One Punch Man by One & Yûsuke Murata
[Seinen Manga] One Punch Man 一拳超人 – 24 volumes (2009-ongoing) I discovered this manga thanks to Yatuu’s article of 15/01/2016 which made me want to discover Saitama this atypical hero who has a very flashy and authentic look. He is very strong and can defeat monsters with one punch! So he is invincible! So I was not disappointed to discover this totally offbeat universe.

At the time, I couldn’t read or write Chinese, so my mom read me some dialogues. I found the title very intriguing I.Q 博士 。QI… and 博士 [bó shì] for doctor.

I like to stroll to the media library from time to time and read children’s books (my dream is to publish them), because I am sensitive to the drawing and the universal message it conveys. Who said that children’s books are only for children? This time I was not alone but with my friend and our respective children. She was not in good spirits and I proposed her to do something she had never done before: we were looking for a children’s book that we would read together to forget those negative thoughts. I chose the book “La grande Histoire d’un petit Trait”, I knew I would like it because…
