this is only missing shun noticing chokki's reactions and teasing her about them afterwards alone. with maybe the right amount of unsure deniability about his meaning. still time for it in future chapters

I wonder what year it was when this happened? Gyaru characters started off being more of a "Mean Girls" type trope, as bullies. But now they seem almost universally nice and helpful in depictions.

Is it because the culture itself changed? Or did the old idea simply become too tired? Is it a transformation or projection of moe culture?

I don't have the answers, but maybe a Gyaru Research Club would.
I think Oshiete! Gyaruko-chan was the turning point.

Hmm, so presumably somewhere between 2014 and 2016...I feel like I hadn't really seen the pro-gyaru stuff everywhere until a few years after that, but I wasn't exactly looking for it.

There are still cases of mean gyaru characters around anyway; I think the last one I ran into was in Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki-kun. And kind of arguably some characters in Nagatoro, but that's a pretty different dynamic.

Seeing a slightly jealous Chokki brightens my day. Thankfully we don’t get a rival heroine like other trash manga (looking at you Medaka Kuroikawa). Thanks for the translation as always

I'mma say the same thing everyone else is, I'm glad Yura isn't a "rival" or something stupid, nothing but wholesomeness and romance allowed in the Hyper-Go-Home Club!
