#WIKI FREETER FULL#
This term was coined by part-time job magazine From A editor Michishita Hiroshi in 1987 and was used to depict a "free" worker that worked less hours, earned pay hourly instead of a monthly paycheck like regular full time workers, and received none of the benefits of a regular full time worker (holiday pay, sick pay, bonus pay, paid leave). As German (along with English) was used in Japanese universities before World War II, especially for science and medicine, arubaito became common among students to describe part-time work for university students. Arubaito is a Japanese loanword from Arbeiter, and perhaps from Arbeit ("work"). The word freeter or freeta is thought to be a portmanteau of the English word free (or perhaps freelance) and the German word Arbeiter ("labourer"). These people do not start a career after high school or university, but instead earn money from low-paid jobs. Freeters may also be described as underemployed. The average age of Freeters is within the range of 15 to 34 years old.

If I can forget who the actor of this drama is and focus on the character itself, it is a good sign. Also, something I always look for: I forgot who Ninomiya was. In reality, this drama did have pieces that bored me, but after watching the drama as a whole, I didn't remember what they were. Maybe that's why it's ratings were so high : 17.1%. This is just me, personally, but I think that anyone can relate to this drama, even just a little bit. The theme was so heavy that I have to admit, I was quite scared. I later decided to tackle this drama and watch the first episode.

But while their personalities clash at first, they gradually come to understand each other."Įven though Ninomiya was in it, the plotline seemed boring so I stayed away from it. Manami is the complete opposite of Seiji.

Because of that, he soon decides to work towards rebuilding his life: "Even though I'm just a freeter, I'm going to buy a house for the sake of my family." One of the people he meets at the construction site is Chiba Manami, who graduated from a top-class university and joined a well-known general contracting firm. However, after his mother falls ill with depression, he ends up having to take on a part-time job at a construction site. With no dreams, no savings, and a poor relationship with his family, he becomes a hikikomori. DramaWiki summarizes it: "The story revolves around Take Seiji, who quits his job after three months. Let me just get to the summary because I have quite a bit to say about this drama.
