According to One, Yusuke Murata is also participating in the anime production.
One began serializing the webcomic One Punch-Man on his own website in 2009. Yusuke Murata collaborated with One to remake the webcomic into a manga series in 2012 which is serialized in the online version of Weekly Young Jump.
The manga follows Saitama, an average-looking fellow with a bald head and lifeless expressions, who is actually a superhero and bored of battling weak opponents. He embarks on a journey to find a worthy opponent that can withstand his one-punch fighting technique.
