Oh! my roommates a sociology major she did her thesis on something similar, themes of eastern media escapism with western youth; my masters was in neurology so I focused more on biochemical research which is a lot less interesting(well. interesting to me but very niche) always cool to see stuff like this but man did I get jump scared seeing someone mention a thesis in mangago of all places, good luck though! fighting!!
That’s interesting! And your research area is quite interesting if you explain it to people in easy to understand toddler terms haha, I knowww right but since I wanted the demographics of the people to be manga readers this is the best place and everyone is so supportive!!! I’ve got 800 responses so far!!! Fighting

Hello I’m doing a little survey on Hikikomori and manga, and I need responses from manga readers! That is why I’m posting it on comment sections. Your contribution will greatly help my study! And if you’re interested to know more about it you can dm me! Also it is completely anonymous! I’m doing this study very passionately as it comes from my own personal experience it’s not just to submit my thesis at the end! I’ve been working on this for 3 years! Your help will be really appreciated! here is the link (it’s safe and legit) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfEsHtOEhyUfUQTQwa166Z1yhop9DQ2dlqRfJ-HffF8KuP99Q/viewform?usp=header (For those who already helped me out thanks a bunch love y’all I am going to literally screenshot the thread and add it in my thesis lmao, also I did not expect so many responses this has literally motivated me to post it everywhere (≧∀≦)
