Yet, we know that Nagi won't REALLY stop being a Hikikomori, and Hina won't get more honest about herself. So we've got our chuckle time - and nothing changed. Couldn't we have at least baby steps?
And I feel guilty because I enjoyed the Hina chapter and sighed at the Nagi one. It feels a bit hypocritical, but I guess it's simply because I feel it simpler to forgive Hina's vices. She's at least AWARE of it.

And yet... At least, Nagi was convinced to stop being a Hikikimori. Sure, she'll backslide next time the author wants to make a gag about her, but this once, she decided to go to school.
Hina never decided to ask Hayate for a massage. All that happened is that her ploys failed, but she got still what she wanted handed to her.
