After discovering the wonders of the fantasy online gaming, Tatsuhiro has become even of a hikikomori and the one to find out is Misaki. While Tatsuhiro is trying to acquire rare items in the game, with his new party, Misaki is trying to get him off this new addiction but that may be unnecessary. Tatsuhiro later receives a call from someone from his High School.
Show: Welcome to the N.H.K.
Sato's life – or what's left of it – is a paranoid mess of conspiracy theories and social anxieties. He's terrified of the outside world; his apartment is overflowing with the remnants of cheap take-out food; and his retinas have been permanently scarred by a steady diet of internet porn. But maybe it's not all his fault. After all, the nefarious N.H.K. is out there, and they’re determined to turn society's fringe-dwellers into a brainwashed lot of jobless, hopeless, futureless recluses.
Enter Misaki – a mysterious girl-next-door type who is Sato's last chance to beat-down his inner demons and venture out into the light of day. She's ready to help him overcome his crippling phobias, but Sato would rather cower in his existential foxhole and pretend to work on the demo for his virtual sex game.
He’s afraid to face the world. She's strangely desperate to fix a total stranger. Maybe together they can be normal.
Welcome to the Fantasy!
The phone call from his Mom was about his Dad losing his job, so now Tatsuhiro’s allowance is cut and he needs a source of income. With the free trial he got from the kid in the offline meeting, Tatsuhiro is planning to make money from an MMORPG by selling game items. Yet things don’t go according to plan as he gets hooked on the fantasy life.
Welcome to Reality!
With the Offline Gathering ending without a single fatality, all are reflecting on the reality of what just occurred, except Tatsuhiro who is still angry at Misaki. They all later go to rest and recuperate in a hot springs, where two of the offline gathering members are greeted by their worried parents. Tatsuhiro later returns home, back to his regular hikikomori life, but he later receives a worrying phone call from his mom.
Welcome to Heaven!
On an island that should have been heaven for a hikikomori as become a hell because Tatsuhiro has learnt that the Offline Gathering, he went to with Hitomi, is for people who want to end their lives.
