## Synopsis

Mob Psycho 100 (2016-2022) is a Japanese animated supernatural comedy series produced by the studio BONES, a shonen anime across three seasons. Shigeo Kageyama, nicknamed Mob, is a middle schooler with extraordinary psychic ability who tries to suppress his powers and live a normal life. His plans fall apart whenever his emotions reach their peak, and he is drawn into the orbit of Arataka Reigen, a self-promoting fraud who runs a fake psychic business and acts as a mentor. Each episode is built around a new client, a spirit, or a rival esper, sometimes linked to a larger secret organization, and the stories are propelled by Mob's struggle to express feelings he has long buried. His brother Ritsu and rivals add sibling and school threads. Its tone is deadpan and absurd yet tender, with moments of coming of age introspection and sudden bursts of grotesque action. Fans of One Punch Man and Jujutsu Kaisen will find resonance in its mix of spectacle, comedy, and heart.
