Gentle Touch vs. Firm Hand | |
It's Tough Being Neeko (Manga) / int_203bb427 | comment |
Gentle Touch vs. Firm Hand: Neeko's father is the Gentle Touch, since he's more hesitant about pushing his daughter outside of her comfort zone. Neeko's mother is the Firm Hand, since she's determined to get Neeko out of her rut, and gradually discards any hesitation she might have had when it comes to forcing Neeko to work. | |

Brutal Honesty | |
It's Tough Being Neeko (Manga) / int_23ff95fb | comment |
Brutal Honesty: Imoko never misses an opportunity to bluntly call her sister a NEET in front of any new person, often to the mortification of everyone in earshot. She also calls Neeko’s video game fangirlism "gross" to her face. Absolutely none of it is meant with malice, with her admitting while under the influence that it's her attempt to lighten the mood so Neeko doesn't get too stressed out. | |

Break the Haughty | |
It's Tough Being Neeko (Manga) / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty: Neeko’s original character concept was of a moderately more extroverted and far more unrepentantly mooching spoiled gamergirl. Uri’s flashbacks show that when she was still in college that’s exactly what Neeko was like. The string of harsh rejections from job interviews (specifically, she was continuously subjected to stress interviews) led to her current subdued, guilt-ridden, neurotic mannerisms on top of her shut-in tendencies. | |

Hidden Depths: Despite seeming lazy and immature, Neeko is able to do whatever she puts her mind to. It's also revealed that despite suffering from social anxiety, she was the one who reached out to Uriko back when they were in college. In terms of skills; Neeko is apparently a savant at graphic design, and Uriko is a hobbyist doujin mangaka. | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Neeko is a NEET while Imoko is working a part-time job in high school, having gotten hired at a place that rejected Neeko. The sisters' respective resumes make it clear that Imoko is significantly more mature and organized than Neeko is, since her resume is significantly more professional and expresses a better work ethic than Neeko's. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless | |
It's Tough Being Neeko (Manga) / int_8b221a63 | comment |
Reed Richards Is Useless: A mundane example; Neeko is fantastic with computers. Her whole family and close friend all not only know about this talent, but also regularly call her in to help with video editing and graphic design on various personal projects. Never once does Neeko or anyone around her recognize the value of her hobby and seek to make it a revenue stream by way of freelance commissions over the Internet (which would handily side-step a plethora of her issues getting a job; namely her extreme anxiety with face-to-face interactions and poor scheduling skills) rather than continue agonizing over how to brute-force past her hang-ups and get her in some more traditional job. Neeko does finally realize it could useful in Chapter 37, but this is after she got a job | |

In Vino Veritas: After getting a sip of sweet sake, Imoko takes on the personality of a Handsome Lech after just a sip of sweet sake, acting rather assertive and aggressively flirty toward her friend Marimo and other classmates. This behavior even extends to her older sister once she gets home, much to Neeko's discomfort. However, she also feels comfortable enough in this state to admit in between the filtrations that her usual "cheerful girl" act is at least partially a façade to help alleviate the stress and guilt she knows Neeko has surrounding her NEET status. | |

Gamer Chick: Video games are basically the only source of uninhibited joy Neeko has. In contrast with the typical portrayal of this trope, Neeko mostly sticks to mainstream / casual titles in choice of play and discussion (though she approaches them with a hardcore player’s enthusiasm), has gotten more and more into mobile games in recent years, and kinda sucks at competitive play. | |

It's Tough Being Neeko (Manga) / int_ce0722f8 | comment |
Disappointing Older Sibling: Neeko, as a NEET doesn't compare very well to her younger sister, who's holding down a part-time job while in high school. Imoko loves her in spite of this, though. | |

Housewife: One of Neeko's friends, Chiho, becomes one after marrying a classmate. She claims that it's technically equivalent to being a NEET. | |

Artistic License: Apparently, it's possible to get hired for a temporary part-time position without an interview, even though someone else submitted an application on your behalf without asking you. Just ask Neeko, who gets tricked into working at an electronics store on the Switch's launch day. | |

It's Tough Being Neeko (Manga) / int_dda5d5b7 | comment |
Cat Smile: Imoko has this expression constantly. It initially comes across as her just being far more relaxed than Neeko, but later chapters imply she has a bit of a hidden trickster streak as well. | |

It's Tough Being Neeko (Manga) / int_e54563eb | comment |
NEET: Neeko is a girl who still lives with her parents and can't find a job. Subverted with one of Neeko's friends, who doesn't have a job and isn't in school or training... because she's a housewife. Uriko is also unemployed, but tries to earn money by drawing and selling doujinshi for Comiket. She eventually lands herself a part-time job. | |

Suspiciously Specific Denial | |
It's Tough Being Neeko (Manga) / int_e624f0e8 | comment |
Suspiciously Specific Denial: Subverted in Chapter 24. In a brief flashback, Imoko invites Neeko to the beach, then hastily adds, "Ah! And I'm not inviting you cause Mom said to take you with me, okay?" This would come off as an example of the trope but considering that Mrs. Niito had recently tricked Neeko into working a part-time shift, it's meant to be honest reassurance that there are no ulterior motives or tricks involved. She repeats the same line in Chapter 25 regarding her inviting Neeko to the festival. | |

Pushover Parents | |
It's Tough Being Neeko (Manga) / int_f19255b6 | comment |
Pushover Parents: Neeko’s dad fawns over her slightest achievements around the house and is constantly sneaking her spending money. Downplayed with her mom as well, as her attempts to push Neeko into becoming productive don’t extend beyond barbed comments that she backtracks on the instant Neeko becomes visibly distressed. It’s telling that it takes over 20 chapters and an intervention from one of Neeko’s old college friends for her to get her daughter out of the house despite the latter’s pathological obsequiousness. | |

Imoko. Innocently Insensitive tendencies about her sister's NEET-hood aside, she's remarkably caring toward Neeko. She even manages to throw a hostile student for a loop by being nothing but polite throughout their encounter. | |
