The manga also explores his relationships with other characters, including Mob, his clients, and rival psychics, highlighting his ability to navigate complex social dynamics.
The plot is structured around episodic cases, each presenting a unique supernatural challenge that Reigen must address. These cases range from exorcising spirits to debunking fraudulent psychics, showcasing his ingenuity and problem-solving skills. Interspersed with these episodic adventures are moments of introspection, where Reigen reflects on his role as a mentor and the ethical implications of his actions.
