A middle schooler trying so hard to be normal that he's weaponized emotional repression, and the show treats that like the actual horror it is. The comedy lands because it's rooted in real teenage desperation, the yearning, the shame, the crushing ordinariness of wanting to belong, not just punchlines bolted onto fight scenes. Animation that moves with purpose: every frame of Mob's internal devastation costs something, every psychic eruption feels earned instead of recycled. Early episodes meander, but by the time his powers stop being the joke and start being the consequence, you're watching something that understands what it means to feel too much in a world that demands you feel nothing.

Eighth grader Shigeo Kageyama is a psychic prodigy living a deliberately ordinary life. Powerful telekinetic abilities flow through him, but he's chosen anonymity over spectacle, earning the nickname "Mob" because he never stands out. Holding his powers back, he uses them only to amuse his longtime crush Tsubomi, who soon tires of the same tricks. The problem is his emotions. If Mob's feelings reach one hundred percent, his vast potential could run wild and set off a cataclysm that would leave him completely unrecognizable. Hoping to learn control, he works under Arataka Reigen, a self-proclaimed psychic with no real powers who cashes in on Mob's abilities for small sums, so driving out evil spirits has become part of the boy's dull routine. The result mixes supernatural action and comedy with slice-of-life drama.
