Two studios and thats just one example.
The term "loli" refers to a character archetype that typically depicts young or young-looking female characters with petite, childlike physical features. These features often include a small stature, slim build, and youthful facial characteristics, regardless of the character's actual age. The term does originate from Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita, which has contributed to its controversial connotations, particularly when such characters are sexualized or presented in ways that emphasize their appearance in a mature context. In anime culture, "loli" is often used to describe a specific aesthetic or body type rather than strictly an age-based category, but its usage can spark debate due to ethical concerns about the portrayal of youthful-looking characters. My reason for the initial tag was because that's as close as this gets unless there's a another petite tag I don't know about available. My reason for saying an age is also because they look realistic rather than a cartoon.
