Viz Media has been quiet about the much-awaited “One Punch Man” season 2 since they acquired the rights for the beloved manga. Most of the news from the media giant has been about recent manga releases for the series and hype for their upcoming “One Punch Man" Serious School Festival event to happen on Aug. 12.
ONE and Yusuke Murata, respectively the creator and artist of “One Punch Man,” and the official “One Punch Man” Twitter page, have also been quiet about a potential season 2 for the series. All of them have simply been retweeting about the takoyaki stalls that will be present at the Serious School Festival and the “One Punch Man” season 1 marathons being aired to celebrate the upcoming event.
