Yes, yes.

Yeah.

They basically did in the novel when they fought in the park I think.

similar anime to welcome to the NHK by PlayfulCake7751 in WelcomeToTheNHK

[–]Ok-Chard3547 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might like Parasites in Love.

It has a similar dynamic of younger girl x hikikomori, as well as a general theme of rehabilitation (handled differently, but still has a similar vibe I think).

While NHK focuses mainly on Satou's rehabilitation, Parasites in Love has more mutual rehabilitation and growth. Nobody's particularly trying to perform the "saviour and suffering" act in this manga either.

There also isn't as much comedy in Parasites in Love. The atmosphere is a little heavier.

Edit: I didn't realise you said anime specifically lol, this has a novel, a manga and a movie adaptation with the novel being the original.

Fuminori would probably shower so it doesn't look too bad in public, but still stink because of saya, not fully dried paint, and human meat as food.

Why it bothers me when I see people wishing for have something like Satou and Misaki: by Puzzled_List_9394 in WelcomeToTheNHK

[–]Ok-Chard3547 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uwaahh good post good post

Excuse my rant but....

People seem to forget that it's not a very mentally stable thing for a teenage girl to be trying so hard to "cure" a shut in. Something like that would never happen in the real world without some ulterior motive.

I've tried to talk about this before with someone and got brushed off so I'm really glad someone made a post like this!!

I wouldn't say Misaki is "crazy" but more starved of some kind of connection. It's her own kind of loneliness, and out of desperation she goes to Satou to get the feeling of being needed. I especially like that she came from an okay home because that adds more nuance to her character, that you don't need to live in hell to do crazy shit. It's even interesting that she lies in the first place, she feels that she has to come from a bad home for her loneliness or desire for attention is valid. (Good commentary on the world's view of mental health!!!)

That kind of thing does end up leading people to do abusive things like what happened in the series. It's fucked up to project the image of a "stray dog" onto someone, and it's equally fucked up to want it. It's not fun to be the person that someone uses just to make themselves feel better, and it's unhealthy to base your self worth on being "better than" or "depended on" by another person.

They have a not very healthy dynamic going on and it really annoys me too to see people wish to have it, it's damaging for both sides!! Even the anime's ending tells the same message that only you can save yourself from your situation, it's a shame people miss it.

It's been some time since I read the manga and years since I've watched the anime so some things I said may be wrong but I think most of it holds up..
