<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/KSiTHm.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>

<p>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.</p>

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

<p>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?</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Also! Ryuunosuke has gynophobia (he's <em>so</em> afraid of females). This might also be the reason (in a way).</p>

I assume the person in the picture I put in is Ryunosuke Akasaka, because this is the person who came up on all of the google searches. I've never seen the show, so I'm not sure.
