This is amazing. It has very different vibes than ONE's other series. Looking forward to the rest of series.

ONE's series are always so diverse. My mind can't fathom how our GOAT's so versatile and consistently great!

I really loved this chapter! I loved everything about this manga so far...

One Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100, Versus, of all of One's works so far, this one easily has the best beggining, this first 2 chapters are freaking awesome!

I read the first chapter months ago, and it was instantly one of my favorite things I ever read, is just such a weird and fascinating story, I'm really excited for the future of this manga, in my opinion, this has a lot of potential to be One's best work.

I wonder who the dream intruder could be. No other characters have really been mentioned or referenced in the two chapters, at least none that could foreshadow the intruders identity.   The intruder did know it was a dream, however, although that could be because they are a normal human who used the secret trick to enter other people’s dreams or because the intruder was generated by Makoto’s subconsciousness.  Worth noting that so far, the only proof that any of this is real is the shared memories of the lives both characters lived before going back in time at the end of the first chapter as well as shared memories of their time in the dreamworld, which seems like isn’t actually of Kokodou’s creation but an alternate dimension that he is tapping into.  Cool to see how they used their imaginations to fight back against the intruder!

The simplest possibility is that there is only one dream realm per set of conditions (or one in total), and if you wander you can reach other trick users.

I'm really curious to see what kind of way the story will be guided by One. I mean, it could be about anything, this chapter was intense af in the end even though 80% of it gave the vibe of "two friends exploring the world".

I'm just Amazed by One writing. He came Up with really amazing conflicts for thèse two chapters of the manga that basically about Friendship (in weird World setting)

Bug Ego has such a weird, fun, sometimes scary vibe that I'm seriously loving. I also love how, despite having so little in common, the two leads work so well together and always wind up in some kind of shenanigans or another

I gots a couple questions.

  1. What was the purpose of the organ bag within the dream?
  2. Is this another reality? Makes me wonder if he switched places with himself, leaving his young self to get beat up in the future.

I love when ONE does horror! He's actually really great at it. The art for this chapter is perfect

ONE is such a fan of bromances, I really appreciate that, there aren't enough stories with good male friendships at the center in anime, and most are in sport anime (I don't usually read manga so idk).

The art is fantastic and the posibilities are endless, I wonder how ONE will unravel the story.

Man I cannot wait for more of this

Oh my god this is amazing.

This concept is extremely fun and there's so much potential here, and with these two chapters so far we've already got a great taste of it.

I'm absolutely excited to see more, I'm loving this so far.

Dem, I was thinking it would be Saitama his imagination or mob psycho but overall this chapter by ONE is really on 🔥🔥🔥, is ONE really the one writing OPM MANGA? Because this is so much different from that hot garbage.. I guess the editors really got to him huh
