The name of the novel is Satou right? I may check it out if i can get a hold of a copy, what's it about...or did i miss that journal?

No, the protagonist is Satou, the novel is called Welcome to the NHK! To sum it up, the guy Satou is a 22 year old college drop out who's become a hikikomori, or a severe recluse. He's been only leaving his apartment for food, is totally maladjusted, takes drugs on a regular basis, is frequently suicidal, and, what's worse, his allowance will run out soon meaning he'll get kicked out of his apartment.

What happens is, one day some missionaries come by his house and one of them is a teenage girl, uninterested in the activity. However, later she meets Satou in the park and makes him sign a contract to allow her to cure himself of being a hikikomori. Along the way, he meets up with an old high school friend--his next door neighbor, actually--and they decide to make the best erotic game ever. If it sounds stupid, then my descriptions cannot give it justice, but it starts out good and gets even better.

Oh, and as for the title, the initials stand for the Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai (Japan Broadcasting Association) but the main character believes he's uncovered a conspiracy and that it actually stands for Nihon Hikikomori Kyōkai (Japan Hikikomori Association) and that they're the ones to blame for his being so fucked up, so he vows to fight him. I don't wanna spoil it, but I will say this takes on much more significance later.

Like I said, it fluctuates between comedy and tragedy pretty frequently, kind of like Heller's Catch 22 or some of Vonnegut's works, and, if you've seen the anime or read the manga Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, then it's got that kind of feel about it. There's also an anime of Welcome to the NHK! as well as a manga if you feel like reading that.

If nothing else your description has given me motives to go buy that novel. Thankyou:)
