You know, I was wondering because if this manga, how does Japanese society view getting therapy. Manga like these make me wonder, especially since popular media leads me to believe that the Japanese are very secretive about their mental and medical matters. For one, because it's personal, and also because it seems society at large discriminates against people who are handicapped in some way. But then again, I'm just thinking this off the top of my head. I better go read up on the topic more as I'm no expert on the topic.
