the criminal arc has left me with a permanent feeling of dread for NEET. even though it wouldn't be weird at all for the "main" storyline to be a positive one, I am still just waiting for some horrible thing to happen.

Calling that the medium researches NEET ahead of time and pretends to channel his parents, cryptic references to forgiving him for "what he did."

NEET then outs himself as a convicted murderer by jumping to his own defense

Yeah, an angry/tearful verbal :neet: by Tohru claiming his innocence would hardly convince anyone, after the idiotic self-defeating Tohro already (falsely) admitted years ago to murdering his parents, and spent many years in prison for his 'crimes'. (Of course his oldies actually suicided out of not atypical Japanese guilt, in this case from having raised a would-be serial/berzerker killer, Tohru was googling up some methods when his old man caught him.)

I think I have all that correct. It certainly makes for more interesting soap opera than the TV variety, except maybe for the excellent eponymous Soap. I've almost given up distinguishing the multiple NEET timelines' plots, but still greatly enjoy the comic.

Re the last, Dear '-eak' , how about posting a funding link below (and I promise to donate). I've lost track of the purported many translators too, but do have a hypothesis somewhat similar to the last part of the movie Psycho, which I won't go into any further out of respect.

Edit: I hope y'all like my new avatar. :)

I'm not sure about Japanese culture. Murdering your parents is obviously bad, but would it be much better to have had your parents kill themselves because they could not live with the shame of having you as a son?

Medical research has proven that when people are warm and bored, they perceive time as seeming to move slower.

So yes, if you can sponge heating off someone, like your parents. That or get a boring job in a heated building.

Loosely meaning ‘obligation chocolate’, this gift is given to friends, bosses, family members, work colleagues or other men who the giver isn’t romantically involved with.

Friendship/obligatory chocolate is a pretty well-established cultural thing in Japan, IIRC.

You only have to give the girichoco to other men colleagues if I'm understanding the article correctly

fake edit: I didnt read the article enough apparently. there's a thing called tomo-choco lady friends give to each other.
