Haven't been a NEET for over 5 years now but can still relate to a lot of the stuff in this series and I agree that you really should get a job, it'll help alleviate your anxiety and help you get along better with your parents (especially if you move out). If you live on welfare you should also take into consideration the unethical in forcefully living on others' hard work through the state, since I'm sure that the people forced to pay your bills doesn't consent but still have to do so since they'll be thrown in jail by the politicians if they don't.

Take a shitty job and use the credentials you get there to move your way up until you're at a good workplace, that's what I did. Though if you live in a country with very low minimum wage (like the US) you should probably try to pick up a trade, will earn you a lot more money that unqualified labor and unlike college wont cost a fortune and might give you a worthless degree. Seen a lot of people (online) who spent 100-200k on college to get a degree in like arts and history, and when they graduate they can't find a job in their field and have to work minimum wage while trying to pay back the loan and end up in a worse position than any NEET here. Electrician would be a pretty good bet, and if you become good at what you do you have the option of going independent later so quite a lot of possibilities in that field.

I can't really relate to this except to the thing that you just stop caring. When I see people rushing to work outside in jammed traffic at 7am when I'm going to sleep I just feel sorry for them and wish I will never have to go through that

I wish the author released chapters more frequently. It’s such a fun little manga.

I stopped being a NEET a couple of years ago but it hurts of how much I can relate. I have a good friend that I hang out with every time she is back in the city. Even now, I feel bad she has spent money and taken me to many places.... I go to college now but it's extremely slow.... Mostly because of my ADHD and anxiety.... I'm getting help but yeah;;;

Tbh, I was going to joke around about how Neeko can become her friend's housewife but- I think it's more of Neeko having to take years of therapy.

I'm not sure if I should read this as a comedy or a tragedy. It looks like a comedy on the surface, and has plenty of funny moments too, but it can quickly get really dark and depressing too.

Wow so cute, pure and innocent in college, becoming a neet has kinda corrupted her, lost that pureness or maybe it's carefreeness and free spirit. She's clearly chained down now..

...you can really tell her lack/loss of confidence.. i guess i can relate since I'm the same.. only difference is that i never had any since i was a kid.

It's painful.. this manga is the bane of millenials. A silent scream of suffering...

Whew, I don't know why I'm still reading this, it's dredging up all kinds of bad memories.

Page 13 hit especially hard. I'm glad she didn't actually say it, because that would have been like a hammer on Neeko. That's all stuff Neeko already knows. Having a friend tell her wouldn't push her forward, it would only prove to her that her fears about her friends thinking she's worthless are true. She would just self isolate even further.

I agree with the comments... this is painful... especially because I can relate

Truth hurts, at the same time this should be enough motivation to move on at anything in your life.

You sound like you've fallen victim to conservative brainwashing.
