The Universe Guide
Mob Psycho 100 is a manga and anime series created by ONE, the same creator behind One Punch Man. It follows Shigeo Kageyama, nicknamed "Mob" (meaning "background character"), an incredibly powerful psychic middle schooler who just wants to live a normal life. To learn control over his abilities, he works as an assistant to Arataka Reigen, a charismatic con man who poses as a spirit medium. The series brilliantly explores themes of self-improvement, emotional growth, and the idea that psychic powers don't make you special โ being a good person does. When Mob's suppressed emotions hit 100%, his immense psychic power explodes in spectacular and often devastating ways.
