Main Characters

Shigeo Kageyama (Mob) is a second-year junior high school student with strong psychic powers, commonly known as "Mob". He's not good at reading the mood of the situation and is not good at talking, but he respects Reigen, who gave him advice when he was worried about the dangers of his psychic powers, and calls him his "master". In addition, due to his past exploits, he has been made the leader of the Psycho Helmet cult, and delinquents fear him and call him "White T Poison", but he doesn't seem to mind at all.

Reigen Arataka is a self-proclaimed psychic who runs a "Spirit Consultation Office," but he himself has no psychic powers and usually just talks his clients into it with his eloquent skills. When he is faced with a situation that he cannot solve, he calls his assistant Mob and leaves it to him to solve, but he also watches over Mob more closely than anyone else and provides him with mental support. After the incident at the 7th branch of "Tsume," he is now able to see the high-ranking evil spirit Dimples.

Dimples is a high-ranking evil spirit with a grand ambition to become the supreme leader of all things. He can take over the body of any human he possesses and control them at will. He once encountered Mob when he was starting up a dubious religious organization called "(LOL)" and saw him as "the man who will become God" and began to work with him ever since. Although he is always looking to seize the great powers that Mob possesses, he also lends Mob a hand when necessary, and is a surprisingly good guy who doesn't quite become evil.

Kageyama Ritsu is Mob's younger brother, a student council member who excels at sports and excels at school. He is one year younger than his brother. His personality is also the polar opposite of his brother, and he is very sociable. However, after witnessing Mob's psychic powers going out of control as a child and being seriously injured, he has been scared of his brother deep down, but at the same time he secretly admires him. When the student council president, Kamuro, orchestrates a school reform, Kageyama's psychic powers, which had never been shown before, awaken, and he shows his reliable side by supporting his unreliable brother from behind the scenes.

Hanazawa Teruki is a psychic who once stood in Mob's way as the secret leader of Kurozu Junior High School. However, he has a slightly embarrassing habit of standing with his legs crossed when using his powers. After his battle with Mob, he has grown mentally, and when Ritsu was kidnapped by the "Claws", he infiltrated the Seventh Branch with Mob, and together they played a fierce battle with the executives, playing a major role. Since that incident, he has had a friendly and respectful relationship with Mob, and is a good rival. His nickname is "Teru".

Onigawara Tenga is a delinquent student who even the student council has their eye on, earning him the nickname "Demon Tenga." However, he is surprisingly serious at heart, never arriving late or missing school, and once served as the head of Shio Junior High School, but after being framed by the student council president, Kamuro, he completely reformed. He also became friends with the members of the Body Modification Club during that time, and today he trains hard.

Yonezato Ichi is a member of the newspaper club and a classmate of Mob. He always carries a digital camera with him, and his goal is to get a big scoop. He first interacted with Mob while infiltrating the religious group "(lol)" to cover the matter, and realized that Mob had psychic powers. He approached Mob to uncover his secret. He plots to get Mob to run for student council president, but...

Tome Kuroda is the head of the Nosokan Radio Wave Club. She is one of the people who noticed Mob's abilities, and they often go out together on their days off to search for telepaths.

Tsubomi is a childhood friend and classmate whom Mob has a crush on. Her charming appearance has made her the "school idol" of everyone. Mob joins the Body Modification Club in an attempt to impress her, and is persuaded by Yonezato Ichi to run for student council president... But does she notice Mob's pathetic efforts to get her attention?
