Manga Review: One Punch-Man Chapter 132

One Punch-Man Chapter 132

VIZ

Mangaka: ONE (Writer), Yusuke Murata (Artist)

The battle between Tatsumaki and Psykos rages on as Psykos flexes the power of her new form. With her newfound strength, Psykos appears to be a threat to all of mankind. But even in the face of this threat, Tatsumaki is undeterred.

While I love ONE’s comedy writing throughout the series, chapters like this one are where Murata is able to shine the brightest with his artwork. The large-scale characters and attacks are presented brilliantly on every panel, and this chapter had an amazing panel (the featured image of this article, in fact) in the wake of one spectacular attack. Murata’s art is not only incredibly detailed, but he knows exactly how to illustrate action and combat.

The story was fairly light on this chapter but considering we’re in the middle of a major battle with raw combat and feats of strength on display I’m not complaining. Psykos was this week’s star player, and taking center stage she provided a great deal of entertainment. Her new form is fairly lewd, especially in some of the full-body panels, but Murata’s art paints her as a formidable opponent to Tatsumaki.

This chapter does seem to give us a bit more insight into Tatsumaki’s character, or at the very least offers a moment for the Tornado of Terror to face an opponent very similar to herself. Regardless of how you interpret it, I smell a flashback from the No. 2 hero coming soon.

Next chapter, I’m expecting for Tatsumaki to launch her counterattack. After seeing just how strong Psykos appears to be, I can’t wait to see how Tatsumaki will retaliate. With Murata on art, you know it’s going to look incredible.

Not gonna lie, though… I’m interested in how the rest of the S-Class is doing right now,
