I would've said this years ago but now it really is trying to be an average tryhard shonen series itself ever since the severe MA arc changes from the webcomic.

The only real difference is that the webcomic is drawn like shit and the manga isn't. OPM has basically been typical Shonen trash from the start, at least since the Genos's debut. The introduction of the Hero Association further compounded this and the villain Garo is the exact kind of cliched nonsense you'd expect from Shonen.

While the story begins to take itself more seriously later on, it still has a lot of gag influence. That doesn't stop it from being typical Shonen-esque trash, though.
