So in Japan, what's the healthcare situation like vis-a-vis therapy? No one has brought that up and someone really really should cause fucking hell this is a disaster.

 

[rudezki]

In Japan there's no welfare, so RIP all the people who can't work I guess.

Anyway, thanks for the translation.

Quite complicated.... feels like even Brazil has a better support for those with limitations.... but f least he is voicing his problems... damn...

 

[jonnywarlock]

Duder really facing down some hard truths. I'm thankful she really is willing to help. I can't stand the thought of them breaking up.

Japans Healthcare system is a you pay 30% of the costs government insurance pays 70%. Unlike the states the Healthcare system is regulated by the government so costs don't balloon.

This includes psychiatric treatment (diagnosis and medical prescriptions) but doesn't cover counseling.

In Japan, mental health issues are heavily stigmatized as being a shame and burden on a family. Even common things like depression are things for one to "overcome on one's own" and not burden others with. Why do you think that "hikikomoris" are a thing in Japan and not really anywhere else. Everywhere else, parents would have dragged their kids out of their rooms and got some help.
The healthcare system is a form of socialized healthcare where the majority of costs are set by the state, but the rest is paid out of pocket or through insurance. Prices are controlled through governing bodies, so it's not a free market free-for-all the way it can be in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_system_in_Japan

?? There's two welfare (social) programs that pay out benefits for disabled people.

Man, buddy looks like he's one step on the grave
Also, good for her, now she's got a job

 

[Bananimal]

Nurse lady is such a good friend, she's a refreshing bastion of logic and practical advice.

 

[SilasMeanQuite]

I won't continue it. Goodbye. And thanks!

 

[Thrembs]

Hell, finding a therapist that has openings is a task in the USA. It’s even harder finding one that takes state insurance. Unless you get a supplementary policy, it’s hard to find one that takes Medicare.
Then you have to find one that’s decent, and then find out if they’re a good fit.

 

[gomichandesu]

Yeah not to mention, with a case as severe as hers, I'm not sure there is any treatment that could really do much. Yeah, therapy might be able to help her cope a little better with some things, but unfortunately what she really needs is people to understand her quirks and not take them personally. That's why it works with Yokoi, he's patient with her (and extremely more patient than the average person would ever be).

As someone with FAR less profound symptoms as her, I appreciate her struggle to enter the job world, bc she's never going to be a "profitable" employee. She has a lot of limitations that most employers wouldn't even humor. I struggle to find a good fit in employment, and I'm someone who is very good at masking and have very few limitations at all. In terms of cut throat capitalism, Saitou is frankly a charity case. She's only ever going to have a stable long term job if she happens to find an employer thats willing to work with her quirks rather than try to "fix" them.

 

[daonewhoisworthy]

Now that’s wtf I’m talking about. Just keep moving forward little by little.

 

[silverpetricof]

I'm happy for Saitou. I know she's gonna do well at this. Seeing her so determined to ease the burden on Yokoi was nice to see.

Thanks for the translation (the way Yokoi looked on page 18 took me aback a bit. Not only does he look like hell it looked like he'd seen it too).

 

[Nyaaa]

I like that the two characters are actual people instead of 2d cutouts.

They're interesting.

Yes, basement dweller incels living with their parents doesn’t exist anywhere, right

Yokoi lookin like David Martinez
