That Is the Bottleneck (2020)

Sore dake ga Neck / それだけがネック

Information

Description

Mutou is a taciturn but reliable part-time employee at a suburban convenience store called Hot Hot Mart. The only thing is: his true appearance is a mystery. To be more precise, his head is constantly covered – be it by some object or even people or animals! Those who happen to catch a glimpse of his face usually run away in panic. However, some people face him indifferently or stay undeterred by his appearance, especially the regular customer Tsukiko. Even when directly looking into his face, she not only stays unfazed by him but beams with joy. What is it about Mutou, and why do people act so differently around him?

That Is the Bottleneck” is a work that criticises the modern world, in which people engage in empty conversations instead of really communicating with their fellow human beings.
Schauplatz dieses Anime ist der Gemischtwarenladen »Hot Hot Mart«. Dort arbeitet der Teilzeitangestellte Mutou, dessen wahres Äußeres ein Mysterium ist. Sein Kopf wird nämlich immerzu von Gegenständen oder sogar Menschen oder Tieren verdeckt. Jene Personen, welche die Möglichkeit erhalten, einen Blick auf sein Gesicht zu erhaschen, rennen oft panisch davon. Doch es gibt auch Menschen, die sich von seinem Aussehen nicht abschrecken lassen oder ihm gleichgültig entgegentreten. Mit Tsukiko hat er sogar eine Stammkundin, die ihn mit einem strahlenden Lächeln anblickt, obwohl sie ihm direkt in sein Gesicht sieht. Was hat es mit Mutou auf sich, und warum verhalten sich die Leute in seiner Gegenwart so unterschiedlich?

Dieser Anime übt Kritik an der modernen Welt, in der die Menschen die Fähigkeit, mit ihren Mitmenschen zu kommunizieren, verloren haben.

  • Mutou

    People in this age talk to one another without looking at each other’s faces. That is why, even in this state, I have been able to interact with people. Without a head, I am able to endure sorrow without tears. But I wish I could talk to Lady Tsuki and my comrades at the store ... Would I be better off with a head or without one? That’s the only thing I’m not sure of ...
