What do you do when you don't know how to live with the psychic powers you've had since birth? You find another psychic and ask him for advice, of course.

This is how Mob, a then elementary school kid struggling to accept his own powers, ends up in Reigen's office. Little does he know, Reigen, self-proclaimed world's number one psychic, is actually a fraud, scamming people out of their money, with massages disguised as exorcisms, and throwing a mean punch disguised as a psychic ability.

Throughout the series, Mob, who is now in middle school, accompanies Reigen to help his clients and conduct real exorcisms for him. During the day, he's a normal middle school student, but after school, he works for Reigen, helping him maintain his facade.
