So otaku in Japan are Hikikomori?
I could do a seven day trial of not watching anime or reading manga and see how that goes, but I think the problem is loneliness and boredom. Anime and manga currently fill that void. It's not the best way and it's ultimately unsatisfying, but it works, if only temporarily. However, otaku doesn't sound like an appealing future to me. Living my life through anime and manga is not satisfying me. I want to live my own life, have my own experiences and find fulfillment and inner and outer success.
Your log in seems Japanese as well. Why did you choose a Japanese log in? |
My log in is Japanese. It was my address for many years and is easy to remember. Not all Otaku are Hikikomori . Most are not. Hikikomori is an extreme form of self-isolation and few in numbers I believe but given a lot of attention by the media which makes it seem to be a much larger phenomenon. On the other hand, what do the Hikikomori do all day and night locked away in their rooms besides masturbation? Probably read manga and watch anime.
