Well, "NEET" is the acronym for the adjective "Not in Employment, Education and Training", whose equivalent in the Spanish language would be "NiNi", which means "Neither Study nor Work". Now, NEETs are commonly associated with otakus or hikikomori, but they do not mean the same.
"Hikikomori" is a term that refers to people (mostly teenagers) who have given up a life in society and spend time locked in their room. On the other hand, "otaku" is a term to refer to a person with an obsession with something excessively, although it is also a way to refer to people who are fans of anime, manga and video games. Knowing this, it is time to review seven series that have represented these social phenomena, and that achieved great popularity among fans:
