A Decade of Mob Psycho 100
Created by ONE, the acclaimed manga behind One-Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100 began serialization in Shogakukan’s Ura Sunday before continuing on the MangaONE platform between 2012 and 2017.
The story follows Shigeo Kageyama, better known as Mob, a quiet middle school student with overwhelming psychic powers. Although capable of extraordinary feats, Mob simply wants to live an ordinary life and grow as a person.
Whenever his emotions reach 100%, however, his incredible psychic abilities explode, leading to spectacular supernatural battles and emotional character moments.
The manga became widely praised for blending action, comedy, heartfelt storytelling, and personal growth into a uniquely memorable coming-of-age narrative.
The Anime Became a Modern Classic
The television adaptation introduced Mob’s story to an even larger audience.
Produced by Studio Bones, the anime quickly earned recognition for its striking visual style, fluid animation, and faithful adaptation of ONE’s distinctive artwork.
The anime aired over three television seasons:
- Season 1: 2016
- Season 2: 2019
- Season 3: 2022
In addition to the main television series, the franchise expanded through:
- Original Video Animations (OVAs)
- A live-action television drama
- A stage adaptation
- Multiple special events and exhibitions
Over the years, Mob Psycho 100 has become one of the defining supernatural anime of its generation.

Reigen and Mob Share Another Everyday Adventure
One of the highlights of the commemorative video centers on Reigen’s Spirit and Such Consultation Office.
The short story follows Reigen as he struggles to install surveillance cameras around the office.
Naturally, Mob quietly steps in and uses his psychic abilities to help his mentor complete the task.
