'Mob Psycho 100' manga news update: 'One Punch Man' creator gets another anime adaptation

Japanese artist One, the architect behind the "One Punch Man" fever sweeping both the anime and the manga world, has just reaped another adaptation on his curriculum vitae in the form of "Mob Psycho 100."

According to a footage on YouTube, the reworking of the manga will be spearheaded by director Yuzurua Tachikawa of "Death Parade," which was released in 2015.

BONES Anime Production, the studio responsible for "Fullmetal Alchemist," "Eureka Seven," and "Blood Blockade Battlefront," will release the series under its wing. The anime adaptation will  have Hiroshi Seiko as the series coordinator. Yoshimichi Kameda, who has included on his resume a " television series episodes 13-24," will be in charge of character designs.

The anime's main character Mob, liike others before him who possessed abilities that exceed human capabilities, also cloaks his psychic powers all to himself. According to Manga Helpers, Mob is Kageyama Shigeo, a pre-teen who has withdrawn from using his extraordinary gifts in order to live a normal life. This choice of suppressing his super-human abilities is also triggered by Mob's constant yearning to be friends with a female classmate named Tsubomi. 

Mob constantly regulates those instances when his stress level is heightened because a sudden surge of his adrenaline causes him to explode if he reaches the level of 100 percent.

Prior to the adaptation of "Mob Psycho 100," an online casting of votes was held by Web comic magazine Ura Sunday earlier this year, according to My Anime News Network. The voting demographic of readers were asked on what manga would be the next one to acquire a small screen animated adaptation. One's series earned a second spot while the gladiator-inspired "Kengan Ashura" topped the list. "Hito Kui," a medical thriller, was on third; the horror-fantasy "Helck" gained the fourth spot; while "Ch?eki 339-nen" rounded-up the top five mangas.
