The One-Punch Man Manga Gallery

Thirty-seven covers, one painter, and a hero hiding in the corners.

Every Japanese volume of One-Punch Man is below, in order, with its release date and ISBN. The covers are the Jump Comics originals, verified against Shueisha’s records and checked one by one: the printed numbers run 1 to 37 without a break.

A 38th volume is scheduled for December 4, 2026 (ISBN 978-4-08-885292-8). It has no cover to show yet, so it is not pictured here.

ONE COVER, TWO EDITIONS

Tokyo · San Francisco

Volume 1, twice

One painting · two countries · three years apart
Jump Comics, 2012
Jump Comics, 2012The Japanese first edition: Murata’s Saitama under the Jump Comics banner, credits in Japanese. December 4, 2012.
Viz Media, 2015
Viz Media, 2015The North American edition keeps Murata’s painting and re-dresses it: English logo, Shonen Jump Manga strip. September 1, 2015.

Viz did not commission new art. The English One-Punch Man is the Japanese book re-lettered, which is why this gallery can show the Japanese covers as the series’ true face: the paintings never change, only the clothes do.

READING THE COVERS

What Murata is doing
Every cover is a painting
All 37 covers are Yusuke Murata’s own paintings, in the same high-finish digital style as the interior’s best pages. There are no photo covers, no anime stills, and no guest artists in the run.
The small Saitama
On covers fronted by other characters, Saitama repeatedly turns up small in a corner or at the edge of the frame, breaking the mood of an otherwise straight heroic portrait. Volume 4 puts him in Bang’s open palm.
The exceptions
Volume 12, Garou’s first cover, is the famous absence: no Saitama at all. The joke only works because the other 36 covers trained you to look for him.
