Mushoku Tensei was fire today.
Hikikomori stories hit me right in the gut. For those not following the anime, his little sister came to stay with him and go to school but locked herself in her dorm room and it reminded the main character about his life before he got isekai'd as a NEET hikikomori.
I had a NEET phase myself for about 8 months after high school, but the time I felt most like a hikikomori is in college, ironically. Alone and broke in a strange city and spending all my time working or studying, I felt like the biggest loser spending all my time so isolated surrounded by a million people in the city. Especially being a weeb, you see these cute stories about anime waifus, and going to sleep alone in my strange bed in a strange apartment in a strange apartment building in a strange city hit hard.
For some people it's different, but I was built to have a family. I'm thankful for them every day, whether I'm at home or on the road -- Even away from home I know I'll be home soon.

Turning point 3 next week. I imagine God will come snap off his arms and legs or something.
