A Five-Year Diary of a NEET’s Life After High School Graduation
He has been a NEET for over 10 years. What kind of life gave birth to him?
What happened at school, what TV was popular in class, what cartoons he enjoyed after school, his youth with his friends….
He looks back on the thoughts and feelings he had at the time, along with nostalgic memories of those days.
The introduction to the book, “Until Neeto is Born” (Parade Books), describes it this way: “The book is about the author, Mr. Processed Starch. The book is said to be a “diary” of the author, Mr. Kakoh Denpun, from the second year of junior high school to after high school graduation. However, when I picked up the book and opened it to the pages, I was frozen by the contents, which were completely different from what I had expected. For example, the first page reads as follows
4/7 Opening Ceremony Hey, Hey, Hey, Smash!
4/8 Evangelion doujinshi at the bookstore
4/9 At school I get an Eva flyer
4/10 Write Mincho and Gothic in art
4/11 Switch groups Read Champion
4/12 3×3EYES Read books related to Eva
4/13 Kochikame, you think you know? Yutaka Ozaki on “You think you know?
4/14 Night of the Ginga Tetsudo (bank robbery) Organize rooms
4/15 Physical measurements, lots of Eva fans
4/16 Gifts, Rurouken, Weiss
4/17 Fan road and anime-related books
A line of “notes” a day, or rather, the names of TV programs and manga titles that I probably watched or read that day. It is mostly a list of words, and there are few descriptions that are a single sentence. And although there were some parts missing, this continued for five years.
