For all of us who have finished school and gone into the world of finding a job, will truly relate to this show. This story is not only of some guy having a hard time staying in one job, but also of growth and realizing the importance of family. The main character goes through a transition of someone who is impatient, and blames his misfortunes on others and society, to a man who learns to accept and embrace his shortcomings while appreciating things he has taken for granted. These are the main points I liked of Freeter, a believable and easily relate-able story that helped me realize some of my own mistakes in life. On the other side, Freeter is tagged as a romance, but do not look forward to see much of that as it is to expect from Japanese stories that include "Romance," there is almost none of it. Relationships wise, Freeter focuses more on the family which at the beginning struggle to express their true feelings to each other, but gradually develop for the better. If you feel like watching a story of growth, and enjoy family dramas, this is a good recommendation, on the other hand do not expect to see much romance.
