What is a NEET? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Although a NEET isn't specifically anime related, it does come up in anime and manga relatively often. First of all, NEET is an acronym. It stands for Not in Education Employment or Training, and it refers to a person who doesn't have a job, isn't in school, and isn't being trained for anything. They're sometimes referred to as hermits as well, and an example of a NEET is Lucifer from The Devil Is A Part-Timer. Although there are many reasons someone may be a NEET, they're looked down upon in Japan; and by extension Japanese media. This is because working hard is rather important in Japan. However, NEETs in anime and manga are often played off as joke characters. As always, I will be including a picture of Lucifer being a NEET below as an example. Enjoy!
