Welcome to the N.H.K. · review
Welcome to The NHK is a darkly funny, sad and sometimes disturbing manga. The characters are well thought out and you genuinely grow to care for them even with all their flaws. I know most people would compare this to Palahniuk’s (writer of Fight Club) work, but I beg to differ. Whereas Palahniuk romanticizes the underworld and outcasts, this does the complete opposite. Most of the humor is found at the expense of the characters and their sad, absurd situations. The story tends to drag every once in a while, but the characters and overall story get you through those couple of moments. This would bedifficult for me to recommend, because I would think only people of a certain niche would enjoy this. If you are planning on reading this you must have a dark sense of humor. Overall I enjoyed this it was a lot of fun to read.
