Someone should make a new hikikomori/neet manga. There's been a lot more developments since NHK and it's way better understood now since it's more common. It wouldn't even be unreasonable for a mangaka to actually understand the condition well and to make a pointed analysis about it which shows actual real solutions for how people get out of it. Spoiler alert, it's not by waiting for a Misaki.
Most common type of neet is someone who lived their life just by relying on external motivation and never building any internal motivation and then got taken away from their old environment (like Satou, who moved away from his family and started college) so they're stuck in place while not knowing why or how to build internal motivation, a new external motivator like Misaki is just a band-aid and will not fix it long term. Other common possibility is Puer Aeternus, which is also something a Misaki wouldn't be able to help with unless they're a trained shrink (and even then it's so and so).
