What is this guy so depressed about?
He's only 22 and can easily go back to college and come out at 26 and that wouldn't be that old. He's practically a kid still barely older than zoomers you see nowadays.
This series would have had more weight if he was in his mid 30s at least, but anime for some reason is allergic to having old people as protaganists.

You can't make an anime about a person who's older than 25. Your arse will fall off and you'll die if you try. At least this is what anime studios actually believe in the current century.

It's because he's lazy and a procastinator.
>lazyness + procastination = "It's fine, I'm going to do it tomorrow"
>don't do it at all
>fail college because of that
>sudden realization of your failures and that in order to get anywhere in life you need to work a lot
>still lazy (don't want to work) but now you are also afraid of failure
>anxiety
>social anxiety because you now think that everyone is making fun of you because of your failures
>withdraw from society, hikikomori
>depression

Quads of truth, op is a native to the Any Forums website where anime and white supremacy is a common discussion.

if you don't go to good uni and then get good office job before graduating your life is over in japan

no, its starts before that, if you don't go to a good highschool you don't go to a good uni, if your parents don't move to the right area you cant attend a good highschool. Its the same everywhere in the world.

>itt: Americans believing their experiences to be universal. Again.
Japanese society is very particular about the timing for finding a job because they expect to hire young freshmen and teach them on the job. If you don't enter university by 18 and graduate by 22 every single job interviewer will look at you weird.
There is a reason most japs only try the uni's entrance exam once. Also, a lot of them only go through the very extensive job hunting process once, and if they fail it's Mcdonald's or sudoku. No kidding March/April in Tokyo every single train runs late because of the number of people jumping on the tracks.

a bunch of possibilities: JSDF, day labor, good job through connections, learning English and hanging out with foreigners instead, yakuza, dealing drugs to foreigners, moving to Hawaii...
I'm not sure which one is most popular though. Probably drinking and pachinko.

Become part-time, factory, or construction workers, mostly. There are still jobs, but white-collar "salaryman" jobs are tough to get. Another problem is that usually salary is tied with seniority so it doesn't matter if you were the executive director somewhere else, your pay will still be shit when you join a company. IT companies can be an exception and some function very similarly to western companies (i.e. Rakuten). Now that I think of it, the only successful drop-out I know was a dude working with neural networks who got hired by a company one year before graduation.

What, does every job in Japan require a degree?

Well I'm a former hikki only two years younger than you and I recently fucked a 19 year old girl... huge mistake. I thought because she had 2 kids she'd be mature.
You should just stick to women your age. Maybe a bit younger if you want kids. But ignore the whole "missing out on teenage love" meme. It's a troll.
Basically what was wrong with the protagonist is he was coming to terms with a cruel and unfair world. It's a rough and dirty process.

He wasn't a failure because he was depressed, he was depressed because he was a failure. He completely messed up and had a bunch of unhealthy addictions, plus parents that enabled his behavior. Once the enabling disappeared, he was forced to find work.
