He's a writer and asian.

I'm here with you

Did anyone actually care about the webcomic? The manga adaptation is where the bulk of the popularity came from, and Murata is a great artist.

>>4976160
Do you even read the series? The manga is full of shit rewrites and retcons whit awful pacing.
The webcomic is much better with a story that's moving along quite nicely and is actually interesting.

>>4976149
I am surrounded by the bad kind of autists.

>>4976169
That sounds like a nightmare

these

Actually Mob Psycho looks pretty good

Nobody but now they will say they liked the webcomic retroactively because lying to support your narrative is normal.

>>4976204
But it's a comfy kind of autistic nightmare where everyone shit's at each other while also like each other at the same time.

>>4976149
Wouldn't look that bad if it was done traditionally but not that much, maybe 38% better.

>>4976533
No.

>"One Punch Ma'am? Nay my friend, we only consume true Anime KINO such as Shingeki no Kyojin, or Attack on Titan as you white devils say, 心臓を捧げよ!"

It's a good story that had an audience. Normal people who don't study art won't fully understand the canyon of skill between murata and one.

>>4976162
People only read the webcomic because the manga is so big. It may have garnered some sort of small cult following on its own but it wouldn't even have 1/10th of its' current popularity without Murata's redraw. You're deluding yourself if you think otherwise.

>>4976610
lmao you don't have to study art to notice the difference

>>4976149
>Whats your excuse?
I'm workin' on it.

eh, i wouldn't go that far. it pretty much went off the gag rails into 'i want murata senpai to draw this next' generic action

>>4976160
ONE's appeal obviously isn't his artwork but he seems to have a natural talent for story writing and creating characters.

>>4976644
It's not only a level of skill difference, but also a level of effort difference. The webcomic is a side-project shat out quickly in spare time amidst a full-time serialization, the manga is a full-time serialization (that also has the benefit of having no real deadline so Murata can work as long as he wants on chapters -- not to say he doesn't work extremely hard on it, but it means he doesn't need to rush out unfinished art or take shortcuts in order to meet a deadline).

>>4976149
I am neither Japanese nor from a country that values long form webcomics.

>>4976149
It's actually relatively common for comedy manga to be drawn much rougher. It's not like every single manga is drawn by a team of 20 skilled artists.

>>4976683
>nor from a country that values long form webcomics.
It's a fantastic thing we live in the age where birth nationality has mattered the least in all of history. All you need to do to appeal to any given country is to learn enough of their language to get your ideas across. Your country doesn't give a shit about webcomics? Learn jap, target your work toward japs, post it on twitter. Nobody will care if you're actually some smelly brazilian if if it isn't painfully obvious.

>>4976683
>I wanna beatbox but Im not from a country where you can earn a living by making sounds with your mouth

>>4976149
I'm lazy and suck at writing.

>>4976610
Most normal people would easily see the difference in skill, what most normal people wound't see is the stuff One is fantastic at such as panneling and composition.

>>4976149
Good marketing > actual talent

>>4976687
>just like, learn an entire complex language

>>4976162
>The webcomic is much better with a story that's moving along quite nicely and is actually interesting.
ok, but is it as popular as the manga with, in your own words, shit rewrites, retcons and awful pacing that has better art?
there you go

>>4976715
If you can post on /ic/ then you can learn japanese. Also, you can clearly speak english and there are plenty of financially successful long-form webcomics on the english-speaking sphere of the web.

>>4976724
Oh yes 1 for every 10,000 literally whos clearly this is a logical and lucrative path to take

>>4976716
it is popular in japan the manga by ONE

>>4976744
it's the exact same for japanese, you stupid fucking faggot

>>4976744
Art as a whole is not a "logical and lucrative path to take". Comics even less so.

>>4976749
can you repeat that in english?

>>4976758
sorry. he is popular

>>4976754
If I was Japanese I would work towards serialization. It at least has a clear path to follow even if it's still difficult.

>>4976765
but that was not the question, which is more popular, the shittily rewritten manga with shitty pacing and good art, or the better written webcomic with shitty art?

>>4976797
yes

>>4976160
I genuinely liked Amai Mask's arc in the webcomic and I can't wait for it to get the manga adaptation in 2022

>>4976683
This. My home country basically have no culture let alone Internet culture and the generic online nerd stuff is alien to me.

>>4976160
Well there's at least one person that really, really, REALLY liked the webcomic.
Murata himself.
