Chapter 02 - "Welcome to the Lolita!"

Welcome to the Lolita! ("Rorīta ni yōkoso!", ロリータにようこそ!) is the second chapter of the Welcome to the N.H.K manga.

Synopsis
Tatsuhiro heads to the park, feeling as if he would be stood up. Misaki asks him why he ran away earlier, and if it's because he is hikikomori like she expects. She tells him that she's known about him for a long time and has come to rescue him from being a hikikomori. Misaki Nakahara tries to convince Tatsuhiro Satou to sign a contract with her, whereby he will be obligated to listen to her as she tries to ease him out of his hikikomori lifestyle. Misaki explains that she was only assisting her aunt in the solicitation the other day because she wanted to compensate for all the trouble she caused her. Tatsuhiro rejects her accusation that he is hikikomori. When Misaki asks his profession, he fibs to her that he is a program designer to defend his integrity.

He begs to Yamazaki for help, and Yamazaki becomes increasingly more frustrated since Satou has no marketable skills to defend his lie. When Satou agrees to taking a writing role, Yamazaki proposes creating an eroge.

Satou is disgusted by the idea at first, but once he gets a hold of Yamazaki's "reference" material, he collects insane amounts of Lolita porn for an entire week.

Satou nearly loses his insanity and insists that Yamazaki snap photos of him as he takes pictures of preteen schoolgirls, in an ironic attempt to rid himself of his Lolita complex. Yamazaki absconds without Satou's knowledge and Misaki catches him red-handed. Satou explains his actions in a flustered manner, but Misaki isn't really disgusted by it. She only sees him as an even more suitable applicant for her project.
