One Punch Man Returns From Hiatus With Chapter 247

One Punch Man has returned from hiatus with Chapter 247. You can read it via Tonari no Young Jump’s website.

The chapter is quite short and focuses on Suiryu. After an encounter with Webigaza, Suiryu decides to apply for the Neo Heroes organization instead. However, he obliterates a very expensive suit that the Neo Heroes give him. Thus, Suiryu has to work for the Neo Heroes until he can pay off this debt. Once the chapter ends, we can see an ad for the third season of the anime.

While some replies are very positive about Murata’s Webigaza and getting to see Suiryu, a lot of the direct replies to Murata are extremely negative. Some people thought the One Punch Man Chapter 247 was an unnecessary filler, and that it wasn’t worth waiting two months for something so short. As a reminder though, Murata was taking a break. It’s highly unlikely he was working during the two-month hiatus, so he might have drawn a shorter chapter than usual in order to get back into the flow of things.

One Punch Man follows the story of Saitama, who is probably the most powerful man on Earth and is capable of defeating everything with a single punch. Because of this, he’s very bored with life. He and his apprentice, Genos the cyborg, decide to join the Hero Association in pursuit of notability and something new.

The One Punch Man anime is available via Crunchyroll, and Viz Media has licensed the English version of the manga.
