"But that's exactly it, read the light novel to find out!" (Page 6)
That's one shameless way to get someone to read your novel.
Still ain't gonna read it though.

It's always the girls with extensive knowledge of vegetables and healthy diets that you gotta watch out for. They might add something like rohypnol to your food and say it's good for you.
You don't understand bro, they just wanna make sure you are getting enough sleep.

For everyone wanting more of this, the artist just released a new series.
The girl in it is basically the same as this one.

Here's a link https://mangadex.org/title/46708527-d28a-4833-bd8b-e3ee553a20ee/mitame-jirai-kei-osananajimi
Both girls are indeed cut from the same cloth, as they are both landmine girls drawn by tetto.

But to prevent misunderstandings I'd like to point out that they are two different characters (different eye and hair colors too). The girl here is named Amane Raihara [雷原 甘音] (this is an ad for a novel written by Kaname Aizuki and illustrated by tetto), while that girl in the manga you linked is named Hinami Hinamizawa [雛見沢 ヒナミ] (she is tetto's own original character and Kaname Aizuki is not involved).

Thanks, I really should put more effort into informing people. But I was very tired that day.

I mean, at least she cares about her health instead of like 'sneaking her blood/fluids into his bento' or so XD

Wait what, was this really just one of those pre-serialization web comics? Also, I expected her to be different from the typical landmine girl, but I didn't really see anything different. She's just a bit more knowledgeable about vegetables and nutrition.


It's both a stereotype and a subset of cutesy fashion known as Jirai-kei in Japan. Kinda like how gyaru is both a stereotype and a fashion subculture. This girl here embodies the "red flags" typical of a landmine girl, and her fashion style is textbook Jirai-kei.
I get finding the aesthetic appealing since it's a bit toned down and probably not as 'stuffy' as lolita dresses (seems impossible to wear during the summer but i'm in the south) but idk if ppl who self identify as 'menhera' would just also match it the same way 'bright mushrooms/plants are poisonous' but it would be an interesting horror/comedy twist where wearing that specific style made you mentally unstable

As you say, it's quite an appealing aesthetic. But that's part of why I believe the jirai-kei landmine girl stereotype works the way it does: people who could be considered menhera (not necessarily limited to just those who self-identify) wouldn't want to drive people away from them, since they're stereotypically supposed to be needy and clingy, but mentally unstable types (like that girl from Needy Streamer Overload).

So it makes sense that they'd gravitate to this style more than others, since it's supposed to mask the red flags by projecting an image of cute and sweet, girly innocence with just a hint of dark undertones. At least more than say, gothic punk, which just screams "Do I look friendly to you? Go away." with it's overly dark and unwelcoming aesthetic. So it's less a case of: "Stay away, I'm unfriendly and toxic." like poisonous plants but more like "Come closer, I'm sweet and I don't bite."

I mean, they wouldn't be called landmine girls in the first place if everyone immediately knew they were trouble. People who get blown up by landmines do so, because they didn't know the landmine was there and stepped where they shouldn't have... Or at least that was how it was at first, until the stereotype formed around the fashion, and now the style is (unfairly) treated like a red flag in itself with how the guy and his coworker treats the girl here.

Good ol' Flunitrazepam,a great way to wake up on the roof of a casino and accidentally leave your friend to dry up.
