"Im sorry, I know I am no expert, but I cant help but wonder why he was never given the emotional tools to cope with lifes setbacks."
Try, because he is a guy. Ever wonder how daughters are given so much attention and affection? Sometimes it's hard to be a guy. The only advantage we have is that our clocks are not ticking. For everything else, it's tough being a guy.

No. It's the LACK of money that is the root of all evil. Think about it. The world would be better off if everyone was rich, and robots were the ones working crap jobs for minimum wages.

"Yeah, right. And in the 80s they said we would have flying cars by now."
Actually, we already have turbine-powered flying cars. But the price tag is something in the $3 Million dollars range.

"for temporary workers housed in company dormitories, losing a job is tantamount to losing the roof over your head."
Does it seem to anyone else that in Japan, there is such a huge stigma to living with your parents?

I doubt he would have done this, if he didn't lose his job. Money is the root of all evil...
Also, this article is lame in that it makes it sound like it's such a huge stigma to be a loner and have no friends. Be as lonely as you want to. Don't let anybody stop you.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! There's only one way to drill her, sort to speak. The most erogenous part of a woman is her brain, not her actual sexual organ. You want her to orgasm? Go read a romance novel!

People read too much mangas/watch too much anime. It is a case similar to Misa adoring Light Yagami's work.

Good call. You guys are 100% correct. It is post-partum depression.

We'll miss you Ako...
Btw, this is the same phenomenon as medical doctors who commit suicide during their tough residency years. Basically, when you are over-worked, your life becomes lifeless (ie. everything you used to enjoy doesn't seem to be enjoyable anymore). This is medically termed "anhedonia", and is probably the PRIME reason why Ako and medical doctors in the US alike would want to commit suicide.
