I have to say, I was genuinely impressed and touched by Saitama taking a dive in order to give the credit to the other heroes. That was one of the few truly selfless and heroic things he's done.
What? Did you read chapter 27.1? The civilians start shitting on the heroes who got wasted so Saitama says that the only reason he could beat it was because they weakened it and started acting like a douche, making them all think he's a cheat who got lucky and start to praise the other heroes again. He specifically gave them the credit and let people think he was a cheater. He was even expecting to get fired because of it.
It is the kind of Manga that I will probably read a second time. I've only done that with two other manga: Dragonball and Berserk. That's how much this manga makes my balls tingle.
Color me a fan. Ten chapters in, and the basic premise is easy enough to comprehend. Taking a motivational message of hardwork and dedication and turning it over its head for the end result to be of a satirical extreme with a cynically real-world mentality. I think it's alwas been a subject matter/trope of anime that I'd always wanted to see treated with satire or parody. Throw a few obvious shout-outs/memes to wit it up, and yeah, I think I have a new favorite manga.
Reading up on some of the side characters as well has also gotten me crackin' up. Namely the gimmick behind the characters King and Puripuri Prison man or whatever.
