they are thanking Murata for his work and wishing he has a good rest.

In the manga, Saitama defeated Garou, who was the hero killer. He became almost as powerful as Saitama himself. However, this being One-Punch Man, Saitama was able to overcome the odds and defeat Garou after all. The arc also saw the return of fan-favourite Genos. Due to these developments taking place, the hiatus seems like a good resting point for the manga.

The One-Punch Man anime is also getting a third season, as announced on Thursday. There is no word on who is going to animate it. A teaser visual was also released to commemorate the announcement, featuring Saitama and Garou. The manga will likely adapt more of the Garou arc in the third season.

Viz Media is publishing the manga in English, and describes One-Punch Man as follows:
