The first panel reads, "Everyday, Hanazawa Teruki..."

The three panels below it split the paper in thirds. The left column reads "yesterday", the middle "Today", and the right "tomorrow"

Under today and yesterday are images of teru in bed at 6:00 on thursday and friday, respectively. he is not wearing a wig. under tomorrow, he lies in bed at 11:57 on saturday. in all three he is frowning. underneath all three, a text box reads "wakes up alone,"

Under yesterday is an image of some mob-o's cereal ("the easy cereal"), under today is an image of a mobdonalds takeout bag, and under tomorrow is an image of a hand reaching for a granola bar. underneath all three, a textbox reads, "eats breakfast alone,"

Under yesterday is an image of teru walking in the sun with a frown on his face, under today is a closer up image of teru walking in the sun with a frown on his face. underneath both of them, a textbox reads "and walks to school alone". Under tomorrow is an even closer up image of teru in bed at 14:22 on saturday, with a frown on his face. text below reads "or finds something else to do alone."

Under yesterday is an image of a kid saying, "you're so cool, teru!" and under today is an image of a different kid saying, "Please go out with me, Teru!" Underneath both is the text, "He has friends..." Under tomorrow, is an image of Teru standing alone, above the text "just not ones he sees outside of school."

Under yesterday is an image of a flip phone saying "Mom: We're so proud of you Teru!" and under today is two pictures hanging on the wall, one of a younger teru and his parents, and one of just his parents. below both are the words "He has parents..." Under tomorrow is an image of 5 letters, reading: "We promise!", "We'll visit!", "Next year!", "Soon!", "Soon!" Underneath is the text, "just not ones he sees ever."

Under yesterday is an image of an open freezer with a bunch of frozen food (mostly pizzas). Under today is an image of a mob-way eat-fresh bag. Under tomorrow is an image of Teru lying in bed at 18:57 on Saturday, with his stomach rumbling. Under all three is the text, "He eats dinner alone."

Under yesterday, today, and tomorrow, are three images of the same tv, all displaying the movie title "Flying Dead Pig." Underneath all three is the text, "He watches movie alone" with an "s" at the end of "movie" crossed out.

A textbox says "He's done this every day for years, but every once in a while, his life gets exciting."

The three columns are now labeled "Age 10"- above an image of Teru standing over a dead adult with a broken window in the background- "Last week"- above an image of Teru wrapping his own injured arm using a first aid kit- and "The rest of his life, probably"- above an image of Teru standing, fists raised and glowing with power as he says "Try me."

A textbox reads, "Hanazawa Teruki is safe alone, because he's the strongest. He always has been, and he always will be."

INVITE! Part 7 of my AU comic where Teru is stronger than Mob, but also works with just regular canon. aka the one where i drew half a page, couldn't think of a conclusion, and then forgot about it for months before giving it the most no-thought conclusion i possibly could've.

i need to figure out how to draw shoes oh my god.

In panel 1, Mob, in his school uniform, says, "So, Ritsu told me you were at our house last weekend."

In panel 2, Teru, also in his school uniform and visibly nervous, replies "Ah, yeah... So, um, I..."

In panel 3, Mob says, "If you would like to spend time together, 3o'clock really isn't ideal for me."

Panel 4 has Teru looking completely blanked faced while text reads, "...Teru.exe has stopped responding" in a typewriter-inspired font.

Panel 5 has Mob slightly smiling and saying, "Right now would be okay, if that works for you. I don't work today."

Panel 6 has Teru smiling. A thought bubble reads, "This is the first time HE'S invited ME to do something together!" He says out loud, "Right now is great!"

Panel 7 has a descriptor reading "1 hour later" and shows Teru and Mob holding video game controlers and sitting on the Kageyams's couch. Teru looks satisfied, Mob looks like he's concentrating (I hope).

None of this is drawn well.

mob psycho 100 au where Teru is stronger than mob. Mob still is crazy strong, still has ???% when he’s unconscious, still explodes, still hurt ritsu, still works with reigen. But Teru is just a bit stronger.

When they fight, Teru still chokes mob to the point of unconsciousness, but when mob starts to destroy the school, Teru keeps him and his powers contained.

Teru keeps the assurance he so desperately needs that he is the strongest esper out there, and now has his questions to ask mob. Has claw come after mob at all? How do mob’s parents treat him? Mob’s just some kid, pacifistic and weaker than Teru, and very suddenly Teru wants to keep him safe from claw at any cost.

