Which part of it is misinformation? I just don't see it relevant to be there period, especially when we have NEET as a page.

Well that title has "No relation" to the UK slang term NEET - except it does technically as I explain. The title character of the manga is a NEET in the Japanese sense so the term does actually mean "Not in Education, Employment or Training Princess Terrass". But regardless I lean toward pulling it and maybe changing this bit:

"Of course, Haru can't get over the idea that a real life princess is right past that door... And can't leave well enough alone. He finally gets inside her Fort Knox style room, only to discover the horrible, horrible truth: Princess Terrass is a total Otaku Hikikomori!"

To maybe change Hikikomori to NEET or at least add NEET in there somewhere. I just wanted to double check I wasn't missing something.

So I can't think of anything right now... meh.

e: misread

The Hikikomori part is accurate, so if NEET should be mentioned somewhere it's best to rethink the full description.

Probably, should I ask somewhere on the forums or just rework it myself? I am always wary of making big edits to work descriptions unlike adding tropes to pages.

So I can't think of anything right now... meh.

I think it's just intended as a disambiguation. I'd cut it.

I've cut it and linked this discussion in the reason

I know this was resolved, just pointing out that we're cutting "not to be confused with..." lines like that as a rule now, anyway, unless there is a legitimate source of confusion (i.e. two actual works with (near)identical names)
