#Neto-juu no Susume

[sheikahwarriork]

If you wanna play some angst with a modern twist I'd recommend something alike "Recovery of an MMO Junkie": a wholesome anime in which the main character (a woman in her 30s in the original anime) decides to leave their job and enters into videogames to spend their free time... it has themes like depression, job burtout and online friendship... The anime is very wholesome and all the main characters are people in their 30s who are barely starting to date and meet people...

tldr;;;;

Dimitri leaves his job in his 30s because he is serverly burned out and depressed and since he already has a ton of money decides to isolate himself and play videogames all day (Imagine a huge online videogame like genshin impact/FFXIV), he meets a lot of people online and he slowly starts to recover. His character is the how he'd like to present himself or more like acadimitri to other people: preppy, super polite and kind, he meets Byleth's character and they become friends online and offline (without knowing who the other is!).

Imagine Dimitri's character something like pink haired magical girl and Byleth's... pretty much Jeralt (whom Death's she's not done recovering from).

Even if don't like the prompt I'd still recomend the anime to you, it's very wholesome if you like some nice adult romance (in the sense that the protagonists are mature adults not in the R18 sense LOL).

it's been too long since i got this ask (and i'm so sorry about being SO LATE-) but FINALLY i watched this anime so i can properly reply!!

first, thank you so much anon for the recommendiation, i loved the anime a lot! it's silly, it's cute, it's funny, and it's also a bit angsty- just like yuzu likes u.u

(some spoilers about "Recovery of an MMO Junkie" ahead)

i can totally see dimitri as moriko. a depressed modern dima is 100% going to indulge in videogames as an escapism copying method ( :c ).

i could make byleth work in sakurai's role, maybe erasing some of his original shyness (dimitri would work as him too!! but i prefer your original idea <3) and with more straightforwardness, but still! byleth would be super supportive of her online friend, no matter the game they play in 🥺

(also, im sorry but moriko and sakurai are LITERAL SOULMATES??? them being best online buddies in not one but TWO videogames? they finding the other in every universe...... so dimileth coded u.U anon you should know i spent all the anime screaming in delightful :'] )

also, evil of me, but what about sylvain as koiwai? i usually love when sylvain is watching dimileth pining for each other and decides to step in to help them- and it's exactly what koiwai does :'] to make this idea work similar to the in-anime story, maybe i could go like this:

sylvain is dimitri's childhood friend but in adulthood they didn't stay in touch much; meanwhile sylvain and byleth became work collegues. (of course sylvain tried to flirt wit byleth at first, but she quickly made clear she was NOT interested, and eventually they became friends.) after *insert shenanigans that makes byleth and dimitri meet irl*, sylvain meets dimitri again and convince him to go out a bit; this way sylvain notices dimitri is starting to have a crush over byleth so he starts doing his evil dimileth plans (are his eyes deceiving sylvain, or byleth has just smiled for the first time since he met her while talking to dimitri?). "unplanned" dimileth date, leaving them alone together, making dimitri jealous, forcing them to play together so they can discover their online identities? all sylvain's superb mastermind!

(also sorry but kanbe gave me felix vibes lol)

also, i LOVED that moriko and sakurai's characters were switched gender, so i'm totally with you about giving dimitri a madoka-style avatar and byleth a jeralt-like one :'] if i must be honest, the whole "oh nooo irl people cant know i play as a man in game" from moriko ended up tiring me a bit (not that it isnt well done, but it got too long as a "plot issues" imo while it wasnt an issues for anyone xD), but i totally can see dimitri worrying about this same thing, my boy's fav hobby is worrying about meaningless thing; just for byleth to end his gendercrysis issues in a sec (also yes- why not having nonbinary dimitri in the end? 👉👈)

moriko's eternal hunger works best for byleth of course; but it won't stop me from making "dimitri-wants-cheese" jokes uwu

i'm not sure when (or IF c.c) i'll find the time to write a fic with this plot, but anon know you always give me great dimileth ideas and i'm GRATEFUL for that, ily <3

'Recovery of an MMO Junkie' Review

'Recovery of an MMO Junkie' Review - Out now from @madman

Thanks to Madman we had the chance to watch ‘Recovery of an MMO junkie’ (Neto-juu no Susume) on a DVD/Blu-ray/Digital combo.

‘Recovery of an MMO junkie’ is a refreshing anime that, for once, is not fixated on teenagers or school girls but on young adults who already have to deal with jobs and all the other mundanities of life.

One day, Moriko Morikawa, a 30 year-old woman decides to quit her…

I want to scream, this freaking anime dude.

It always leaves on a cliffhanger goddamit.

Like he already said it but... How did she react???

Aaaah I hate watching anime that's transmitting, I have to wait another freaking week and this anime makes me tremble with nerves.

[getoffthesoapbox]

hi ^^ are you watching any anime this season?

I am, actually! I meant to do a post on my choices, but I’m so backlogged with other things that the fall anime season will be over before I get to to it, fufu!

I’ll give you the quick ‘n’ dirty run-down. ;)

“Best” of season so far

Inuyashiki (seriously if anyone is an anime fan among my followers I cannot recommend this series enough)

Neto-juu no Susume  ( 

Solid Keepers

Mahoutsukai no Yome

Just Because!

Kujiria no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau

Continuations/Sequels

Himouto Umaru-chan R

Kekkai Sensen

Everything else I’ve dropped. I was expecting a more impressive season (originally I was interested in about 20 series), but I’m still pleased with the few gems I did manage to find (excluding the sequels of course, since I was already assured of what I was getting with them). ;)

Thanks for asking! I’ll try to do better during the winter season, fufu. 

[snowflower-scans]

Thank you for picking up Neto-juu no Susume! :) I have been reading it since the previous translations, but they stopped. So I'm glad someone picked this up! ^^

You’re most very welcome! Thank you so much for supporting us and we really hope we can get the 6th chapter to you soon~

Announcement

Hey guys!

So, we’re just gonna make a small announcement here.

SFS is gonna take a break from 19th December until 2nd January (2 weeks). We won’t do any release during that duration.

One more thing, some of you might be wondering when are we going to release Neto-juu no Susume. Unfortunately, while we’re working hard to release it, other group beats us and release it first. So it looks like it’s not our luck to take over that manga. We are actually done with chapter 6, but our typesetter by the name Tor***shii went MIA after saying they have uploaded the typeset chapter, when in fact nothing has been uploaded. 

That’s all.

Have a happy holiday guys^^

[getoffthesoapbox]

aw, you dropped houseki no kuni? although i was skeptical about it at first, it's my pick for best of the season! it's so beautiful. also enjoying net juu no susume

Haha, yeah, the art style for Houseki no Kuni bugs me for some reason–I was truly looking forward to it too, but I couldn’t make it through more than five minutes of it due to the noodle people (normally I like noodle people, but I couldn’t get behind this style for some reason). Sadly sometimes art styles don’t click with me and I have to miss out on shows that would otherwise be gems. ;) 

Isn’t Neto-juu no Susume great?! I cannot believe how lucky we are that some kind soul thought it a good idea to make an anime out of it! For obasan gamer types like me it’s a real gift! =)
