The Gyaru tag is wrong.

The character Mishima is obviously inspired in whatshername from "The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All" series. Y'know, the record store girl who likes rock and looks like a guy.

But that's totally 100% not a gyaru.

Mishima's casual look can be called rocker style, grunge style, ghetto style, soft butch style, oh, lotta things—but she's nothing like a gyaru.

Could be referring to the POV character instead (I skimmed the first four chapters and couldn't find her name, lol)

But I don't know how exactly the mods decide that you've earn your gyaru merit badge anyhow, so I'll leave it to someone else to figure out.

Maybe they are just similar. I don't know which story came out earlier and if the authors even read them

Taking Wikipedia for its' wisdom,it can easily be said that she is a gal who is using fashion that isn't the norm of a prim and proper housewife.

It's absolute stretch to say she isn't one at all.

Taking Google for its' wisdom, or any Gyaru fashion magazine ever published, it can easily be seen that gyaru are about hyperfeminine looks and roles.
It should be easy to understand if you look at "The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All" as an example. Aya is a gyaru. Her circle of friends at school are gyaru. Mitsuki? Polar opposite of a gyaru, both as a school nerd and as a hunky 'oniisan'.

Cute.

I'd argue that she presents somewhat gyaru at school, but I don't think it warrants the tag. I think of tags' purposes either as warning folks away who don't want that type of content - likely not the purpose of this tag - or of letting folks find things they might be interested in - and I think someone looking specifically for gyarus would be disappointed in that regard for this.

the purpose of the tags on this site in this regard is to call all those who hate the tag into the comment section to tell how bad it is and how bad everyone is for reading.

Very cute, like the art style too. I just want the protag to drink some coffee so she can open her eyes xD

I remember when the Punk Rock Girl was a staple of yuri. We're currently in a Punk Rock Girl renaissance and I'm here for it.

That's so cynical and pessimistic.

You're absolutely right. :/
