My guy, open the romance tag and find any manga about gyaru, 90% of the time she will be confirmed a virgin. This alone disproves all your pandering here.
I don't know how any number of subversions disprove the point. Yeah, they have to confirm that Gyarus are virgins... because the stereotype is they're not. People copy each other all the time. We both know that once a trend takes root in anime, manga, and LN's, you get a million manga doing the exact same thing. The underlying reality doesn't change.

We used to have villains who had cartoonishly evil goals, like global destruction, or hoarding money. Now we have morally gray villains who have other, more complicated motives, for better or for worse. But no matter what, this guy is still seen as the villain automatically:
iu

And no amount of "Well ackshually, he's the good guy in my story" will change the assumption for anyone who isn't genre savvy. Like, think about it, brother. What's going to be more popular: Stories about dirty, loud, obnoxious whores, or stories about sexually aggressive girls who are only into one guy? Hell, the former is a turn off in porn. Obviously any stories about them will largely involve them being layered.

We do this all the time with every archetype ever. The tsundere in real life is just a bitch. The archetype thrives off the fact that, unlike in real life, she actually has a soft side that she shows you over time. Because who the fuck actually wants to watch a story about a woman who treats a guy like shit all day, every day, no matter what he says or does?
It's false; there are many timid and closed-off heroines or narcissistic bitches who are foreigners or specificly american.
Congratulations, media isn't composed exclusively of stereotypes, and we come to see the depths of their characters as time progresses. What's your point? This author isn't reinventing the wheel. He wrote a stereotypical whore.
The stuff that you presented didn't prove anything; it just claims that someone adds promiscuity as part of gyaru stereotypes,
Yes. It's one of the many stereotypes. And authors rely on this impression to play with the readers' expectations by making characters that deviate from their preconceived notions. It's the first thing you do when you want to write something original. If you don't change it up, you're an unoriginal hack.

Or you're making porn. Like here.
READ STUFF THAT YOU ATTACH
This describe history of gyaru and public perception from 1980 - 2003. At the end, they actually present how this stereotype is viewed nowadays.
I'm confused, so you understand the stereotype, but then double down on "FASHION SUBCULTURE" as if the word was actually slang for "Prostitute" before or something. It was always a subculture, with many different variations. The stereotype associated with them was, among others, promiscuity.

"stereotype is stereotype but not always stereotype but it is stereotype"

"girl obsessed with fashion are prostitute"

PS: Stereotype reality character trope

Author: Start with stereotype->Adjust as needed.

Was not needed here.

"girl obsessed with fashion are prostitute"
Yeah, that seems to be the level you're working at. Either they're prostitutes, or they're obsessed with fashion. When the reality is that the girls in this subculture are stereotyped as sluts.

Abe smiles from the afterlife. This teen couple is starting the fight to increase Japan's falling birthrate early, one baby at a time.

Pregnancy, and teenage pregnancy at that, seems such a rare situation in male-oriented romcom manga, so I'd prefer if there's no "It's just a prank, bro!" cop-out next chapter, thanks. This is actually interesting (OFC not in real life, this is fiction) and I want to see how they handle this. Would the school allow her to keep coming to class as her belly gets bigger? Also, she better stop treating him like air anymore, or she might find herself actually having air for a baby daddy... don't play stupid games so you don't win stupid prizes.

This situation is so rare to me in this type of manga that it reminds me of exactly just one other web manga that also had a teenage pregnancy happen.

Surprised (in a good way) to see such overwhelmingly positive comments. Reaffirms what's left of my faith in humanity 🥲

Aino isn't presented as a heartlessly exploitative gold-digger anyway. It's been clear for quite a while that she's strongly and specifically drawn to Aizawa. A moment after saying she chose him for his family situation and career prospects, she adds, "frankly, I quite like you." He, in return, admits that he was deliberately trying to get her pregnant.

It may not be true love, and they've definitely got each other acting unwise, but at least Aino is being honest about her motives and feelings. More than you can say for most romcom protagonists...
