Why is Ryuunosuke Akasaka's hair so long? 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).
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.
