'Hikikomori,' a phenomenon of extreme social withdrawal, is a recurring theme in manga, particularly in more realistic or slice-of-life narratives. Characters might be depicted struggling with social anxieties, isolation, and the pressures of modern Japanese society. Manga often explores the psychological impact of this condition.
