DRIVE LINK HERE to the official mob psycho 100 fanbook!
as far as i can find, there's not been any comprehensive scans of the fanbook put up online, at least on the english-speaking internet. soooo since there's all sorts of fun stuff in it (character birthdays! character & creator q&a's! who would be most likely to survive on a desert island! guest art by other manga authors (the one in the upper left there is by the creator of FMA)!) i wanted to make sure everybody who wants to could see it!
more info under the cut. enjoy!
5x7", scanned at 300dpi in jpg format. exact pixel dimensions differ slightly due to how my scanner's auto-crop works.
the images uploaded are exactly as they were scanned, no image editing save for cropping. they could use some editing to be more presentable (levels adjustment to bring the darks down, more saturation on the color pages, & a teensy bit of rotation/adjustment) but i wanted to upload the untouched files. i might create a new drive with cleaned-up versions at some point.
i claim no ownership over these images, please feel free to do whatever you like with them, share em, edit em, and so on, no attribution necessary.
i bought my copy from hiro_shop_japan on ebay, if anybody wants to get their own.
these are obviously untranslated- some awesome folks have scanned & translated parts of the book (particularly the qnas). you can find those here! there's also a twitter thread of translated bits from 4chan, but i can't seem to find that one at the moment.
Always love the interpretations of Claw as a serious, horrifying group who was responsible for severe long-lasting damage (it's a terrorist organization, after all), but I also wish people recognized it was badly administered in almost stupid levels because not only it is fun: it only enhances how awful it was!
Claw was structured specifically to attract powerhungry and deeply immature individuals, since this is the only type of person that finds it sensible to destroy society and make espers stand on top. Claw didn't have a strong ideology to guide its members besides "esper = good". Claw didn't have a focus besides creating a huge mass of strong espers to take over everything by force, because no one ever stopped to think "who would keep society running if not normal people?". What happens? Constant infighting because most of these idiots believe they have the right of being the leader. The organization only didn't crumble on itself because it worked by a "might makes right" logic and Toichiro was stronger than everybody there.
How did such a pathetic organization keep existing for 20 years? That's the dreadful core of it all. Claw only could sustain itself despite its members' overwhelming incompetence and amateurish lack of foresight because it preyed on vulnerable people. No functional member of society mattered to them. It was the cult victims, it was the lonely and misunderstood, it was the children. People who didn't have anything else - or better put, couldn't defend themselves. That's the lifeforce of the organization, because Claw couldn't depend on mature citizens to give them money and soldiers. Of course they had to target the "weak", of course. It was not like they could face anyone else either way. That above all is what makes it such a deplorable group.
