Spring of Youth Arc
Chapters 1 to 4

Synopsis
We are introduced to Shigeo Kageyama and Arataka Reigen, the main protagonists of the series. While Mob, the naturally born esper, is looking for his purpose in life, Reigen is trying to use Mob's power to fuel his own business, the "Talk About Spirits Agency". Meanwhile, the Telepathy Club at Salt Middle School, which Mob is attending, is about to be disbanded unless they find another member. Tome Kurata, the club president, is ultimately unable to convince Mob who ends up joining the Body Improvement Club instead. The Telepathy club is dissolved, but they are still allowed to meet in the Body Improvement Club room, as they only needed it for storage.

(LOL) Cult Arc
Chapters 5 to 9

Synopsis
In an effort to become popular, Mob is invited to a cult meeting of a religious organisation known as (LOL). Lord Dimple, the leader of the cult, used psychic powers to compel his followers to laugh. Ichi Mezato, a member of the journalist club, wished to report on the activities of (LOL) so she went down to one of the meetings; while there, Dimple used his powers to make her laugh. He then moved on to Mob, but was unable to compel to him laugh causing his followers to start voicing their concerns. After a quick staring contest which Mob won effortlessly, Mob destroyed the atmosphere Dimple had made using his psychic powers. Dimple caused Mob to reach an emotional peak by trying to forcibly make him laugh, and to assert his position as strongest. Mob, in his anger, destroyed Dimple, only for the latter to show up on the next day to follow Mob, for the purpose of using Mob's powers to make him a god to the common people. Mob was absolutely opposed, on the assertion that psychic power didn't make people any better than others.

In the aftermath, the former (LOL) cultists decided to form a cult around Mob instead, after witnessing his power.

Teruki Hanazawa Arc
Chapters 10 to 19

Synopsis
After losing to the Urabanchou of another middle school, Onigawara attempted to get the Body Improvement Club to help him fight. The Body Improvement Club was solidly against needless violence and refused. Onigawara then orchestrated a plan in which Mob was captured by the opposing middle school and the Body Improvement Club came to his rescue, thereby fighting the opposing school's delinquents. However, Teruki Hanazawa, a natural esper and the Urabanchou of Black Vinegar middle school, defeated the Body Improvement Club effortlessly. He, unlike Mob, lived his life through his psychic powers and was disgusted at Mob's outlook on living. Teru was threatened by the idea that the one thing that set him apart from everyone else was no longer unique, and proceeded to attack Mob to no avail. Dimple tried to stop this fight but was nonchalantly wiped out by Teru.

Teru tried to force Mob to use his psychic powers and, in the process, accidentally had the top of his head shaved off by a knife that Mob's barrier had deflected. Angered, Teru strangled Mob knocking the latter unconscious and, in this state, Mob's power acted on its own (hinted by "???%") utterly defeating Teru and destroying the entire school building. Mob eventually came to his senses and put the school back together in a display of regret and sadness. This event was used by the Psycho Helmet Cult as material with which to worship their yet unknown leader.

Mob and Emi went out, but it turned out she only went along because of a lost bet. When Emi was getting teased by her friends, Mob stood up for her and fixed her torn apart manuscript, ending the mini-arc with Tsubomi looking up stating "that wasn't so bad".