Meanwhile, after years of being afraid of his powers, afraid he’ll lose consciousness and hurt someone, mob’s found someone who can stop his explosions.

They both glue themselves to each others side very quickly.

Edit: someone please come talk to me about this in my dms

Edit 2: I made a comic about this idea! here's part 1!

I thought I did image id's previously, but I have no idea where they went.

Panel 1 is the back of Ritsu's head as he tells Mob and Teru that, "Sorry I can't hang out with you and Hanazawa, brother, I'm busy with something."

Panel 2 is a torn piece of notebook paper, titled "Reasons Why Kageyama Ritsu Hates Hanazawa Teruki." Underneath is an illegible list.

Panel 3 is of Mob with marks around his neck saying, "I'm fine, Ritsu. Below is a part of the notebook paper that reads, "1. The day they met, Shige came home with bruises."

Panel 4 is of Teru saying, "Your brother and I will be the strongest ever!" above a notebook paper saying, "2. Just using Shige for his power."

Panel 5 is of Mob saying, "Hanazawa showed me his closet today. He owns a lot of stuff he never wears." Below the notebook reads, "3. He's a very fake person."

Panel 6 is of Teru saying, "It's *good* for your brother to have a friend like me" above the paper reading "4. He's rude."

Panel 7 is of Teru saying, "And then I scored the winning goal!" with an arrow indicating he's been talking for 2 hours. It's above a notebook paper reading "He talks too much."

Panel 8 is of Teru and the Kageyama family around the Kageyama's table (I forgot to draw food oops). Teru says, "Thanks for having me over." Ritsu says, "Again." Mrs. Kageyama says, "You're welcome anytime!"

At the bottom is a thought bubble reading, "This is identical to my list for Reigen."

yall this comic is so low budget i stole this pen from my workplace

image id under the cut

image id:

the first 8 panels are of mob, saying (1) "I made a friend, I think." (2) "We fought at his school. I lost." (3) "He can contain my powers." (4) "A few days after that, he showed up at my school." (5) "We spend a lot of time together now, and it's mostly nice." (6) But he's still running a gang." (7) I don't like that he hurts people, but I don't think that I can stop him." (8) "So, shishou, what should I do?"

The ninth panel is of a very sweaty reigen, with thought ellipses going through his head.

end id. I'm still new at writing image ids, so let me know if I can do anything better with them!

Panel 1 is of Mob and Teru side by side. A thought bubble from Mob's head reads, "IT's been one week since I exploded at Hanazawa's school, and I think we are... friends now? Asking him if he's wearing a wig would be rude... right?"

Panel 2 is a thought bubble reading, "We walk home from school together." It is above Panel 3, which shows the two walking home from school together as Teru says, "And it's not like Edano was ever good at it anyway..."

Panel 4 is of Teru in a t-shirt with a flower on it saying, "And I know I'm the strongest because I've been in so many fights." It's directly above Panel 5, which is a thought bubble that reads, "Though some things he says are strange."

Panel 6 is a thought bubble that reads, "And he keeps insisting I spar with him." It's directly above Panel 7, which shows from a distance Teru trying to goad Mob into a sparring match. Mob asks, "Is this really necessary?" To which Teru answers, "Of course, Kageyama! We need to make sure you can fight other espers!"

Panel 8 has a thought bubble that says, "I don't like how he hurts people." and is above an image of Mob watching Teru tell a rival middle school gang leader, "Just give up already! You aren't stronger than me!"

Next to that are some speech bubbles saying, "Let's go get snacks together!", "Would you like to have math help from me?", and "I just want you to be safe, Kageyama." Underneath is a thought bubble saying, "Still, it's nice having a friend."

At the bottom is one last thought bubble reading, "I definitely shouldn't ask about the wig, though."

All of this is drawn really badly. Also, I'm new to both comics and image id's so if I can do anything to help accessibility, let me know!

Night Mission! ~Someone is Watching~ Part 6 of my AU where everything is the same except Teru is stronger than Mob. No one can tell me that Teru wouldn't be the type of person to go on a "secret mission" in the middle of the night, main character style, without any real plan. Especially in this AU.

(Originally he was gonna use his powers to ward the place, but then I realized there was no precedent in MP100 for Teru being able to do that (I think???). So half the page was blank for days as I tried to figure out what Teru would do, then it just became Teru not knowing what to do, because I still didn't. Also Ritsu's head is as large as a window in this au, okay.

Image id below the cut!

In the first two panels, a set of eyes looks left and then right. A thought bubble reads, "OKAY. LET'S DO THIS."

