The story centers on the protagonist Shigeo—nicknamed "Mob"—who appears to be an ordinary boy. However, the anime takes place in a world where spirits unexpectedly manifest in various situations, and Mob has the ability to see, hear, and even touch them. As a child, he suffered an accident that caused him to lose control; using his telekinesis (the ability to move objects with the mind), he ended up injuring his brother. Consequently, he began suppressing his powers to avoid hurting those around him. Yet, this suppression came with a side effect: whenever he reaches his limit (100%), the emotion he is feeling at the moment completely takes over, causing him to act "irrationally" under its sway—whether the emotion is positive, like love or kindness, or negative, like anger or frustration.
However, Mob's most interesting trait is his inability to see the bad side of people in absolutely any situation. Because he is incredibly powerful and virtually invulnerable, he tends to trust others and focus on their positive qualities—even when it seems obvious they are lying. A prime example is his occult mentor, Reigen, a charlatan who makes a living performing spiritual services for people often struggling with unrelated issues; Reigen would help them simply to keep the money coming in. This routine began to change, however, when he met Mob—a genuine psychic capable of solving real problems.
The protagonist's genuine ability to see the good in people is truly striking; it is precisely this trait that allows him to overcome the traumas stemming from his overwhelming powers. Despite being worshipped by others, he never exploited his fame; instead, he simply went about his life, helping everyone he crossed paths with. Through these interactions, he learned to become a better person—not merely a powerful one, but simply a human being.
Over time, he realized that it was not his powers that made him special, but rather his capacity to strengthen bonds with those around him. Despite possessing telekinesis, he joined a fitness club to improve his physique; despite being a psychic, he participated in an occult club where members understood nothing about the subject—and some weren't even interested; despite his immense power, he remained incredibly humble. These contradictions made him not only unique but also a person of pure character.
