- ekianjo 13y agoWell, it's just a fiction so you can't expect it to be super realistic either, but it gives insights as to why the main character ended up this way. I don't think it replaces a proper study of the phenomenon but it's a good place to start with to become acquainted with the everyday life of these people.

- rjh29 13y agoOne of its central points is that NEETs are often supported by their parents, and once this (financial) support is removed, they are forced to recover. I can't really agree with that, as it's a psychological problem.
- winter_blue 13y agoThis was juiciest episode in the series. I couldn't help but smile when the financial support was withdrawn.
