Description
This is the first English translation of a controversial Japanese bestseller that made the public aware of the social problem of hikikomori, or "withdrawal"βa phenomenon estimated by the author to involve as many as one million Japanese adolescents and young adults who have withdrawn from society, retreating to their rooms for months or years and severing almost all ties to the outside world.
