Synopsis

"What do you do for work?"

When confronted with this question, the 23-year-old Nemuko Niito, nicknamed Neeko, can only shrink away in embarrassment. Despite her loving family's nudges and encouragement, she has so far failed all her job interviews. Life is never more difficult as the unemployed NEET spends her anxiety-filled days holed up in her home, trying to avoid judgmental gazes and despairing at the success of others.

In a world where life is harsh and nothing but the depressing and anxiety-inducing reality strikes you in the face every single living moment you have, you begin to be someone like Neeko, whom is the main character of our dear manga titled “It’s Hard Being Neeko” (Neeko wa tsurai yo, respectively), where it brands itself as a “Painful but fun popular slice of life comedy”, and only the first word of that is really true.

this is suprisingly such a good read. my personal opinion but the amateur aspect of this work actually makes it good.
art 7/10 it is pretty rough but the reactions are funny so i will give it a high score
story 6/10 it is pretty mediocre
plot 6/10 average, decent enough. it gets worse overtime and i feel like author just wanted to end the manga, but i am fine with that nonetheless.
characters 7/10 i love how relatable Neeko is and how the other characters are very supportive of her, it is good
dialogue 7/10 it is good
enjoyment 9.5/10 very good read

overall 7.1/10, recommended

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (Unknown/41 eps)
It's a very good series, but I think the comedy tag only fits about a quarter of the time due to the much more realistic way it treats the situation compared to most other manga. If you are someone who has ever dealt with social anxiety, then while you may enjoy the series, you should expect to feel depressed while reading it.

Neeko is a very realistic character, and she can be considered a very detailed depiction of real NEETS. Most manga and anime will use NEETS as a stand-in for a lazy, useless type of person, but seeing Neeko provides you with a much more ...
