Hikikomori: Difference between revisions

* In the soccer manga ''Meister'', one of the [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] in the school's soccer team is Koori Taira, an admitted hikikomori who seems dually based on L from ''[[Death Note]]'' and Gosunkugi from ''[[Ranma ½]]''. He's antisocial, confrontational, self-centered, and seems to think he has hypnotic powers. But he's also the core of the team's defense and a generally unstoppable engine on the field.

* Yuu Matsuura in ''[[Marmalade Boy]]'' was this close to become a hikikomori at age 12, {{spoiler|when he found a letter written by his grandmother, which hinted that the man he knew as his dad wasn't his biological father.}}

** {{spoiler|Watanuki}} also becomes one; not being able to leave {{spoiler|the shop}} except under very specific conditions is the price {{spoiler|he}} has to pay for {{spoiler|continued existence}}.

* Chiba Seiya from ''[[Flunk Punk Rumble]]'' became one three days into the school year because of a bunch of delinquents looking for him. The main characters managed to get him out of his room though, by beating the crap out of the said delinquents.
