Goddamn satou, I was younger than you but now you're younger than me.

My most weirdly relatable event to the anime is there was a shorthair female classmate trying to get me into a pyramid scheme. Having then recently watched this anime I just flatout refused her invitation

The Pain Artist is a dark psychological novel about a young man who, after being abandoned and left homeless, is forced to move in with his invalid grandmother who lives in a gang-infested neighborhood of South Central Los Angeles. Crippled and in constant pain, he becomes a self-described Hikikomori (a Japanese term for young men who withdraw from society to live mostly on the internet). The novel explores the horrific challenges of today’s inner-city youth. From the chilling opening, to the existentially alarming conclusion, the reader is carried along with the protagonist on his journey of learning and self discovery.

It just sounds like an oxymoron, psychopaths by definition have no feelings fear or remorse, and so they thrive outside. They become CEOs and politicians.

But this is obviously the modern day, hollywood definition of psychopath, that's just "someone that makes me feel uncomfortable".

The Quiet one is a 2004 Japanese film about a 18-year old named Kiyoshi who has been living in the kitchen of his parental home for 2 years. His parents cannot seem to get through to him anymore and they are ashamed of him. To the outside world they pretend that he studies abroad. The only person Kiyoshi communicates to is his little sister. On the internet he has contact with youngsters who have all retreated from society and family life. It is with them that he talks about the things that occupy him most, such as drumming, sex, computer games, films, life and death. When Kiyoshi frightens the dinner guests the family is pushed into crisis.

Inspired by the real-life Japanese social phenomenon called hikikomori and the professional “rental sisters” hired to help, Hikikomori and the Rental Sister is about an erotic relationship between Thomas, an American hikikomori, and Megumi, a young Japanese immigrant hiding from her own past. The strange, insular world they create together in a New York City bedroom and with the tacit acknowledgment of Thomas’s wife reveals three human hearts in crisis, but leaves us with a profound faith in the human capacity to find beauty and meaning in life, even after great sorrow. Mirroring both East and West in its search for healing, Hikikomori and the Rental Sister pierces the emotional walls of grief and delves into the power of human connection to break through to the world waiting outside.

The world's second-wealthiest country, Japan once seemed poised to overtake America as the leading global economic powerhouse. But the country failed to recover from the staggering economic collapse of the early 1990s. Today it confronts an array of disturbing social trends, notably a population of more than one million hikikomori: the young men who shut themselves in their rooms, withdrawing from society. There is also a growing numbers of “parasite singles”: single women who refuse to leave home, marry, or bear children.

I know what you mean however you seem to forget that a lot of hikikomori media have shitty endings in Welcome To The NHK. Satou gets out but is still stuck in a rut dead end job at the end while everyone he knew has a wonderful life in Watamote (The anime) Tomoko tries to talk to that one person that actually cared about her but then she has an anxiety attack after accidentally seeing her underwear she runs home back to her room in 100 yen love the main character looses the boxing match at the end and gets the shit kicked out of her i've not once seen a piece of hikikomori media with a positive ending.

Somewhat, but I still think he loves her, I think it's visible in many scenes where he thinks about her. The scene where they stay in the house where Misaki used to live is especially heartwarming. Not to mention he confessed to her during the suicide scene. Sure, it may have been desperation to not make her do it, but to me it really seemed that he meant it.

Then again, I've only seen the Anime, not read the manga or the LN. Apparently Misaki is much more of a bitch in the LN.

Initially, yes, since she wanted someone to depend on her/love her to prove that she is not bad/evil and his stepdad wasn't correct. But in my opinion she does develop some feelings towards Satou when the show progresses, and this shows in many scenes, especially towards the end when they go on a date, and when they stay over the night at the abandoned night.

The people Misaki lives with (Uncle or something like that? Can't remember) even told Satou that She really enjoys his company and is happy with him.

Can't say about the anime, she was quite awful in the manga, her motivations were not as "well meaning" as she tried to appear, mostly socially inept too, hating other "normal people" and wanting to find someone "inferior to her" in Satou.

If there is a manga that really annoyed me (I don't even know why the hell I read it all) with that trope of the pretty/cute girl suddenly having interest and turning around the weird/gloomy/hikki dude's life for the best, it was 3D Kannojo.

