Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The story follows Tatsuhiro Satō, a university dropout entering his fourth year of unemployment. He leads a reclusive life as a hikikomori, feeling that this happened due to some sort of conspiracy. He then meets Misaki Nakahara, a mysterious girl who claims to be able to cure Satō of his hikikomori ways. However, both of them have a tendency of over-doing things, such as hiding the truth. Despite Misaki's offer of salvation, it is Satō's neighbour and high school friend, Yamazaki Kaoru, whom Satō often turns to in moments of need, and who, despite his own idiosyncrasies, is one of the more stable characters in the story.

[edit] Characters

She will tell Tatsuhiro whatever it will make him pay attention to her. She seems to have deep attachment to Tatsuhiro as of current story-state. She gives two indicators of her past, the first being he confession that she needs Satō because he is worse than her, and the second is that in the episode Welcome to Reality on occasions he raises his as if to strike her she flinches (as if she has been beaten before).
