THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


100 MOB PSYCHO

From the man who brought you ONE PUNCH MAN and by association its EXTREMELY GORGEOUS REDRAWN VERSION comes 100 MOB PSYCHO. We decided to make it its own thread so that people could find it without risking spoilers for Onepunch-Man if they want to stick to Murata's extremely gorgeous redrawn version.




What the gently caress is this ugly rear end thing you may be asking. It's great is what it is. ONE's art leaves something to be desired but his characters are top notch. 100 Mob Psycho is the story of the titular Mob, AKA Shigeo, a psychically gifted boy in the springtime of his youth as he battles weird monsters and weird jerks alike. Mostly weird jerks.

IMPORTANT CHARACTERS



MOB aka SHIGEO



TSUBOMI, a girl that Mob has a crush on.




The TELEPATHY CLUB, a group of students who seek to gain the powers of telepathy.



REIGEN, Mob's mentor/employer, AKA the best drat character in the series



Evil spirit CEILING CHALLENGER! Who is he? What does he want?



Read it on Kissmanga or Batoto or whatever reader you prefer.

That's largely because the translators caught up to the latest release. So now it's a weekly wait or so.

Reigen really is the best character. 100 Mob Psycho has great humor, but it also conveys sincere messages/feelings at the right moments.

Started reading yesterday, up to chapter 56 now, and Reigen is easily the best character in this series. :allears:

I really like how, while One Punch Man is a parody of the typical shounen fighting series, Mob Psycho is more of a satire, so while they both do functionally the same thing with very similar premises, they still manage to maintain their own identities and tone. You can tell ONE really has a lot to say about shounen manga, at least.

It's hard to call one "better" then the other, though, if only because neither one is finished, and they're both being worked on at the same time so that's a tough argument to make.

Hell yes, about time this got a thread.

There was a certain point where it dragged a little, seeming a bit more like a standard shounen thing with ONE art (when they get kidnapped by that psychic group), but then Reigen arrived on the scene and everything was good again. Best Character.

EDIT: Wow, that last chapter. Where are the muscles that you trained?

You should also check out Makai no Ossan / Old Man of the Underworld. It's ONE's (finished) slice of life gag comic about a family of demons and their businessman father.

How regularly does this manga update? I just caught up and I am on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what happens next.

Also, What happened to the curse that was placed on Reigen? Has that been forgotten about, or has it yet come into to play?

And yeah.
His usual exploitation of Mob went a bit too far. He's really taking him for granted.

That, and I have a feeling Mob is starting to come into his own, is starting to have friends and a life rather than just be a loner with no backbone, which isn't what Reigan is used to

Just got to Reigen vs. the Devourer. Reigen has a solution for every situation, doesn't he?

EDIT: Even the one he got himself into now... probably.

come on. It isnt lovely.
Its perfect for the series.

Also ONE is actually really good since he has a mastery of good composition. All Murata had to do was pretty much add detail and better drawing to Onepunchman. Its almost a Frame for Frame trace.

Being good at composition does not mean his art is good. Saying it is perfect for this series is really weird too, like you are reaching for some way to defend it but can't.
