This synopsis struck me as rather odd - or is the manga really different?

I've seen the anime and read the book... in both, Satou is an anxious mess, sure, but he's not intoxicated or paranoid 24/7, his NHK thoughts are more occasional and at the extremes of his delusions, and his belief is just that Misaki's true purpose is to mess with his head (actually...100% true!).

As I recall it, the synopsis should've read something to the lines of:
"Shut-in anxious loner (hikikomori) Satou rarely leaves his tiny apartment and begins to grow delusional, but two opposing influences unexpectedly force themselves into his life!
A new neighbor, Yamazaki is a younger perverted otaku, an unwanted comrade-in-arms, and later friend. He has admired and idolized Satou since school, where he inadvertently rescued Yamazaki from bullies while trying to show off before a girl. Also, a mysterious girl Misaki, who appears to proselytize for some strange cult*, has vowed to "cure" Satou and return him to society..."

* - remember, this is Japan, where Christianity itself is unusual enough, but smaller proselytizing Protestant sects would be seen as alien and downright bizarre

...OR is the manga really THAT different?

"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong
