How do anime writers keep getting away with making male leads who can't look a grown woman in the eye, yet act completely comfortable around little girls? What backstory even explains this?
Community note
The character shown is the Former Emperor from The Apothecary Diaries, a minor backstory figure (not a male lead) whose fear of adult women is explained in the series as resulting from childhood trauma and abuse.
