comment
Omoriboy, also known as Omori Hikikomori (omori ひきこもり), was a discontinued webcomic by Omocat about a depressed young man living in a Blank White Void. Omori spends his days surfing the internet, playing old games, drawing, interacting with his cat, and musing about his life. A companion blog from his cat's point of view, Omoricat, was updated sporadically but ended early into its run.A short comic, Omori's Story, was released to the OMOCAT SHOP in 2012, along with a book of his drawings titled Omori's Sketchbook. Omocat initially wanted to expand on Omori's world through a graphic novel, but this comic was cancelled in favor of making a video game about him instead. The game, OMORI, was eventually released in 2020.

Therapy Is for the Weak: In one panel, Omori mentions his mom wanting him to seek help for his depression. Omori insists he's fine, and that everyone else thinks there's a problem with him.

Daydream Surprise
 Omoriboy (Webcomic) / int_118a41d5
comment
Daydream Surprise: In Omori's Story, Omori is invited by his neighbors to a day out. He has fun for the first time in a while, even cracking a smile, but as he reaches out for one of them, the world turns back into his room. He looks at the floor, only to see the drawings he made that day — all of which show the same places and things he encountered.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 Omoriboy (Webcomic) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Omori explains to the audience what his name means (it's apparently short for Hikikomori), and calls out his author for giving him a similar name to her username. Omori expresses gratefulness that he's only a character on a blog, because it means he doesn't have to pay rent on his room.

Early Installment Character-Design Difference
 Omoriboy (Webcomic) / int_4348c929
comment
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Unlike his later design, Omori has the whites of his eyes drawn in. Due to being depicted as older, he's also much taller and skinnier than his game counterpart. The characters that would become Aubrey, Kel, and Hero have slightly different designs: Aubrey's counterpart wears a shorter shirt, Kel's counterpart has shorter hair and a more detailed checkered tank top, and Hero's counterpart lacks his hair spikes.

Wham Shot: After hoping next year will be better for him, the first post of 2012 shows Omori casually etching a picture into the floor with a kitchen knife he didn't have before. Several panels later, he uses it to attempt suicide.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Omoriboy (Webcomic) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Omori and his neighbors are drawn as teens/young adults, compared to the child ages of their game counterparts. Unlike his game counterpart, Omori never leaves his room throughout the comic's run. Within the comic itself, the early pages of the blog imply that Omori's room is just stylized for the viewer, and the colorful world the room's connected to is Omori's imagination. Later installments show that the void of his room is literal, and the colorful world is part of it. Omori rarely uses his knife. When he attempts to stab himself, there's no indication that he can be brought back, as is the case in the game. There is no indication about the existence of Sunny, Basil and Mari, all who are heavily important characters in OMORI. Omori's Story does have a flower crown-wearing recurring extra who would ultimately become part of the inspiration for Basil, but he holds no importance to Omori in the comic.

Hikikomori: The comic's premise centers around a shut-in that spends his days in a depressed haze, with nothing to do but play games, draw, and use his laptop. According to one of the posts, "Hikikomori" is also his actual name.

Gratuitous Japanese: Omori's writings occasionally have some Japanese phrases, such as Tako's name in his sketchbook, the title of the blog, or when Omori relates himself to other hikikomori. These phrases are typically written in hiragana.
