Preliminary (100/109 chp)
Mob Psycho - ONE's Best Work

I'm starting to see Mob Psycho 100 as a trend and it is something that doesn't fit with the series because Mob is a top notch manga.

Mob Psycho 100 tells the daily life of Kageyama, Shigeo, who unintentionally have also telekinetic powers (psychic abilities). As the manga progresses, the reader finds more about his hidden emotions and powers as well has found out about his crush (Tsubomi). He changes the hearts of both friends and foes through his own simplest ways. He also has a psychic "mentor" (who has no psychic powers indeed) named Reigen, Arataka and in the end, he's trying his purpose in life.

If you ever read ONE's previous works then you know what Mob Pyscho 100 represents to the author, as he's trying to make a story flow from the simplest and funniest to the most dramatic, serious and consistent possible. The physical books are actually rich in details and well made during the progression of the plot itself. And with that, comes the unexpected humor. People, in general, don't know how to react when they see a different art style from the "stereotype" and that's really a shame. Yes, I know what you all are thinking right now, that the art is very poorly drawn and that's a reason to drop the series but you are making an enormous mistake because as chapters progress, the art improves significantly and in the end, that's not a reason to give a low score to the art itself. That's even a plus for me because I really like the author art style even though it looks like a 4-year-old sketch, I really think that's remarkable as many manga artists usually use the same way of drawing.

To most readers, it's easy to relate the feelings of most of the characters in the series, including those who made a way into each one's heart. As you may notice, Mob Pyscho 100 it's not the perfect manga, it has poorly written characters and it has mistakes, the big ones but eventually, they grow up has seen in the manga. Some people even switch sides, and several villains show a point in their arguments and views of the world.

I think that Mob Psycho 100 it's manga with the purpose of laughing and not necessarily a shounen type however it has is own action pack while stirring the feelings of Mob as the main character. Many people compare to One Punch Man but that's not even an argument because they have different genres. Mob has a better art and characters are way more developed than the webcomic and in general, Mob Pyscho 100 has an as infinite better story based on their course. Maybe this review will be edit soon or maybe not, we'll see.

Story: 10 | Art: 8 |Character: 10 | Enjoyment: 10
Score: 10

Personal Note: My favorite manga of the author and #1 at my shounen top.
