I linked this to friend and told they are mother and daughter. Friend couldn't say for sure which one is which. But as far as art goes, the "parents look too young" is only complaint I can come up with.

I'm beginning to think Neeko doesn't have any real psychological problems, or at least nothing exceptional. Instead her problem is nerves (that we all had at one time or another) and getting way too comfortable in her comfort zone.

Of course, you could alternately see it as recognizing that throwing the book away would be an admission of defeat, whereas she can maintain the limbo/denial of reality so long as she keeps the book, even if she never opens it.

Well there were previous pages that stated Neet-chan knows "Something should be done" but then gets stuck back in her lazy habits. Hell, some of the better real life neets out there somewhat are able to get some sort of semi-sidejob on the internet somehow. May not be a full time job kinda thing, but some money is better than no money.

Wow, I admit I legit thought she threw away the job-hunting book. It's good to see that even Neeko retains some hope of one day re-entering the work force, bleak as the chances may seem right now.

Up until now the author's done a great job of playing straight the dismal nature of Neeko's behavior and mental health as a NEET rather than simply sugar-coating it up alongside her eye-candy looks like most authors would. That said it's nice to see a heart-warming scene like this rather than just another cringe-worthy punch to the gut.

Actually, I think what she did was that she switched the removable book cover of the palm-reading book with the job-hunting one, out of fear that her mother might discover it and lecture her about it.
What she didn't expect is that it's a book her mother would like to read.
