The Japanese manga animation "One Punch Man" remake version of Yusuke Murata, which is based on the original webcomic by author One, is one of the most popular manga which features the protagonist Saitama. Although Murata is merely adapting the series from One, he has added unique touches to it and created an amazing storyline.

While waiting for the release of the next chapter, Murata revealed a massive update which will surely make fans excited about chapter 84. This month, chapter 83 was already released and chapter 84 will be out in December.

On Twitter, Murata posted an image of the manga sketches he has done. The picture comes with a caption revealing the next chapter manuscript will only have 125 pages. Fans of "One Punch Man" will no doubt wait for the release of this manga which has the most number of pages so far.

ComicBook reported that Murata is known to make many pages for every chapter. This stretched out the 30-page manga of the original creator, One. Chapter 81, 82 and 83 were both more than 50 pages long. This means that the last three chapters are more than 150 pages long. Another interesting point is that these were a tie-in with the web comic version of One's "One Punch Man."  

A separate report also revealed that Murata paid tribute to the death of "Dragon Ball" voice actress Hiromi Tsuru. The 57-year-old actress was found unresponsive and her death saddened many. Tsuru is known for her role as Bulma in the long-running Japanese animated television series.

To honor Tsuru, Murata sketched Bulma when she appeared in the original "Dragon Ball" anime. He shared it on Twitter and said that he would miss Tsuru. Murata is a big fan of Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball" which explains why he is also mourning the death of the voice actress.