Oh, right, I just remembered about a short japanese movie I've seen years ago about someone that didn't get out of his house and was living off his savings (I don't remember if it had been explained how he got them). He only ate cheap delivered food, barely interacted with the delivery men, and even established a schedule of what he'll eat each day. Also, eating while standing helped him digest. He piled up pizza boxes in his living room, the rest was discarded… I don't really remember how.

One day, it was a woman who delivered the pizza and for whatever reasons, she just collapsed in front of his door, so he just brought her inside and laid her on the ground, I don't remember if he took her helmet off or not.

The conversation that followed is blurry in my memory but at some point, she appeared envious of this guy's life. Again, I don't remember what prompted his decision but he then got out of his house for the first time in years, and realised that he wasn't the only one that turned into a hikikomori, a lot of trees weren't trimmed, gardens were rife with wild herbs and shit, and he starts panicking and running in the streets in hope of finding someone. I don't even remember the ending, but I think it was just him getting lost or "trapped" outside.

Is It Safe to Come Out Yet? Japan's Policy for Hikikomori. is a book that discusses several critical dimensions of the Japanese health policy response to hikikomori. For Japanologists, this book will provide one more window into the nature of modern Japanese society, without the prejudices that are sometimes apparent in more popular treatises on the syndrome. For health policy analysts this book should provide another example of a government creating and enacting a health policy initiative - and any fresh example should add to our knowledge of how policy works in the 'real world'

Book is expensive as hell.

When the ghost of his dead girlfriend haunts him, Jared spirals out of control, with paranoia and fear creeping from every dark corner of his home and his mind.

Traumatized by school, Jun Sakurada spends his days at home as a shut-in, purchasing things online, only to send them back before the free trial period ends. So when a note appears on his desk, asking whether or not he would wind something, he assumes it was something he ordered and carelessly circles "yes," changing his life forever.

A box arrives with a wind up doll inside, but this is no ordinary toy: after Jun winds her up, she begins walking and talking as if a normal person. With a haughty attitude, she introduces herself as Shinku, the fifth doll in the Rozen Maiden collection, a group of special dolls made by the legendary dollmaker Rozen. These sisters must battle each other in a competition called the Alice Game with the help of a human to ensure victory. The winner becomes Alice, a real girl who is worthy of meeting their creator.

As more sentient dolls end up taking residence in Jun's house, and a foe from Shinku's past makes her appearance, Jun's life becomes far more complicated than he ever thought possible.

Joshua's Withdrawal is a digital Ebook written by John Flannery.

Joshua West is a 25-year-old physics graduate. Who has lived the life of a recluse in his parent’s comfortable Cambridge home for two years. Joshua has been influenced by the Japanese phenomenon called Hikikomori whereby thousands of young men have withdrawn from society.

Having had plenty of time to ponder his situation, Joshua has concluded that he is now obsolete and is therefore preparing himself and his family for his imminent act of ritualistic suicide. Part of his preparation involves writing a series of death poems that he reads to his family.

Joshua’s parents are dealing with this situation stoically, while his little sister is trying to persuade him not to die prematurely for her sake. Joshua is convinced that he is doing God’s work by taking his own life.

This text also deals with the effects of the changing role of young men in a modern society where women are beginning to take on a more masculine working role.There are some lighter moments in this very dark novella but it deals mainly with a young man struggling to cope with his own imminent mortality.

One year ago, Sagiri Izumi became step-siblings with Masamune Izumi. But the sudden death of their parents tears their new family apart, resulting in Sagiri becoming a hikikomori which cut her off from her brother and society.

While caring for what's left of his family, Masamune earns a living as a published light novel author with one small problem: he's never actually met his acclaimed illustrator, Eromanga-sensei, infamous for drawing the most lewd erotica. Through an embarrassing chain of events, he learns that his very own little sister was his partner the whole time!

As new characters and challenges appear, Masamune and Sagiri must now face the light novel industry together. Eromanga-Sensei follows the development of their relationship and their struggle to become successful; and as Sagiri slowly grows out of her shell, just how long will she be able to hide her true persona from the rest of the world?

