Although it was a little bit late to review this manga, I must say that Oku Hiroya once again produced a peculiar yet stunning substance in his artwork. Me-Teru no Kimochi is set to expose an abnormal life of Hikikomori in Japan. Well, if you know what a typical Hikkimori does, it actually quite different with this plot. The story involves a 30 years old virgin named Shintaro Koizumi, who’s been locked in his room for 15 years since his mother’s death. His father, Yasujirou Koizumi has tried to help him but Shintaro has kept on staying in his room until one day his father strike a different approach of conversation with his son. Yasujirou then starts to talk about woman’s good points. Shintaro then challenges him that if he can get a girl then Shintaro will come out of his room. His father agrees with that agreement. Nevertheless the old and balding Yasujirou actually has a secret that he’s been going out with a young, beautiful and attractive girl, Yoshinaga Haruka (yes, please read this twice). Yasujirou and Haruka finally decide to get married, but unfortunately Yasujirou dies on their honeymoon. Now, alone while being a widow Haruka decides to take care of her step-son, and so this weird “mother and son” story begins. Yadda yadda :3
