Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Welcome to the N.H.K. is an odd, darkly comic series about an anxiety-ridden hikikomori named Satou, struggling against his persistent delusion that he is being forced to be a hikikomori by a conspiracy called the N.H.K., until one day, when a girl by the name of Misaki comes out of the blue, insisting on helping Satou rid himself of his "hikikomori ways". The plot then follows Satou's many attempts (and repeated failures) to overcome his crippling anxiety. It's dark, it's funny, and even heartwarming at the most unexpected times.The novel, manga, and anime are each rather different in both story and themes. The anime and manga follow essentially the same plot until the manga's divergence from the novel, leading to its own, separate conclusion. The novel tends to be somewhat darker, focusing more on the characters' issues and less on the love story, which is essentially the focus of the anime, with the manga somewhere in between. There are significant differences in the specific way some events happen in the anime and manga, even when they're otherwise almost identical, which tends to bring out the change in tone. Many events of the novel (the fight scene, the visit to the church) never occur in the anime or manga, and vice versa (the "summer vacation", the entire second half of the manga).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The name of the main character, Tatsuhiro Satou, might be a play on the names of the original creator and his friend: Tatsuhiko Takimoto and Yuuya Satou. The N.H.K. novel eventually made Tatsuhiko Takimoto one of the pioneers of the post-Murakami literature movement in Japan.The manga and original novel were licensed and translated into English by Tokyopop, but have since gone out of print with the shuttering of the company. The anime was originally licensed (and entirely dubbed) by ADV Films, but they lost the license partway through release to Funimation, who currently hold the series. If you're in the USA, you can watch it for free on Funimation's website. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Inverted Satou's senpai, Hitomi, intends on going to an "Off" Meeting – a group suicide. She stops by Satou's the night before and gets very drunk, talking about going on "summer vacation." Satou thinks he has a chance at being with her and getting out of his shut-in life with someone he loves, so eagerly offers to accompany her anywhere, "whether it's to Paradise or to Hell." She thinks he saw the Off Meeting notice sticking out of her purse while she slept, so he never learns what's what until the whole group is on a deserted island ready to do the deed. Satou manages to talk everyone out of it at the end... however, there's a fair chance that they never even would have made it that far if it wasn't for him! Group resolve was flagging back on the mainland, and it's only because he pushed them to go ahead with their "vacation" that they made it to the island at all. Nobody dies, but they nearly got there because of his misunderstanding. | |

In the series' typical darkly funny fashion, it doesn't even dawn on Satou that he means it until he's ready to kill himself to convince her not to throw her own life away. | |

G-Rated Drug | |
| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_3aa2ac42 | comment |
G-Rated Drug: Usually averted by Satou's fairly hard drug use, but also parodied. In the novel he talks a lot about "legal drugs" he acquires off the internet (even if he takes said drugs by snorting them). But then he mentions by name some extremely illegal and unimaginably powerful real-life hallucinogens, with a level of detail that makes one suspect the author didn't just read about it on Wikipedia. | |

The Internet Is for Porn | |
| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_53830d | comment |
The Internet Is for Porn: Yamazaki teaches the far-less-nerdy Satou this lesson, who proves to be a willing student. Except he misses the whole part about how deleting your OS to make room for your porn is a bad idea. In the novel he was like this before meeting Yamazaki (minus the deleting your OS part), but with the mindset of "the internet is for porn and scoring drugs". | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Satou wants his Sempai, Hitomi Kashiwa, to be happy. That is why he does not sleep with her, since doing so could ruin her marriage to Jougasaki. This is also part of Satou's reasoning for refusing Misaki's second contract which would basically force him to be in a relationship with her, although his delusions insist that it's really because he doesn't want to be considered a "worthless human". | |

Author Avatar: Satou. In story, there's a scene where Satou sits in on a game concept development class and writes a VN scenario where a lonely, isolated charcoal burner in the woods falls in love with a forest spirit that completely and implicitly understands him and "never calls him a NEET or hikikomori." In addition to the author himself living as a "hikky" for 4 years, he has revealed in interviews that the success of his work had him "reduced to a NEET, ...living as a parasite on the royalties from this book". He's also said offhand in an interview that really, the only thing that makes Satou and him different is their appearance and name, and that a lot of the events in the book happened to him. He said it gives him cold shakes if he tries reading it, as he can't look upon his protagonist's life objectively. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: It's actually in the fact that it doesn't mean much. The surname Satou/Sato is so common in Japan that it is meant to represent the majority of Japanese society and what they struggle with. The English equivalent would be naming the main character Smith. | |

Because You Were Nice to Me: Essentially the reason Hitomi lets Satou have sex with her on her day of graduation in the novel (and because Satou kinda begged). He was really the only person that paid attention to her after a bad breakup and kept her from suicide. | |

None of the main cast ever consider seeking formal counseling. Satou's father does think about sending him to a psychiatric hospital in volume 5 of the manga. Unfortunately Truth in Television, as even admitting to having mental issues is a sign of deep shame in Japan. Asking for counseling help is essentially social suicide. | |

