In this thread we talk about the manga NHK Ni Youkoso!
> Japanese shut-ins, loli h-games and conspiracies, oh my!
Hooray for Jinmen acquiring this one! Two chapters released so far. Haven't compared their translation job to "the other one" but I doubt it could be worse!
I have to wonder about the pissbottle thing. Assuming they aren't wearing a catheter or something, isn't it less of a hassle to just go to the damned toilet when you need to? Compared to uncorking a bottle and positioning your filthy willy appropriately. (Or using a funnel. Gak!) I just don't see the net gain there, unless the toilet is like fifty meters down the hall or something... I mean, it's not like they keep playing while they void their bladders into the bottle, right?
Of course the truly hardcore person would just control his fluid intake so they'd only take a leak when they took a dump too. Not that the sort of person who'd get hooked on mmorpgs could be accused of being too rational in any case.
I thought they bottled poops too. That's what people here used to say all the time.
Help.
Are the lat 2chapters already scanlated?
I need chapter 39 and 40 ;)
Ahhh..... i need those last 2 chapters, I REALLY NEED THEM.

Why, do you want to suck my dick?
Ahhhhhhhh!
Why nobody has scanlated the two last chapters yet? :(((
Where Can I purchase the Misaki figurine
What are the scanlaters doing? :(
Probably beating off to scanlations of Kodomo no Jikan.
Actually are the raws?
OMG, where are some scanlaters to do the LAST 2 CHAPTERS OF THIS GREAT MANGA?!!
it seems the scanlators have dropped it!!
man, even if there were RAWS, i would read them.......
The last 2 chapters have been released by evil genius.
I had no idea this'd been licensed, gonna buy the books off Amazon ASAP!!
Definitely buy the novel. It's more pure than the manga, although the manga has more content (read: filler.)
Yup, I'm intending to pick that book up, it only costs $8 or whatever. Am I right in assuming it's a light novel?
I finished reading it in two hours so I think it qualifies for that status. But the English version is somewhat larger than one would usually imagine a light novel to be in Japan.
It's not a light novel (young adult novel). It's just a novel with an illustration on the cover (it doesn't even have interior illustrations in the light novel fashion).
Great book, buy now, ect.

I repeat, it's not a fucking light novel you assclown. Who cares what some asses on google say?
If it's not a light novel then it's shorter than a light novel. It took me longer to read Shana than NHK.
That makes no sense. Shana has a smaller page count (200 pages vs. 230+ pages) and has HUGE text, while NHK has relatively small text.
NHK has relatively small text but the lines aren't exactly crammed together. Either way it definitely took only two hours to read.
Well, all I can say is that 1)I had the opposite experience with those two books, and b)It's not a fucking light novel!
Anyway, this is just a pointless argument of semantics. It's a good book either way!
Wtf I need the scans arggg, please help :(
Fine, then it's a featherweight novel.
It's a good book either way!
I totally agree !
yippie...i read the two last chapters.
and expected, it is not a happy ending!
Can someone please tell me which chapters correspond to which volume? :x
I know there are 8 volumes and 40 chapters...
I reckon the ending of the manga sucked. It was an abrupt ending, and the conclusion didn't explicitly tell us how the characters were afterwars, leaving it to our imagination. I hate it when that happens- rounded off endings, I mean. Just by reading that ending, how can we be sure Sato won't just descend into being a loser just like every previous way?
Ive just finished reading the NHK novel.
[spoilers]In the end, the story wasn't at all satisfying. I liked how yamazaki was more fleshed out in the novel than in the manga. However, the conclusion of the novel was at the same ntoe as the manga. It finished with some crapped up crazy events and an inconvincing suggestion that the characters were now happy and on the road to being productive members of society.
Wut? So now Satou, after failing several hundred times, can suddenly getoff his ass and do productive work? Yamazaki found a wife, after bitching endlessly about how real women are disgusting?
I feel that the author just half-assed the ending. Man, I just HATE crap endings.[spoilers]
Crap spoiler tags
LOL it's like the idiot expected them to actually work.
Hey, Im not denying that im an idiot :)
You know, the author can't just pull out a suicide, which is the most probable happening, since this manga wouldn't be permitted?
Neither couldn't he pull off a really delusional happy ending for Sato.
Like you said, he has failed XXX times....why now?
The ending is consisting of crappy moral of the society ->
Accept your fucking fate and just go to work and serve for society.
Happieness is just most probably a illusion for the most of the people in the world.
A pity that the other one (from suicide pact) saved Sato from the Carbon Monoxide in the tent.
I have to say, I felt slightly dissatisfied about how the manga ended..
I felt that after all the problems, it tied up too neatly.
Still, I enjoyed it overall.
I'm not happy with the ending of manga too, but anime version has a better ending i think.
Anime ending is closer to the novel at least.
I first read this online. I recently bought all of them though because I liked it so much. But when I first read it I thought there were only 38 chapters so I thought the end of chapter 38 was it. Although It was very depressing it makes sense. The manga though is so full of emotion though I don't think I've ever read anything else that made me feel so much. I liked the actual ending though even though it was more unrealistic it wasn't that unrealistic. Satou and Yamazaki were still trying to make a galge and Satou was still unemployed. I loved it though my favorite manga by far
