Mob Psycho 100 (モブサイコ100)

Look, Tsubomi.

When you make frogs float, they start swimming.

Wow, how cute.

I can make the bar all squishy.

You're amazing, Mob.

That's the evening chime. Let's go home.

That was so much fun!

Oh... it was just a dream.

Mob 1 ~Moving~

Happy New Year!

Did you go somewhere during break?

My grandma's place.

Did you finish it?

Yeah, I did.

Happy New Year.

We start the third term today.

I'll be collecting your homework from winter break

after the opening assembly today.

You all need to get over the winter-break slump

and start studying for your entrance exams.

Make sure you all work hard together while you're still classmates.

Oh, the class shuffles.

Maybe when I become a third-year, I'll be in the same class as Tsubomi.

Oh, I have one more announcement to make.

Tsubomi Takane from Class 2-3 will be moving next month.

What?

Huh? Moving...?

Wait, what?

This is so sudden that my head can't keep up.

What?

I mean, I was planning to tell her how I feel after entrance exam season was over.

But... I mean... I was still supposed to have another year...

No, really, wait...

I haven't... I haven't even gotten to do anything yet.

Nothing's... happened.

I need to... ask her out.

What's the matter, Kageyama? Did you forget your homework?

Uh, no...

Oh, right...

Mob feels a certain way about Takane.

But...

I need to ask her out...

She's the top idol at this school.

How are you gonna take on all of these rivals, Mob?

A-Ask her out?!

Yes...

Are you sane, Kageyama?!

So...

I was hoping you could tell me your experiences,

or how to make sure I don't upset her...

Advice like that!

Experiences?

Kageyama!

You're the shadow leader at Salt Middle!

Grow a pair! Show her what White T Poison's made of!

Sorry?

Er, just... You know...

Show her White T Poison's... uh, made of...

Kageyama... Take off your clothes.

Huh? Okay.

Ow...

You're developing some excellent muscles there!

The experience you're looking for has accumulated in those!

We're seeing the fruits of your labor!

I'm sure that the person you have in mind will tell you

that your muscles are worthy!

Thank you very much!

Let us also strive for new heights and train!

Yeah!

Body Improvement!

Fight on! Fight on! Fight on! Fight on!

Um...

Could I get some advice on asking her out...?

I'd really appreciate it...

Um...

Like the Brainwave Club could actually give you advice about asking someone out.

Oh, good point.

Uh, hello?!

But man, I can't believe Takane is moving.

I've had a crush on her for a while.

Maybe I'll try asking her out, too.

Takenaka, are you planning on reading Tsubomi's mind?

That would never work for too long,

and I don't plan on taking out my earplugs.

But if you read a girl's mind, you could be super popular...

according to Tome.

What the heck would President Kurata know about how a girl feels?

Okay, that's enough, you two!

You sure are running your mouths while I was frozen

trying to figure out what the heck's going on.

You're asking her out?

Mob, are you seriously serious about it this time?

Yes.

I see. All right, then.

I'll give you a piece of very good advice.

You should definitely change up your hairstyle!

I'll keep the rest of what I want to say to myself!

Sorry, we can't really offer advice, so we'll just support you from afar.

I wish you the best.

You've got this, Kageyama!

Um, Tsubomi...

I wanted to talk to you about something. Is that okay?

I love you...

I love you, Tsubomi. Please go out with me!

I'm sorry.

But why?

Oh, do I really need to tell you the reason?

I mean, I have absolutely no interest in you...

Sorry!

Jeez... There's still that many?

I don't even know most of these people.

What a pain.

What are you doing, Mob?

Takane's not in class anymore.

Oh! Did she go home already?

I see... She went home...

Then, I guess I'll just have to give up for today.

Oh, well. I'll just have to try another day...

She's behind the school.

Behind the school? What's she doing there?

While you've been wasting your time here,

all the other boys have been asking her out.

Say what now?

I better go...

If you go right now, she's gonna reject you!

It's like some weird factory assembly line that's producing a bunch of broken-hearted lads.

You'll just get caught up in all that, and she'll say no to you, too.

Mezato...

Do you think I should cut my hair?

Huh? Wait, why your hair?

What kind of guys do girls like?

He's starting to consider more than just "work out"!

First, you need to be a gentleman.

You should always mind your manners around all of your girl classmates.

Also, you need to be considerate.

You need to be dependable, lend an ear to her problems,

and make her think she can talk about anything.

If you can be that accepting,

you might just be able to handle Takane, as well.

I'd be able to handle her?

Yeah.

It seems as though most of the guys just like her because of her appearance,

but I'm pretty sure she's hiding how she really feels.

It'll be up to you to be able to handle who she really is.

Though, I honestly don't know what the big fuss is over Takane.

Huh?

I mean, she doesn't seem to trust anyone at all.

I'm pretty sure she has no interest in other people.

How do you know that?

You can tell just by seeing how she acts every day.

Actually, how can you not tell?

You should learn to view other people from a different angle every now and then.

Say, Mob...

What exactly do you like about her?

So... You couldn't respond to that question,

you couldn't go behind the school, and you can't fully concentrate on work.

Come on, now, Mob.

Don't go bringing this puppy love nonsense to work.

Of course middle schoolers fall in love just by appearances.

I understand why you want to believe you're different,

but in the end, men are simple creatures.

Am I right, Serizawa?

Er, I didn't go to school, so I'm not sure.

You must've at least had a girl you liked.

No... I can't say that there was.

Not even one?

Come on, don't be bashful at your age.

No, wait. Are you actually serious?

I'm honestly envious that you have someone you like.

If your feelings for her don't change, despite what anyone says...

that means your feelings are true, right?

Then I don't think you have to put your reasoning into words.

Yes, exactly! That's exactly what I was trying to say!

What's important is not what you like about her...

it's if you truly like her or not!

If you're nervous about this, then tell us how you really feel.

We'll hear you out.
