In Germany 2012 appeared two novels named ,,Ich nannte ihn Krawatte’’ written by Milena Michiko Flašar and ,,Hikikomori’’ written by Kevin Kuhn, which mostly examine an extreme japenes social Phenomenon Hikikomori. Hikikomori are young people, who just stay at home in their room and withdraw from the society because of the psychological pressure. In my master’s thesis I will analyze the portrayal of Hikikomori in both mentioned novels and what can be made visible in German literature on the basis of Hikikomori.
