Arataka Reigen claims to be a psychic, but his work depends on the genuine abilities of eighth-grader Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama. Hoping to gain control of his powers, Mob becomes the con artist’s pupil. Reigen exploits those abilities for small earnings, and exorcising evil spirits settles into a monotonous routine for Mob.
Mob’s psychic gifts emerged early, but recognizing their danger led him to suppress them. He had used them only to impress his longtime crush, Tsubomi, who soon tired of his tricks. Even the energy he now uses for exorcisms represents only a fraction of his potential. With that immense power and his emotions threatening to run wild, Mob is moving inexorably toward a catastrophic eruption that would leave him unrecognizable.
