wait I’m confused is she black - or is she like a crazy tanner and black fishes

Black fishing

But they’re are dark skinned asians

kuro-gyaru it says on google. Meaning a dark tan + gyaru fashion. For them it is a fashion statement to look prettier, not to appear as having black heritage (ie black fishing).

I get that ... but sometimes it gets out of hand and becomes blackfishing ... so that’s why I said what I said

Their are dark skinned Asians ... but not to the point where they look black lol - ig this is another one of those stories where they give them black features and skin but just pull it off as a dark skinned Asian

bro we are literally at the promo chapter. Raws are at ch1. Calm yo ass down. Nothing happened yet. The 101 things that could go wrong circiling in your thoughts is going to stunt your ability to enjoy the manga. Worry about it when it actually happens in situations like this.

girl first off shut the fuck up.. there’s no reason ME A BLACK WOMAN should be the same color as someone who TANNED be darker ... gtfo off my dick with the attitude I said it because I’m tired of not getting any representation and as I said beFORE they give the character all black features and refuse to call them black - it’s blatantly anti black- I never said I wouldn’t read I never said I didn’t care when it happens irl... thank you

bestie have u seen an asiatic person irl? ever? because they can be that dark

girl where have you seen a Asian person who looks black and had that dark of a color- I’ve never met ANY Asian person the same color as me and that’s me on the middle edge of brown skin- don’t even start it girl ...

Plus she is not even asiatic what are you talking about ☠☠☠

first off, a gyaru is generally japanese, which our mc is. asiatic=japanese. second, anywhere in asia ull find people that dark, be it japan, china, taiwan, india etc. i can guarantee it

I keep telling you they can be dark but they WONT look black- they have crossed the boundaries

bestie im literally related to an asiatic person who is so dark you could confuse them for being black, they can. (also, the shading in the manga doesnt show shes totally dark, she can just be tan. wait for the raws)

yall if a black person is uncomfortable with it pls respect it, simple. sorry you're getting so much hate @Jordy. I think gyaru's can tan but if you can't tell if their black or just really tan then yea its black fishing no matter the intention. and for ppl who said there are naturally dark skinned asians, yea we know lol, theirs a difference being naturally like that and tanning to be so dark that you can't tell if their black, blasian or black fishing.

also this is coming from an asian person herself

Thank you so much - idk why people are getting angry with me I legit asked a genuine question because it happens in anime and manga SO much - thank you so much again for respecting my comfort zone even tho it’s the bare minimum ^^

np you're valid dude, keep your head up

Bruhh if your gonna start that shit then u might as well start using the right terms, most EAST ASIAN city ppl are light skin, go up the the farmers even in east asia then they're skin gets considerably darker. Alot of central asian and South east asian ppl are of the darker skin colour, except city folk ofcourse because of the tons if whitenening products available to them and forced down theyre throats. But if u leave the city and go to the rest of the country that tourists dont usually see then youll start seeing the colourism thats in Asia. Now as for black problems in America, u just can't apply the same context to the rest of the world sorry. If your looking for black representation within anime and manga, Japan despite only 1% of the country being foreigners, and even less of that 1% would be black people, have massive respect for black culture and have arguably good representation of them if you know where to look. And while sometimes they are just straight up culturally appropriating, that applies to more modern artists and subcultures. This is a subculture from the late 90's and early 2000's where information and things like culture arent as easily accessible or as easily translated, and even then the way these girls tan if your calling this black then your one hell of a lightskinned black girl because in terms of skin colour just from the cover photo as a Filipina woman, i am considerably darker than her.

But, on that note I also understand the frustration towards the lack of representation and i do hope as the future progresses that that will change, i also do agree that tanning under tanning beds until your basically a different race makes no sense and your opinions and frustrations towards that is understandable, i just disagree with the fact the colourism doesnt exist in Asia, and even if you only mean east asia because it really isn't true. I hope this story ends up being good and i hope we all enjoy it!!

LMAO get off your high horse. You think everything bends to your rule just cus you have the same skin tone? Can you live in reality for ONE second. I gave you little to no attitude until now, you anxious child.

Im black as well and im fuqin light skinned. There are albino black people, too. Your argument makes NO DAMN SENSE. Should I start gatekeeping characters cus the author just happened to color their skin the same as mine? Do you understand how ENTITLED you sound?

Why do you need representation? Cant you ne validated by your own existence rather than relying on someone else to create characters for you? Why dont you turn to Marvel/DC comics. Why don't you turn to Netflix with your bullshit. "I wanna see myself" no you just want validation for who you are and you do not need that from people who probably live in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SOCIETY with COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CULTURAL NORMS than your esteemed self.

It is literally THREE pages. How is it anti-black, bitch? It's a REAL THING CALLED KURO GYARU. And did you forget that there are people who are asian and are also black? naturally tan/dark skin? And you realise the sitgmatism they grow up with so a MC with dark skin is a breath of fresh air??

If you did some research, you would find that East Asian societies prefer lighter skinned than darker. The fact that the author even considered making a dark skinned character speaks volumes to your incoherent bullshit.


I also did not say yoy wouldnt read it and I didn't say you wouldn't care. I said— nothing happened yet so perhaps wait until you make outrageous claims.

Kindly fuck off. Thank you.
