Mob Psycho 100 may have originally ended its run in 2017, but the series creator ONE has been gifting facts with more new art on Twitter. Both works show off a nice side of the central characters, Mob, Reigen, and former foe turned ally Dimple.

The first piece of Art showing a nervous Mob listening to one of Reigen's schemes:

Reigen usually doesn't come up with wholesome schemes were Mob was unwittingly strung along, and by the looks of his face here definitely is a more crooked plan than not.

The second sketch shows off an embarrassed Mob, most likely pining over his crush, while Dimple watches from the side.

When Mob first met with Dimple, things were a lot different than their relationship now. Wanting to be worshipped as a god, he starts a cult in hopes to get people to do so. One day, Mob is surprisingly brought to a cult meeting and resulting fallout led to Mob's defeat of Dimple, who takes on the muscular form shown in the preview. After this fight, Dimple reappears as a wistful spirit who then follows Mob around and constantly annoying him.

The currently running live-action series stars Kazuki Namioka as Reigen, Tatsuomi Hamada as Mob, and Yuki Yoda as Tsubomi. The series is directed by Koichi Sakamoto while Reiko Yoshida and Kei Kunii are handling the scripts for the series. The series also premiered on Netflix Japan January 12. The series has also inspired a stage play in Japan that actually stars Mob's voice actor from the anime series, Setsuo Ito, as the lead.

If you are not familiar with Mob Psycho 100, then you can still catch up on the supernatural series. The story was crafted by One, a webcomic artist best-known for creating One Punch Man. The comic started in April 2012, and Bones adapted part of its into an anime series in July 2016.

Mob Psycho 100 tells the story of Seigeo Kageyama, an eighth grader with Esper ability. The psychic tries his best to not stand out, but his powers often rope him into increasingly dangerous situations. Kageyama's powers grow more powerful as the years pass, so he buckles down his emotions to keep a lid on his powers. However, as more threats continue to pursue Kageyama, the boy learns how difficult it is to keep his emotions under lock - but the fate of the world depends on him keeping a straight face.
