Riza misquotes Shakespeare at one point in the manga and it got me thinking about what kind of plays they’d like
I've had this ageswap story in my head where as a kid Reigen jumps in the middle of the street to save a dog and he meets Mob when Mob shows up to save Reigen (and the doggo) from oncoming traffic. So Reigen stalks Mob to the office and he's genuinely a good kid because little Reigen thinks it's the coolest thing to help people with your powers and Mob acknowledges this and agrees to take him on as his student
Whoa, its been a wonderful ride reading the REIGEN manga from start to finish. Thanks so much to the team of @reigenscans that worked really hard and did an amazing job <3
Ive been following the discussion on reddit about the last chapter of the Reigen manga. While many here on tumblr and reddit liked the chapter, some people thought it felt a bit off. On reddit, treehouseclimber_ made an interesting post about how Reigens character arc felt unresolved in the end. I replied, going by “framedarcanes” on reddit, but thought I could post a more elaborated reply here too.
So, where does Reigen find himself at the end of chapter 7? I thought id share my view on it.
Long analysis under the cut ! 😊 (my first one too .___.)
Keep reading
i seriously hate that one of the main symbols of reigen's kindness and selflessness is his goddamn feet
[id: four pages of the mob psycho manga.
toichiro says "you understand? ...i can't sense a thing from you. maybe you're related to this boy..." reigen looks at him angrily as he continues to say, "but you should stay back if you hold dear to your life."
a closeup of reigen's feet as he steps toward toichiro
mob says "i will stop you." shigeo looks over his shoulder and says "no one can stop me." another closeup of reigen's feet stepping forward
???% stares forward intensely, reigen looks scared, and then a panel of reigen holding his shoes in a trembling hand
a closeup of reigen's feet with the sound effect "shwoo." tome looks up in horror as reigen faces away with rusty-sama attached to him.

Throughtout the time Reigen knew Mob, he bought books so he could better understand him and be prepared to answer his questions/help him out(While maintaining the façade that he is the master in that field).
But it wasn’t only though books...
Reigen also trained his body so he could better understand/help Mob who was doing the same with the Body Improvment Club. Reigen maybe a con artist, but at the end of the day, he never wanted to be unable to answer one of Mob’s questions or be unable to offer him help because he knew Mob needed him and also that he thought the world of him. So much so in fact...
While it’s not exactly stated, but rather shown, Reigen is a smoker, something that he does his best to hide from Mob because he doesn’t want to instill such a habit to him. But despite the con man he is, and all of what I just mentioned
Reigen still wants Mob to be all he can be, his own man, away from Reigen.
Back on my kageyama parents love, Reigen is an honorary member of the kageyama family and noone can convince me other wise 😤
don't mind me just going a bit insane. anyway GREAT WRITING
