[this was my reread] - 10/10 (again)
The manga is probably my favorite medium of the series "Welcome the NHK" by @tatsuhikotkmt,it goes way in deeper about the characters rather than the anime does.
Its more fucked up in every way possible,Ill talk about the 3 characters below. https://twitter.com/veu_era/status/1264249803405438976">https://twitter.com/veu_era/s...

Lets start off with Misaki.
She is 18 years old highschool drop out because she cannot handle high school due to her social anxiety,multiple personality disorder,bipolarity and ptstd and probably many more mental illneses she as due to the trauma her childhood life gave her

Shes a extremely minuplative person and i think she knows it herself to a degree,shes very insecure and possessive towards almost anyone,she has psychotic tendencies to a degree aswell,she blames every1 but herself
Shes the 2nd best character in nhk in terms of writing & quality

Now for our MC satou.(hes based off the author himself as the author is a hikkmori himself.)
Hes a 22 year old ?pedophilic? dropout,hes been a hikkmori for over 5 years and relies on everyone but himself for emotional+financial support,he himself has multiple personality +

bipolarity + escapsim + suicidalness + depression + schizophrenia
He hates himself alot,blames everything on himself and cant even think of the fact that someone would try to help him/be nice to him so he pushes anyone who tries to help him away,hes too insecure to even open up

and constantly lies and is very easy to minuplate (done by misaki + hitomi + chairman)
his character has no proper resolution in the end,its still left open to interpretation but he does get somewhat better and i think thats whats so beautiful,its realistic,no happy endings.

Now last but not the least my favorite character or the one i relate the most to: YAMAZAKI
IF anything his character gets worse mentally in the series,starting off hes just a nerd otaku whose scared by a childhood indecent which has left him with fare of relationships/women
IF anything his character gets worse mentally in the series,starting off hes just a nerd otaku whose scared by a childhood indecent which has left him with fare of relationships/women
hes also super insecure,has heavy mood swings.
He hates women but still chases after this 1 girl nanoko but as soon as she gets too close to him? hes get scared and tries to push her out of his life and it works she leaves him.
he never gets better from this.

he never gets better from this.
He uses hentai games/visual novels + just fantasy stuff in general to escape from reality and hes been doing that since he was a kid because the
real world treated him harshly he turned to the fantasy world to feel better and you really cant blame him.

in the end he gets called to his real house to work on the farm and give up almost every dream he ever had/worked on while in japan.
All gone,his ending feels so empty and sad but i woudent change it because once again its beautifully painful because its super realistic.

No happy resolutions here,only realistic turn out of events my friends AND thats what makes NHK NHK its unlike any other slice of life and i doubt ill ever exprence anything like nhk ever again..
This series has had the biggest impact on my life and ill never forget it.

There& #39;s a large difference in between the two mediums regarding both story and character. Not only does the anime only cover about 2/3 of the plot, but the make up of characters and their interactions with others are much
different and greatly affected during that final 1/3. Almost the entirety of the anime& #39;s last few episodes was a filler, tying up of events in the slipshod manner that Gonzo is known for. For instance, look at how poorly Yamazaki& #39;s character was resolved, especially considering
his finding a woman so easily once he went back home after having so many issues with the opposite sex prior.
The manga is also more explicit or dark at times where the anime pulled punches. Satou is still a virgin who is attracted to girls around 7 years of age rather than 12.

Misaki is completely screwed up on an emotional and psychological level, which leads her to manipulate others far more maliciously. Yamazaki isn& #39;t just a set of stock, angry outbursts but a self-absorbed, ball of fear and social anxiety in relation to women and the idea of
sexual intercourse. Other characters also have a great deal more importance, and their place is often more darkly realistic rather than bland and functionary.
To be honest, watching the anime isn& #39;t giving you even half of the content that manga does even while it covers "more"
To be honest, watching the anime isn& #39;t giving you even half of the content that manga does even while it covers "more"
of the story. And, I would suggest reading the series as a whole, since there were so many subtle (i.e. Misaki& #39;s initial reaction at finding Satou holding up a naked figurine in salute when she comes to drop off the contract) and dramatic (the incredibly different ending to
events) differences in between it and its televised counterpar.
i tried to make this thread as short as possible,i can make a much bigger thread on almost every character in the series even the side characters have so much depth to them its amazing,beautifully written cast.
thank you @tatsuhikotkmt for your work.
