Well it's Trails.
It's the series where a recurring female antagonist sexually assaults other women for a laugh.
There's a character (Millium) who is in the body of a 12 year old. who has a romance subplot with a classmate (Jusis) who is about 21.
Also an artificial human also born with accelerated ageing to get her that old so mentally younger. But Trails does that thing where there's a bunch of child characters that act like adults.
One of the reasons that Trails is popular is that it has a continuous storyline over 10 games.
Where the story spans about 5 years. With the sub series having different protagonists and parties, but with other characters being part of the story.
In the Sky Trilogy there's a 12 year old girl (Tita) that has a crush on a character that rescues her 24 years old (Agate)
It's played for laughs to embarass him in the beginning. But by the time you get to Hajimari the other characters think their relationship is cute.
But of course with both of these, they try and sit on the line. Where a fan can say "no they're just good friends"
Personally I played the Trails in the Sky trilogy a long time ago and really enjoyed it. So last summer I played through all of the others. In a kind of "I want to know what happens next" kind of mindset.
I don't think there's another series that has done this level of continuity over about 15 years worth of game.
But after I started playing Hajimari, I had to check out. The series just keeps getting worse in some way.
Aha another thing. The main character of Cold Steel (Rean) becomes a teacher. And like in the first couple of games where all the girls are attracted to him, same with his students.
It means that if you use your free time in the game to hang out with them it's just gonna revolve around how they're attracted to Rean.
Whilst the male characters have an arc to their stories because they can have a life. Whilst the girls have to keep the possibility of a relationship open with Rean.
In Cold Steel IV near the end of the game and before the final dungeon, you spend the day at a theme park.
So you can hang out with your classmates and students. For the girls if you hung out with them during the game to see all the cutscenes for their stories.
They'll say something on the lines of "Hey Rean, I'm like in love with you, if you wanna meet up after this just give me a call, but I'll understand if you're busy"
It's just wow. Characterisation in the dustbin.
So of course there's another 12 year old body child character (Altina). She's in Rean's class and it's possible to romance her. Of course, it's all "we'll wait till you're older". But seriously why is this in the game =|
Also if you think that screenshot outfit is bad:

Have a look at the CS2 picture here. =/
Ah that reminds me. There's a character (Renne) in the original Sky trilogy who is 11 years old.
Her backstory is that when she was even younger she was kidnapped by a cult, who loaned her to a brothel.
So this in the 3rd game in the series in 2007. Personally I thought it was a bit much only for the series to get more cartoonish.
Fast forward to 2020 and their latest game Hajimari no Kiseki and she's 15 so there's a pinup style picture of her sitting on the floor as a pre-order bonus:

So yeah, par for the course when it comes to Trails really.
