The New York Times Magazine article on hikikomori is really weird. I can't imagine kids shutting themselves into their bedrooms for years and years at a time while their parents continue to live int he same house and support them. The whole concept seems surreal, and if this weren't being published in a major newspaper I think I'd believe that it was all made up.
