Japan’s New Weapon Against NEETs & Hikikomori: Miruku

I really do hope this work. So, there won't have all these NEET roaming around and not socialize with other human being.

Miruku Is kinda cute!~

Well, as far as I know, Japaneses have otaku problem at their own wish. The social construction of the Japanese society is rather simple: rat race from kindergarden to retirement. You must be better than others, you must get to the better school, you must get to Toudai to mean something in the society. Every Japanese is indoctrinated from a small child, that wellness of the society is most important, he, as the unit, as the private person is meaningless from the point of society, as an ant from the point of view of the whole ant colony.
Moreover: not many people have so much psychic resistance to withstand this pressure. Every thinking human will get to the point, that if something is painful and does not give him any bonus, everything goes to society - this person will raise mutiny and this is why so many persons are hikikomori. Do you know, how much is a small condo in Tokyo or Osaka (I do not mention the cost of a house in Japan)? And that the majority of Japanese youth sees, that this money is substantially more, than they will likely earn in their life?
What is the sense of living on the earth, when you have no hope, when you see, that you will be the slave of the employer and the landlord for all your life?
I am not Japanese, I am Polish. And I think, that if I were a Japanese, I would become a hikikomori. I would be the perfect fit for this. And probably I would finish in a car with a charcoal oven lit up. Thanks to God I do not live in Japan. I HATE rat-race and fighting for the existence. I can work hard, like building a house for myself, but I hate to compete with others for this house. I think, hikikomori is somebody like me living in Japanese reality. I do not fit mentally to hierarchical and homogenous society. I consider myself as the entity capable to live independently on others. I am myself, I belong to myself, not to a society. I am the nail not to be knocked into the row.

I really can't think of anything much than long phallic objects penetrating all her orifices. Oh, /r/ Rule 34 please.

Using an anime character to lure otaku to get out of their homes? Seems a litle counter-productive to me.

First national a bird, now a national loli? I expected japan`s to don a kimono or miko outfit.

Here's an idea: Get a big studio to make a moe anime with Mikuru but limit the broadcast to job recruiting offices. No cameras allowed.

Or hire some idols to do the job recruiting.

If that doesn't work, that NEET or hikki is a lost cause...

can we get a word for word translation?

Well, nothing more to do than to start placing bets on how many doujins featuring Miruku will have the plot as something along the lines of "NEETs gangbang Miruku at Support Station."

I'm gonna go with all of them.

This is quite a NEET idea. :V

What is the name of the unemployment company that used her as a mascot?

And why is it so hard to find pics of her? All I can find is pics from a lame anime comedy called "super milk chan" which has NOTHING to do with this company.

Why don't they just bribe us out into the open with lolis?

I bet it could have some effect

I read Mikuru at first. Because you know...the combination of "milk" and "Miruku" makes you think of mikuru.

She's actually kinda cute.

Wow, they seem to have hit the nail on the head.

Except they might have missed slightly and crushed their thumbs, instead.

Miruku needs more loli and less boobs.
Staying inside today.

Well, last time I checked, the Japanese Government IS quite prone to use Anime-oriented themes for their ads and marketing... not just the Government mind you.
They usually go for cute or moe stuff it seems though.

Not going to work.

The Gov' can pay studios/mangakas and use their characters.
Imagine a crazed NEET who thinks he is married to a 2D character and then she tells him to get a job/get out etc.
Could be a more effective method, no?

"paying taxes to support the oppressive weight of the unreformed pension system"

Perhaps the NEETs and Hikikomori are just going John Galt???

When I saw the name Mikuru, I was expecting someone a little bustier . . . .

I have a job and do go out for it and back home but i still live like an hikikomori.
What would japan do throw me into the middle of society,free parties and stuff??

I rarely go out,but still not such an extreme case as an hikikomori actualy is.

NEET: Not educating, employing or in training right?

On her blog it says she lives on a dairy farm? That would explain her name. On another note, I am quite impressed at how well Google translate works.

Lol, I have just taken a look at the blog. She is 22 years old?! Feel the power of unaging loli XD

This wont work! It's another conspiracy I tell ya!

Rule 35

hope there success but somehow I think it useless a little - -''

Lol are you serious? When you can kill your own family because you don't want to go outside, I highly doubt that this will work. Also IT'S A TRAP!

The next stage is goverment doujinshis.

The idea is great, but the timing is bad. With economy recession worldwide, people are losing jobs rather than having jobs opportunities

Unless they somehow offer exclusive content or figures by going to the Support Station I can't see this working too well.

new 2d wife?

coming soon Mikuru H doujin, fully sponsored by goverment!!

in before a shitload of miruku hentai everywhere

First the problem was that the help was on stations outside their rooms, now the problem is that she helps online, then there's no hope for them... well they don't have a problem with that as I understand, so it's not exactly help.

What's she wearing? Shop lady uniform or is it a school uniform? Hopefully, the former. 22 is a bit too old for school. :P (at least that doesn't make her a NEET)

Miruku was secretly abused as a child and is only offering this opportunity so she has a chance to see there are people worse off than she. Eventually Miruku will fall in love with her subjects, but by that point they will have discovered her secret and not want to be in a relationship with her. Misaki will then try to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff near her hometown.

I mean Miruku.

NEET-kun, Miruku hate people that doesn't work-nyu!
Hikikomori san, please socialize with miruku's friends nyu!
if you do that, miruku will be super ultra hyper happy nyu!

("Nyu" is from gyuunyu, the japanese of milk, miruku.)

Can't wait for C76

And so another Net persona appears

I'm not movin'h until they start doing loli catgirls do the job.

I'm not going out even if they pay me :P

Is it Rozen-Aso's doing?

Anyway, I think for it to have any effect at all they haven't gone all-out enough with this...

Oh man, you guys have to read some of the comments in the blog.

"The government wants otaku NEETs and hikikomori integrated into society and properly employed (or rather, paying taxes to support the oppressive weight of the unreformed pension system)."

Here's an idea: How about reforming the old pension system? Or would that be too big of an issue? I know here in the US, the way things are set up, the Department of Antisocial Insecurity is being buried under the weight of debt which has built up over the past several decades. It's only a matter of time before it collapses.

You cannot support a society on a debt-based, welfare system and expect it to survive into perpetuity. I'm not all that certain how the system is set up over in Japan, but since America had it's hand in rebuilding the country after their surrender, I'd imagine it would have a similar (but not necessarily the same)structure.

......................

Still, I love the mascot. XD Can't wait until they have the doujins out.

Perhaps a step towards making something happen, but I do firmly believe if they want NEETs and Hikikomori's to get outside, they must do something to make them more accepted in society. The way Otaku are perceived by the rest of society needs to be changed, which would mean the media needs to stop making all Otaku look like pedophilic serial killers, and start celebrating those who do good for society. One of the reasons they won't go out is because they don't trust society and they fear being ridiculed.

Moe Marketing at work XDD

THIS is a good idea. Appeal to people to do something don't legislate it. You have to coax an animal out of a hole, not scream at it and threaten consequences.

somehow i thought she was giving someone a hand job when i first saw the pic....

Thanks artefact, for corrupting my mind with this awesome site!

The blog says that her name comes from her Father's job at a dairy farm. And in a cheerful aside, she also presents us with the knowledge that her Mother is a teacher!

Fascinating!

Know what? It's new avatar tiem.

If only shes dfc
