Growth Process is a bonus chapter released with Volume 16 of One-Punch Man. It turns a small convenience-store scuffle into a quiet study of ambition, contrasting two low-ranking heroes as one chases danger and the other wrestles with envy.
Eyelashes and Glasses put a stop to some criminals at a convenience store, then fall into conversation about where each of them stands. Eyelashes compliments how far Glasses has come, but Glasses brushes the praise off, insisting he still has plenty left to work on.
A distant blast draws Glasses toward the trouble. Eyelashes tries to hold him back, doubting he can face the monster on his own, yet Glasses restates his determination to grow and heads off anyway.
Left behind, Eyelashes phones Fubuki to report a hero already at the scene, watching Glasses go as jealousy quietly settles over him.
