Why is Ryuunosuke Akasaka's hair so long? It makes him look like a girl. Is
there some explanation to that in the series besides this being a possible
consequence of being a hikkikomori?

Also, Maid-chan (the AI created by him) has a similar appearance. Ryuunosuke
said that he wants to turn her into a real person (sentient AI?) one day. I
suspect this may be related.

Also! Ryuunosuke has gynophobia (he's _so_ afraid of females). This might also
be the reason (in a way).

Why is Ryuunosuke Akasaka's hair so long?


I would imagine his long hair is probably only to make him look like a
hikkomori and support his personality traits. Perhaps it was decided that long
hair and an androgynous figure would lend itself well to a reserved character.

His maid is suspected to be based on an old classmate, perhaps a first love or
childhood friend. So it appears that isn't related.

Personally, I wouldn't imagine his fear of women would be a factor in his
hairstyle choice, There are many other characters in anime that have a fear of
the opposite gender, but there's no obvious trend for those characters to have
hair of the opposite gender's style.

Overall, I think his hair is long for no other reason than the original
mangaka's design decision.

Akasaka Ryuunosuke's hair might be very long because since he's a hikkikomori;
he rarely goes out, so he wouldn't go to a hairstylist or something like that
for a pretty long time, but might still go occasionally to keep it neat. His
bangs are longer than most people would keep their bangs, so that also sort of
proves my point.

I watched the anime, and I think the mangaka designed him this way to make him
look really mysterious. He's always a sort of shadowy character with a
mysterious past, and he's also the only character which we don't know anything
about his family, which makes him more mysterious, unless you count the two
new characters in the last episode - Hase Kanna and Himemiya Iori.

They probably just like having long hair. I mean... I'm a guy too and my hair
is almost as long as his. I don't have long hair because of any fancy reason,
I have it because I just like having long hair.
