Cut the bullshit, show me how - tutorial

If you only follow the official publisher site (Tonarinoyj), you are essentially reading in slow motion.

The original creator, ONE, publishes the source webcomic way ahead of Yusuke Murata’s redrawn version. While Murata’s art is legendary, the story progression in the webcomic is massive.

• The Gap: official publisher (Tonarinoyj) is at Chapter 266, released December 2025, only just reaches the events of ONE's raw manga Chapter 124.

• The Reality: The ONE's raw manga is already at Chapter 156.

That is over 30 chapters of high-stakes plot, new characters, and Saitama moments that official manga readers won't see for years. The art is rough, but the story is pure fire.

The Barrier: No Official Translation

Since the webcomic raw manga is a self-published passion project on a 2000s-style website, there is no "official" English toggle. Most fans wait months for fan-scans—but you don't have to.
