I wonder if them being gyaru from the start helps with the vibes. Gyaru are naturally often portrayed as more emotionally available and less restrained, so there isn't a lot of need for the standard super shy and distant awkward tropes where people are afraid of relationships and the people they like. It allow for a much more open and honest and balanced relationship when both are like that too, instead of just one partner chasing as a gyaru and the other not and constantly putting up walls like many romantic characters in manga do.

Ah, Japanese and their "literally nothing else but holding a pen during exam period" fetish like fooling around for an hour is not better for stress build up.
Korea and China has that fetish too afaik, though I understand that China is slowly losing it due to the fact it is no longer enough to even get a job, much less a well-paying one, nowadays.

At least how they are presented here they have way less societal clutter in in their daily lives as gyaru. They get more of a pass on norms and don't acknowledge existing stigmas. Even their guidance counselor had a kind of "whelp, that's gyaru for you" and not exactly in a negative way either when they have unconventional goals. It's all heightened by fiction, but that is the allure of being part of a subculture in an otherwise strict society.
