interesting concepts, terrible execution

I like his stuff. Then again, it doesn't really matter what I think.

Even though its popular to hate on stuff here, I'll explain why One is a good writer. Not great mind you, just good. (Though in comparison to most of the shit manga writers out there....)
ONE likes to play on the gary stu fantasy that most young boys have. He gives them that superhero or special power they imagine themselves having and fixing all the problems in their life with, then refuses to let that power give the hero what they want. Saitama is not a well regarded hero loved by thousands, Mob did not get the girl of his dreams by showing off his psychic power. Both of their ultimate goals are still outside their reach.
However, ONE doesn't stop there, he allows there hero to gain friends and become recognized by people that view them as a person (This is where MOB 100 executes better than One-Punch Man). Thus showing his audience (which is intended to be young boys and emotionally stunted basement dwellers like us) that you don't have to imagine yourself up some superpower as if that is required to live a good life. All ONE's audience needs to do is put in a little effort and find enjoyment in the people around them that like them for them.
One Punch Man is underwhelming, but that was a side project. Mob Psycho has well written characters and strong themes though.
ONE's best drawings are poop
you cant seriously call him a good drawer
inb4 fanclub spams the poorly drawn slug and the big man
He likes to write autistic MC(saitama, mob) so maybe he is auststic himself.
Even the mangaka in Makai no Ossan is autistic.
Autistic writers can't be good so the answer is no.

He's a god tier artist but his writing is shitty.
His drawings carry the story because of the impact it gives.
>>150025696
as much as i disagree, this is not what this thread is about. its a bout his writing skills, his ability to tell a good story. not his ability to draw it.

nowhere near that

???????
MOB is the better written of the two if I had to pick. Each character has their own developed motives and arcs, where OPM is less so.
He's a pretty good story teller(I'd definitely say this is different from being a good "writer" per say), I feel he would most likely fail if he tried to go out of comedy/action with some slice of life though

Not only that but he makes fun of hierarchy, and ego maniacs who use their abilities as a means of feeling superior to others, there's tons of these characters in anime and capekino, but in OPM and MS, since the main character is so powerful and indifferent, any attempt to dominate them comes across as childish, when Atomic Samurai refuses to shake Saitamas hand because he only recognizes the strong, its hilarious because we know Saitama is infinitely more powerful than him, but he only recognizes him as a C class nobody.
King is respected and feared because people overestimate his strength when in reality he's a weakling, Genos idolizes Saitama and treats him as a guru, when Saitama has no skillful qualities other than his abilities that he acquired by accident.
In a way OPM reminds me a lot of the Big Lebowski, the dude, constantly has people obsessed with wealth and authority trying to lord it over him, but since he has no interest inn those things it doesn't phase him.

You can literally summarize any story like this
>>150026851
You can't. OPM and MP100 uses the same joke over and over again.
