Food for thought here. Fits in the time of the great resignation.

Thanks for the translation & the bonus pages.

 

[agtra]

I sure didn't expect to be personally attacked by this mango

 

[Mangamoz]

The irony of the artist making a short story about challenging the perception of unemployement in Japan and getting socially dogpiled by the people around them.

 

[Al_Azif]

Bruh, if you're going to be a NEET, at least don't burden your parents.

This anthology is good! Thank you for bring this up! Looking forward to last chapter!

The difference in work culture in Japan/us compared to here in aus is so interesting

Sooo many of the people I know here are in their 20s still living w their parents and nobody ever really has an issue

Are they working though? Neets specifically do not work.

Who wouldn’t become a NEET if you doesn’t get time off for two years and have to work on weekdays.

 

[PinkMage]

The issue of trying to tell a NEET that it's ok is that, if it comes from a working person, it's going to sound incredibly condescending. NEETs don't want, or need, your pity.

 

[SirJames]

I don't get it. Did she quit/lose her job?

 

[darkeden112]

What the fuck is up with those shitty working conditions though? No day offs even on weekends? Not even on Sundays? Where is the life work balance? This is why your population is declining Japan! Let people socialise and have sex (with me).

Yeah, I'm not surprised the author's acquaintance's daughter may not have been too thrilled about this. "Be more prideful of your NEETness"? Probably not the best message to convey or encourage, especially to actual NEETs. But it made for a solid story here, so it all worked out in the end.

Thank you for the translation (I appreciate the typesetter going the extra mile regarding the tweets. The authenticity of them really supplements the overall narrative).

 

[ReaperCreeper]

Hurry up and automate everything so we can all be neets.

 

[AncientWatcher]

Forcing a profession, hobby, or club onto someone is just shitty, regardless of who's doing it.

 

[BakedBanana]

Think this one my favorite chapter.

Being a NEET is quite specifically a modern thing isn't it? Now, being a NEET like she is, i.e not helping her mom around the house us definitely bad but consider traditional households where the women were at home while the men are out to work. Technically the women were NEETs but I'm sure no one would label them as such. I'm not talking about housewives, that's a bit like its own job in a way. Traditionally in my country it is the right upon a man's daughters, mother, and both paternal and maternal aunts to seek a place to live, food, clothes and such from him and he must provide best he can for them.

So it'd be common in said households for there to be these women who in every sense of the word is not in education, employment, or training. Unless you consider it training to care for household affairs just without a certificate. And for these women people don't degrade them by calling them NEETs or any such words. Hence again I conclude a NEET is quite specifically a modern thing, being a NEET is neat isn't it?
