Throughout the anime, especially in the first few episodes, Moriko Morioka
makes reference to being a NEET on purpose. At the beginning of the anime, she
walks home with some flowers. Later on in the anime, there are comments and
innuendo suggesting she did not quit, but was fired. At least, she is
embarrassed the same way someone who was fired would be.

Did she purposefully quit her job, or was she let go for some reason?

Did Moriko Morioka quit her job or was she fired?


**She quit on her own.**

While Moriko's introduction [in the beginning of the story in the original
source (web manga,
Japanese)](http://www.comico.jp/detail.nhn?titleNo=27&articleNo=1) doesn't
explicitly state that she quit,

![Moriko's introduction](https://i.stack.imgur.com/QHJYOl.png)

[her character profile in the anime's official site
(Japanese)](http://netoju.com/menu/character) does, instead of "fired" or
other reasons.

> 高卒から **働いた会社を辞め** 、ニートになった30歳、独身。  
>  Single, 30-year-old NEET, **left a company she worked at** after graduating
