"... Welcome to the NHK, the series that turns a humorous eye to the NEET generation (Not In Employment, Education, or Training)."


Gosh, I didn't know there was a label for people like me! Should I feel happy that I'm not alone, or just stick with ever-deepening shame...?

Considering it's very dark humour, mostly showing said lifestyle in a very unflattering way...being happy probably isn't the right response.

WOW! with that cover of the NHK dvd people are going to buy it for sure. They'll probably think hentai on site.

Im not sure if i'll buy it since I have all the GN's and will continue to buy them. It depends if the anime is the same as the manga.

From what's been released in English so far (for the manga, that is), it looks like they are essentially the same. I think the anime has better pacing though, which is strange since usually it's the other way around.

The anime is definitely worth watching, if only for the closing credit song which may be one of the greatest things ever.
