Welcome To The NHK is a fantastic anime, and manga, and book. All three forms of media are a little different, but they all follow Satou and Misaki's journey. Satou, a Hikikomori(A Shut-In who has kep himself cooped up in his room for years),he is a character who is likeable because he is so aware of his own problems, but is too afraid to try and really fix them. Yamazaki, who is a lonely Otaku, gains the Viewer/Reader's sympathy because of his friendship with Satou. Misaki is at first sort of mysterious, with the Viewer/Reader not knowing her exact motives for doing what she does.
The book came first, and it is quite different from either the Manga and Anime, but it is worth a read because it is where the story of Satou was born.
The Manga came second, and the plot of it actually covers more story than the Anime. It is an excellent series with good art and adds more to the story that the book created, such as fleshing out the character of Hitomi Kashiwa, Satou's Senpai who he is in Unrequited(for the most part) love with.
The Anime came last, and while it has some OffModel animation, it is still a great series and is well worth watching.