The next panel shows the Kageyama house at night with a lone stick figure outside of it. Boxes read, "03:20. Saturday Morning. Kageyama's house."

Below is a drawing of Teru looking anxious with thought bubbles coming off of him, saying "Fuck, I don't know what I'm doing here." "I don't know how to use my powers to ward a building." "I *can't protect him* all the time." "I don't know what to do." Some of the words like "can't do anything" and "can't protect" and "don't know" are repeated around the thought bubbles.

In the bottom right, an open window has Ritsu's face in it, looking irritated. He says, "Hanazawa?! What the hell?!"

Part 2 of the comic set in my AU where teru is stronger than mob. Every once in a while i rediscover that art doesn’t have to be good, and have a great time:)

Panel 1 is a text box reading, "When Kageyama finally fought back and I was still sronger... I thought it would feel good to defeat another natural, to know that I'm the strongest."

Panel 2 is of the confrontation at Black Vinegar Middle School, after Mob is in his ???% form, except this time instead of him destroying the school, Teru is able to contain Mob within Teru's barrier, saying "I don't think so..."

Panel 3 is a text box reading, "But now that's over, and I have so many questions."

Panel 4 has a close-up of Mob saying, "I've never met another ESPER before.*" With an asterisk off to the side clarifying that Reigen is spiritual. It is directly above Panel 5, a text box reading, "Claw hasn't gone after Kageyama, right?"

Panel 6 is a close-up of Mob saying, "I can't today, my parents want me home for dinner." It is directly above Panel 7, a textbox reading, "Is that because he lives with his family?"

Panel 8 is a close-up of Mob in his ???% form, and is directly above Panel 9, a textbox saying "What was that thing that appeared when he passed out?"

Panel 10 is of Mob and Teru standing side by side in their casual clothing. Teru says, "You should really stick with me, Kageyama." To which Mob replies, "Yeah, okay." Teru says, "I'll keep you safe, and we'll be friends." Mob responds, "Alright."

Panel 11 is a text box reading, "...After everything I've done, why is he still spending time with me?"

All of this is drawn really badly. Also, I'm new to both comics and image id's so if I can do anything to help accessibility, let me know!

Idk if this is weird to hop in ur ask box and say but I genuinely loved your mp100 comic so much rly enjoyed the ‘day in the life’ feel it had like you managed to capture the tone of the original manga so perfectly

awww thank you so much!!!! you're getting an info dump about it now:D

i'm still very surprised multiple people like my comic tbh. i'll read comments saying "i like your art style" and think "what art style? i just can't draw". pure luck it kinda looks like the manga. my only real goal with the art of it is to make it so that people know what's going on in each panel (but also i'm not too confident in my ability to do that, so image descriptions!)

i'm also reasonably certain a lot of the people who see one part of the comic don't see the other parts. not really sure if there's something i can do to help that or if that's just how social media works???

the comic isn't finished either! i do actually have kind of a goal for it???? (disclaimer, i don't think i've ever started writing a multichapter fanfic and then also finished writing it)

so the premise is that everything is the same as canon, mob has his same powers as canon, but teruki is just a little bit stronger. so when they fight, and teru knocks mob into ???%, he's also able to contain the explosion.

this basically leaves mob, who's been terrified of his emotions/powers for years now, with someone he knows for a fact can contain them. and teru, who has been fighting off a child-esper kidnapping organization on his own, with another child esper who's weaker than him. teru, who's been holding on to this idea that he's the strongest ever because that's what makes him feel safer, with further evidence that he is in fact the strongest ever.

it's an interesting premise! (slightly inspired by this fic, in which mob ends up at teru's school and teru's his glorious unredeemed self towards him.) (side note, teru has such an interesting redemption arc! usually we see a character do bad things, then we get the rationalization why they do them, then they realize they're wrong, then they start doing better. we don't start to piece together why teru does what he does until quite a while after he realizes he's wrong and starts to change!)

anyway. i think the hardest part of writing this comic is that i have an end goal (teru gets friends and family and isn't quite so scared and relaxes a bit), but i'm not really sure how to get there. i think a lot of it will just end up being slice-of-life teru and shigeo becoming friends while in this strange dynamic.

i also really think that having shigeo (and also reigen) be weaker than teru gives a very unique opportunity to show teru that people who love you don't have to be stronger than you to want to and try to and maybe succeed in protecting you.

thanks for the ask!!!! i'm not gonna apologize for the rambling bc i'm just not gonna this time!
