Recommended Manga: "The Two Who Don't Work"

This is my first post. I hope to introduce manga that I really want everyone to read. Thank you for your support.

Have you ever encountered a manga or book that changed your outlook on life?
I feel truly fortunate to have come across this manga.

It all started when an acquaintance who loves manga recommended it to me, and I borrowed the volumes.

You can feel the inherent warmth of human beings and the importance of human connections.

This work is a daily gag comedy about Mamoru, a brilliant but unemployed older brother, and Haruko, his younger sister who suffers from social anxiety.
These NEET siblings have an unusually large number of friends. Many characters appear, such as high school classmates, a peeping tom lady, a hostess, a guy who fights bears, a grandfather, a gal mom and her son, and so on.
It is a work that depicts their daily lives.

It's not just a gag manga!

I think this manga is a kind of hymn to humanity.
Reading this work made me think about how people should live.

In the story, people appear who criticize Mamoru and the others, saying, "People who don't work are losers" or "They are no good."
It is certainly true that working and earning money is necessary and important for living a human life.
However, is it enough for us today to just work and earn money? Are there other things that are more important?

Reading this work made me think that true "happiness" might lie in our connections with those around us.

Mamoru and Haruko don't work or earn money, but they look happier than anyone else (though that's to be expected since it's fiction).

Also, they have an unusually large number of friends.
The story of the two who don't work is also a story about how Mamoru and Haruko enrich and make the people around them happy.
Many people who are saved by Mamoru and Haruko appear in the story.
They unintentionally heal people who have become exhausted in society.
They are the type of people who can reach out a hand when someone is in trouble.
It is rare to find people like them who can have a positive influence not only on themselves but also on the people around them.

They are cool for being able to enrich the lives of those around them, and I admire them.
Don't you think that way of living is wonderful?

I also want to be like Mamoru and the others, able to enrich the lives of those around me in my daily life and work (I don't mean I want to be a NEET, haha).

A special medicine for when you're feeling down

The Two Who Don't Work is a work that gently soaks into a sunken spirit.
I read this manga when I've had a bad day or when I'm feeling troubled.

It seriously works. It's medicine in book form. I think everyone in the world who is feeling unwell should read this.

Strangely, my heart feels lighter, and I feel like I can try my best again. That's how much power this work has.
It's a form of escapism in a good way, and it puts me in a positive mood.
