Plot

Shigeo Kageyama is an average middle school boy, nicknamed Mob (モブ, Mobu, wasei eigo for "background character") for lacking a sense of presence. Although he looks like an inconspicuous person, he is in fact a powerful esper with immense psychic power. To keep from losing control of this power, he constantly lives a life under an emotional shackle. In order to help learn how to control his abilities, Mob works as an assistant to con-man Reigen Arataka, a self-proclaimed psychic. Mob wants to live a normal life just like those around him, but a barrage of trouble keeps coming after him. With his suppressed emotions growing inside Mob little by little, his power threatens to break through its limits as he eventually encounters other espers like the Claws.

Following a screening of three Bones films, attendees reported that Bones teased that progress was being made on a further Mob Psycho 100 anime project.[46] In October 2017, an event anime titled Mob Psycho 100 Reigen -The Miraculous Unknown Psychic- (モブサイコ100 REIGEN ~知られざる奇跡の霊能力者~, Mob Psycho 100 Reigen -Shirarezaru Kiseki Reinōryokusha-) was revealed.[47] It is a 60-minute compilation of the anime series and features new scenes centered on Arataka Reigen.

Reception

As of July 2016, Mob Psycho 100 had over 1.2 million copies in circulation.[62] In 2017, the manga won the 62nd Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category.[63]

In November 2019, Polygon named Mob Psycho 100 as one of the best anime of the 2010s,[64] and Crunchyroll listed it in their "Top 25 best anime of the 2010s".[65] IGN also listed Mob Psycho 100 among the best anime series of the 2010s.[66]

Anime News Network listed the first season of Mob Psycho 100 among the best anime series of 2016.

Lauren Orsini commended the coming-of-age story of Mob and praised the series' animation and music.[67]

In September 2020, the series went viral after American businessman Eric Trump, son of then-President Donald Trump, published a tweet connecting the series to allegations of censorship by Google, due to Google Search results for "mob" showing Mob's face rather than a group of people.[68][69]