Cleaning the room itself once every week or two is generally enough. It's definitely not a mess. Some people would maybe see it that way, but only because I'm surrounded by computers and electronics. I tend to keep everything within my reach. My main obsession is with being efficient, so I organize everything with that in mind as my first priority, even if I end up with wires all over the place. Still, it's about as optimized as it can be without spending more money. I could improve it if I bought a bunch of pipes. There are no wires attached to the ceiling, but it will probably happen at some point.

I do have some obsession with keeping things clean, but when it comes to something minor, like dust, I try not to clean too much because that would also be inefficient as well (cleaning things that are almost clean is kind of a waste of time), and I don't want to end up with a new obsession. I definitely care a lot more about keeping myself clean than anyone else I know, though.

It varies from person to person. Some people don't seem to care at all about their rooms. I care about it a lot, because it's where I live, and it's part of me to some extent. I have seen people that are extremely organized that don't seem to ever clean their stuff, though.

I recently had a similar moment happen to me when I realized that I'm now older than Travis Bickle. In the film Taxi Driver, he's supposed to only be 26. I'm almost 28. That both blows my mind and makes me profoundly depressed at the same time. By comparison, Satou's a spring fucking chicken compared to me. I also watched NHK for the first time when I was 24 or 25, so, in a way, I was always older than Satou. I like to imagine though that extrapolating from when the anime came out in 2006, he'd be like in his thirties at this point. In that sense, I'm still younger than him, but it's not like it matters.

Anyway, I don't have much to offer to this thread other than some short films of YouTube that most have probably already seen.

Watched this a while ago. The guy wanders around a lot, but I seem to recall the narrator mentioning things very relevant to hikikomori life in spots.

I've seen this film mentioned a number of times. Look interesting, I guess, but I don't have the wherewithal to watch it. Last film I watched was like 3-4+ months ago now. Something to keep in mind when I do have the energy again, though.

Un Homme Qui Dort. A 25-year-old male student in Paris becomes indifferent to the world around him, and subsequently feels a strong sense of alienation and hopelessness.

>Narrator: It is on a day like this one, a little later, a little earlier, that you discover, without surprise, that something is wrong, that you don't know how to live and that you never will. Something has broken. You no longer feel some thing which until then fortified you. The feeling of your existence, the impression of belonging to or being in the world, is starting to slip away from you. Your past, your present and your future merge into one. You are 25 years old, you have 29 teeth, three shirts and eight socks, 500 francs a month to live on, a few books you no longer read, a few records you no longer play. You don't want to remember anything else. Here you sit, and you only want to wait, just to wait until there's nothing left to wait. You go back to your room, you undress, you slip between the sheets, you turn out the light, you close your eyes. Now is the time when dream-women, too quickly undressed, crowd in around you, the time when you reread ad nauseam books you've a read a thousand times before, when you toss and turn for hours without getting to sleep. This is the hour when your eyes wide open in the darkness, you hand groping towards the foot of the narrow bed in search of an ashtray, matches, a last cigarette, you calmly measure the sticky extent of your unhappiness. Unhappiness did not swoop down on you, it insinuated itself almost ingratiatingly. It meticulously impregnated your life, your movements, the hours you keep, your room, it took possession of the cracks in the ceiling, of the lines in your face in the cracked mirror, of the pack of cards; it slipped furtively into the dripping tap on the landing, it echoes in sympathy with the chimes of each quarter-hour from the bell of Saint-Roch. How many times you have repeated the same amputated gesture, the same journey's that lead nowhere? All you have left to fall back on are your tuppeny-halfpenny boltholes, your idiotic patience, the thousand and one detours that always lead you back unfailingly to your starting point. All that counts is your solitude: whatever you do, wherever you go, nothing that you see has any importance, everything you do, you do in vain, nothing that seek is real. Solitude alone exists, every time you are confronted, every time you face yourself.

Just a synopsis for the film which I forgot to provide, along with a quote from the film.

I like keep my space quite clean mostly since, being that my room may as well be my entire universe and is the place where I spend all my time & energy, I'd rather it not be a festering dung heap. Any and all food I bring in here, I eat on a plate on top of my TV table. The minute I finish I immediately leave my room and put the plate away in our kitchen's dishwasher. I also only drink bottled plastic water, of which I usually have a few sitting neatly on a side table nearby. When I'm done with one I crush it down and throw into my garbage bin, to eventually be emptied out later. No food or water ever comes close to my main computer desk which, aside from a light layer of dust, is essentially spotless. Aside, from the odd pillow or blanket being strewn about, there's also not all that much loose clutter in here either.

