Yeah it does. Wiki explains it better I guess D:
Quote:
Hikikomori (ひきこもり or 引き籠もり, Hikikomori?, lit. "pulling away, being confined", i.e., "acute social withdrawal") is a Japanese term to refer to the phenomenon of reclusive individuals who have chosen to withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement because of various personal and social factors in their lives. The term hikikomori refers to both the sociological phenomenon in general as well as to individuals belonging to this societal group.
I guess it's somewhat like AS...but...not exact?
The anime 'NHK ni Youkoso' portrays a hikki main character.
