Kameda posted on his Twitter, saying that he ended his work year with the visual. He also stated that he will be busy in the next year, but that his first Omikuji of the year (traditional Japanese fortune-telling method) signaled good fortune. He looks forward to starting work on the third season of Mob Psycho 100.

Mob Psycho 100 manga, by ONE, the author of One Punch Man started serialization in Ura Sunday magazine in 2012. The manga ended in 2017, after 101 chapters, compiled into 16 volumes. Dark Horse licensed the manga for the English market and describes the plot as:

Do you or someone you know need an exorcist who works cheap? Reigen’s your guy! What’s his secret to busting ghosts while keeping prices low? Well, first, he’s a fraud, and second, he pays the guy who’s got the real psychic power—his student assistant Shigeo—less than minimum wage. Shigeo is an awkward but kind boy whose urge to help others and get along with them is bound up with the mental safety locks he’s placed on his own emotions. Reigen knows he needs to exploit Shigeo to stay in business, yet for better or worse he’s also his mentor and counselor. And he also knows whenever the normally repressed kid’s emotions reach level 100, it may unleash more psychic energy than either of them can handle!