Despite all that, I wouldn't really classify myself as being an obsessive neat freak. Just because I'm not a slob doesn't mean I'm Howard Hughes scrubbing the skin off his hands all the sudden. Be that as it may, I did used to suffer quite a bit from my many random OCD related rituals and, sometimes, still do. My OCD used to mainly manifest in the form of thought rituals where I'd need to think of three good thoughts to get rid of a bad thought. The thoughts themselves usually revolved around one of my many irrational fears/phobias. Sometimes it would be as arbitrary as having watched a scary movie or played a scary game and having something from that stick in my head for ages afterwards (like that one scene from Looper where that guy is having all his limbs disappear). In the case of Looper, to stop the panic I'd think of three other time travel movies that weren't as scary (for me, anyway) like BTTF, Star Trek IV, and The Terminator. Unfortunately, doing this would only embed the negative thought further as I'd finish thinking of three good thoughts only to think of what was upsetting me which then followed with me being force to redo the thought ritual and so on and so forth. The only physical manifestation of these thoughts would appear as me often resisting the urge to swallow my spit before I could make three full repeats of three good thoughts and then swallowing to serve as almost an exclamation point to the ritual. Also, when I'd go to sleep I'd often have to face a certain direction before, again, swallowing my saliva.

Embracing whatever the negative thoughts happened to be at the time certainly helped sometimes, but more often than not it wasn't much more than a minor palliative to what I was going through. The ritual was everything and resisting or embracing it didn't change the palpable discomfort I felt from not completing it.

Fortunately enough for me, I don't get these thought rituals much anymore. Sometimes when I'm playing a game I'll force myself to do certain weird things to fulfill a random ritual, like running back a good minute or so to touch a certain item and then leaving only to run back a minute later and touch it again, or turning the camera just enough from a random enclosed space to feel like I've properly moved past it, so it doesn't trigger my claustrophobia, which would happen if denied the ritual. Like I said though, it's super random and times where you'd think I'd be bothered by it I'm not, and then other times I am. In the end, I've always been bothered by how the whole concept of being prone to OCD has become erroneously synonymous with fastidiousness. It goes much further beyond just that such as with, at worst, the debilitating, heart stopping panic that can come from not being able to fulfill impossible rituals. Which, itself, has been the source for at least two nervous breakdowns for me in the past.

I've also experienced palpable moments of "Harm OCD" as well (the fear that your thoughts will lead you to spontaneously enact physical harm to those around you). I've never felt this way towards my family, thankfully, and it has, essentially, just been something relegated to the few times I've been outside within last 12 years. It would usually only present itself when I'd be forced into a crowded area or, worse, be in a position where I'd need to interact with a stranger. I'd often find myself with the overwhelming fear that I'd give into this enticing urge to scream at the top of my lungs, or go sprinting like a madman with my arms flailing or even, in some instances, physically assault the stranger in front of me. As if I'd completely lose control of myself and do something I absolutely didn't want to do. Like laying in the chair at the dentist's office and feeling like I'm just going to leap up and jam a drill in someone's eye. The urge itself can be so strange. Unbelievably strong, yet also undetectably subtle. For a while I had no idea this was related to OCD, since my thought rituals never came with any sort of bizarre urges to act out physically. For the longest time, I just assumed it was latent psychotic tendencies and that I was slowly becoming a deranged maniac. Luckily, it was fairly easy to ignore given that, again, I very rarely leave the house. I remember hearing a story a long time ago about this woman who had to hide the knives in her house because, otherwise, she was terrified of the possibility that she'd end up spontaneously stabbing her husband to death. Kinda similar to what I felt in my own way, frankly.

I've also sometimes experienced a variant of Harm OCD except, strangely enough. towards my physical possessions. In those times, the anxiety/fear can be quite unpleasant. It feels like all I'd have to do is lose myself for a split second. Just long enough for me to throw my wireless mouse against my monitor, or do something equally disastrous. The feeling of panicked precariousness is constant and unbearable. Like a part of me wants to fuck myself over in the most heinous way possible. Again though, it comes and go. Just like a lot of things to a deranged mind, I suppose.
