The original manga creator ONE (One-Punch Man) launched the Mob Psycho 100 series on Ura Sunday in 2012 and later in Shogakukan’s MangaOne app in 2014.
Voice actor Setsuo Ito will star in the play as Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama, reprising his role from the manga’s television anime adaptation.
The anime adaptation of ONE’s original manga premiered in Japan in July 2016 and Crunchyroll streamed the series with English subtitles as it aired in Japan.
The manga is also inspiring a live-action drama starring Tatsuo Hamada in January.
