While a second OVA titled ‘The Spirits and Such Consultation Office’s First Company Outing ~A Healing Trip that Warms the Heart‘ was released in 2019.
The manga came to an end in 2017 and has been collected into 16 tankobon volumes. Mob Psycho 100 was confirmed to have 1.2 million copies in circulation in 2016.
The anime follows the story of Shigeo Kageyama, a psychic middle school boy who is trying to live a normal life. Kageyama could bend a spoon and lift things with his mind from a young age, but he slowly began to withhold from using his ability in public due to the negative attention he keeps receiving. Now in middle school, the only thing he wants is to become a friend with this girl in his class, Tsubomi. Together with his mentor, Reigen, he continues to live his daily life, attempting to realize his purpose in life and learning to love himself.
Mob Psycho 100 was undoubtedly one of the best anime to have come out in the 2010s. The anime has been continuously praised for its stellar animation and its brilliant writing.
The story’s heart lies in its protagonist Shigeo Kageyama and his kind compassionate nature. The anime holds a special place in the hearts of its fans for its simpler but more non-conventional approaches.
Where other anime might go down in a more black and white way, the show appeals to the good in every human’s heart and approaches the power of empathy and kindness without sacrificing the main needs of the narrative and the story.
Its unique art style and the staff’s passion and love for this series have resulted in some of the most mesmerizing action sequences of the past few years.
Mob Psycho 100 has also been adapted into a 12-episodes long Japanese TV Drama series which is available to watch on Netflix.
