Absolutnie nie mój klimat. Cringe mnie pokonał, a fabuła nie interesowała ani ciut ciut.
Kreska mnie odpycha, pogłębiając tylko niechęć do tego tytułu.

Now this serie tocuh a very delicate the hikkimori, it shows the problem of the hikkimoris, Satou is a very lame character and Misuki is in love with him or it looks like but I wonder why is she helping him.

The main character is very well.

Sato taking photos of underage girls so he can convince himself that he is sick= :D

Sato taking photos of underage girls because he likes underage girls= D:

A dark, delicious look at oneself through a unique perspective that is not normally showed in most media in my opinion. I have the entire manga series, and cannot stop recommending it as a must read for anyone wanting something that has humor, romance, and a deep inner movement in character development.

[Series Length: 8 volumes / Read: volume 1]

Having enjoyed classic otaku homages like "Comic Party", "Otaku No Video" and "Nadesico", I would get excited about any new property that features stories about anime/manga fans for anime/manga fans.

With "Genshiken", I found a slice-of-life story centering on otaku (hardcore fans of anime and/or manga) that ended being a little bland, with shocking moments that weren't really shocking, and action rather slow-paced until near the end. But at least, you got to see a good cross-section of fandom, from video gamers to manga artists to model builders to even doujinshi and hentai-lovers. And generally, all the characters were likeable and non-offensive.

On the other hand, "Welcome to the NHK" focuses on the filthiest and creepiest otaku, and I immediately started wondering why the hell should I care about anyone in this story? Once I came to my answer, I promptly dropped this from my reading list.

l'adattamento manga di welcome to di NHK(in origine una light novel)è in parte una sorpresa,dopo aver visto l'anime pensavo che avrebbero optato per un'approccio soft su determinati eventi e personaggi,eliminando o modificando i dettagli più sordidi,invece questa versione della storia,se possibile,li amplifica addirittura,soprattutto qui nel primo volume(esempio perfetto è la scena in cui Sato si apposta fuori dalla scuola o il differente contenuto del CD che gli viene consegnato come "materiale di consultazione" nel maga rispetto all'anime)in definitiva trovo che la storia scorra meglio e sia più piacevole nell'anime ma la brutalità di questa versione,sottolineata anche da uno stile grafico molto più appuntito e spigoloso dell'anime,ha un fascino singolare e amplifica ancora di più la sensazione di trovarsi di fronte a un "caso umano".

A clever approach to a problem plaguing the Japanese Youth Population today -- the Hikikomori. Hikikomori is the Japanese word referring to acute social withdrawal. The story revolves around Tatsuhiro Satou a young 22 year old man who believes in a conspiracy that has caused him to become a hikikomori. When a young lady, Misaki Nakahara, approaches Satou, she convinces him that she can cure him of his affliction.

This is a humorous yet angsty filled approach to a problematic subject. The art is rough and successfully reflects the story's mood and meaning.

I wouldn't recommend this story to new manga readers. This is best understood by those who have successfully (or obsessively) delved into the otaku culture and/or mind-set.

Excellent portrayal of mental health issues, and as such can be very hard to read. I need to finish the series, I'm not sure how many volumes of the eight I read.

It's perfect but doesn't deviate much from the anime so don't think I'll read the other volumes.

It's about a guy who can't find a job, and can't find the will to try to get a job. He and his neighbor come up with an idea to make an amazing porno game that never really manifests into actuality. I liked it because it was not only extremely funny, but I felt somewhat similar to the feelings of the characters. Only because he had a problem with escapism and unable to bring himself out of the rut. The writer had said he had faced similar problems because he was also a recovering hikkikomori.

A bunch of otakus with mental issues (related to otakuness, like hikikomori, loli-con). This was not for me, I get it is psychological but it was more depressing and disgusting than comedy.