Spell My Name with an "S": Once again, the Japanese "long-o" rears its ugly head, and each incarnation of the series in English treats it differently: The manga spells it "Satou", and keeps names in Eastern Order (i.e. "Satou Tatsuhiro") The novel spells it "Sato", but flips the names to Western Order. (i.e. "Tatsuhiro Sato") The anime spells it "Satou", and flips the names to Western Order. (i.e. "Tatsuhiro Satou") | |

| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_8d6d9535 | comment |
Artistic License – Medicine: People who work with the mentally ill are trained never to acknowledge or interact with figments of the patient's imagination (e.g., yelling "get out of here" at a schizophrenic's hallucinations) because it further damages their ability to separate fact and fiction. This makes purposefully inducing paranoid delusions in a damaged person so you can then symbolically destroy them a pretty bad idea. | |

Gecko Ending: The manga, in a somewhat inverted way. Both the novel and the anime end with Satou trying to kill himself, only to survive, with Misaki and him deciding to keep living. This happens in the manga as well, but at the halfway point, so it doesn't resolve the story. The manga keeps going on to reach its own conclusion (somehow). Both end similarly, with Satou and Misaki attempting to embrace life after failing suicide. Neither are totally over their problems, but they're trying. The manga couple just has to go through a lot more shit to get there. | |

Foreshadowing: The Nightmare Sequence at the very start of the first episode foreshadows the last episode. A later example — Megumi's hikikomori brother ends up getting a job after not eating in 3 days. Satou goes through the same thing in episode 23. In the Beach Episode, Sato raises a fist as if to strike Misaki, whose immediate response is to curl up in a ball and cover their face for protection. Misaki grew up with an abusive stepfather who would frequently beat her. | |

Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Yamazaki and Satou try to make the perfect Eroge heroine. In the novel, page 98: "She's the protagonist's childhood friend as well as a robot maid. She's blind, deaf, and sickly; on top of that, she's an alien with Alzheimer's and multiple personality disorder. However she's actually a ghost with a connection to the main character from their past lives. And her true form is really a fox spirit!" In the manga, she's a Cat Girl Robot Maid who's got Alzheimer's. In the anime: "She's your classmate and childhood friend, who also happens to live next door. She's also a robot, but not just any robot, a Maid Robot! In a previous life, she and the main character were lovers. She's also really sick, so the main character has to take care of her. Then she jumps in front of a car to protect him and ends up in the hospital for a whole year! But she's actually a ghost! AND SHE'S AN ALIEN TOO! THEN YOU FIND OUT SHE'S A REINCARNATION OF A FOX FROM SPACE WITH A SPLIT PERSONALITY!!" | |

| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_b1e8a3b3 | comment |
Coming-of-Age Story: The series is effectively a really dark one, chronicling Satou's struggles as he tries to go from manchild to functioning adult. | |

Weakness Turns Her On | |
| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_b8ccfb2 | comment |
Weakness Turns Her On: Misaki selects Satou for her project because she wanted to find someone even more "worthless" than she believes she is. Hitomi also had this for Satou, seeing and liking the pathetic loser he is. | |

Maybe Ever After | |
| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_b97c2cfb | comment |
Maybe Ever After: Misaki and Satou's brief romance is left ambiguous in almost every adaptation. The novel makes it clear that it's more or less finished. The manga leaves off on a more hopeful note, with Satou promising to pursue their relationship anew once he cleans himself up. The anime is similarly ambiguous. | |

Precision F-Strike | |
| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_bc00493f | comment |
Precision F-Strike: There are a handful of F-bombs dropped in the English dub, mostly by Satou, but his use of it during the climax of the final episode is especially spectacular and certainly qualifies. Hitomi manages to get in a single F-bomb to punctuate her crossing the Despair Event Horizon in episode 13. Conversely, Yamazaki's single F-strike is somewhat more comedic. | |

Suicide Pact | |
| Welcome to the N.H.K. / int_bff666b | comment |
Suicide Pact: The "Offline Meeting" Hitomi and Satou attend. In the end, Misaki and Satou both sign a hostage pact where both are obliged to respond to the other's suicide by also committing suicide — the idea being that since the suicide of the other is something neither will stand for, it will stave off their own suicidal thoughts. | |

He then meets an incredible, sweet, fun player with a Catgirl avatar whom he quickly develops a crush on. He refuses to listen to anyone who tries to stop him from obsessing over this player's character. Then one day the character says she's coming to visit him, and Kaoru walks through the door with his computer, revealing that he was just trying to teach Satou a lesson and get him to start making the game with him again. | |

Flanderization: Especially in the manga, where Satou and Misaki eventually get reduced to their disturbed mental state. Nobody is ever nearly as bad in the novel as they get in the manga, and the climax of the book that (mostly) resolves everyone's problems only sends them spiraling further in the manga. | |

But in fact, N.H.K. in the context of the anime (and light novel) stands for "Nihon Hikikomori Kyoukai" (日本引きこもり協会)—Japan Hikikomori Corporation, which besides using "Nihon" instead of "Nippon"note "Nippon" was the official reading coined in the late 7th century; "Nihon" was coined in feudal-era Edo about a millennium later is a far more appropriate acronym given the subject matter of the series. In fact, the anime was never actually aired on an NHK network like NHK-G, NHK-ETV or NHK-BS 1. It was syndicated to JAITSnote Japanese Association of Independent Television Stations; a loosely associated network of independent UHF stations throughout the country. They include Tokyo MX, TV Kanagawa, Chiba TV, Tochigi TV and KBS Kyoto stations. | |

Will They or Won't They?: Satou and Misaki. In the manga version, they do acknowledge each other as lovers, but they don't officially start their relationship until Satou can get back on his feet. | |
