The two gyaru had already spotted them and dashed over. They each picked a girl and started mussing up her hair while shouting, “#Brains, brains, brains!”

Ginka and Ruka both reacted instantly. Ruka said, “Hey, stop! I spent an hour on that!” While Ginka took a battle stance. Then she looked at Ruka and asked, “Are they infected?”

The three gyaru started laughing at Ginka’s serious tone. It was such a Ginka thing to say.

The two girls responded, "Infected? Like, really!" and "Yep. Zombies! got us. We've come to eat your brains."

Ruka explained, “They must have just come from the theater. ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ is playing. It's totally gross! And you two quit it; you're bothering people.”

“So, what are you two doing here?” Meiri asked. “On a date?”

“Must be, or she would have invited us,” Hinaru replied.

“I’m teaching Ginka-chan the meaning of Christmas, if you must know,” Ruka said, avoiding the question. It had made her feel embarrassed yet also kind of warm. If she were going to date a girl, Ginka-chan would be her pick. She was stunning and so cool and…and…yeah, like that.

“The meaning of Christmas? Presents!” Hinaru said.

“KFedC,” Meiru argued.

“No, and no. Just follow me—Ginka-chan, those are both important things, but they aren’t the heart and soul of Christmas.”

Ginka nodded. With the other girls there, she didn’t want to say anything that would embarrass her—or worse, Ruka.

Ruka swiftly led the others through the crowd. She regretfully let go of Ginka’s hand. With her friends around, it would be too embarrassing, and they would only tease her more about "dating" Ginka.

She led them past the bookstore, the grocery store, the mall lottery stand, and even the big Christmas tree. She stopped in front of a bakery.

“Cake!” she announced, pointing. “Christmas cake—that's the soul of Christmas!”

“Aren’t they dangerous?” Ruka asked. The question slipped out automatically.

“Dangerous? What cha mean?”

“Never mind. They’re cute.” Ruka had learned that any noise could alert a vampire or its spawn. With their preternatural hearing, there was no way they wouldn’t hear those bells. But it was a silly question. The vampires were all dead.

“Aw, you don’t sound like you mean it. I wore them just for you.”

“No, really, they’re cute, and so is the sweater.” Ginka’s delivery was still flat, which disappointed Ruka, but she accepted it. Ginka-chan was Ginka-chan, and you couldn’t expect exuberance from her.

“It’s not the kind of thing you usually wear,” Ginka added, nodding at the sweater with its panda mascot.

“Christmas is next week!” Ruka twirled. “Got ta celebrate!”

“I didn’t know you were a Christian.”

“I’m not, and neither are most of these people.” Ruka gestured to the crowd. “That’s not what it’s about. Come on, I’ll show you.”

She grabbed Ginka’s hand and led the way into the mall.

As they entered, Ginka’s eyes swiveled, taking it all in: the smiling people, harried ones, fake holly, busy holiday music, and an enormous tree adorned with tinsel and bright ornaments.

Her gaze moved to Ruka, and finally, a smile flickered on her lips. This was the girl who had introduced it all to her: clothes, makeup, school, friends, and karaoke—all things that Ginka had fought to preserve but had never experienced.

“Hey, look, it’s Hinaru & Meiri.” Ruka said, waving.

Ginka-chan went on high alert as soon as she got off at the mall station. “So many people,” she thought. She relaxed, though, when she spotted Ruka-chan in the crowd, waving at her.

The first thing Ginka noticed about her gyaru friend was her knee-high boots with two-inch cavalier heels. “How could she run in those?” Ginka muttered. Of course, Ruka wouldn’t need to run. There weren't any vampires lurking in the crowd, so she was safe.

That settled, Ginka took in the rest of Ruka’s outfit: a red sweater with a mascot on the front, a green dress, and candy-striped socks peeking out above her boots. The outfit sounded odd, but Ruka pulled it off with flair.

Still aware of the people around them, Ginka joined her friend. “So, what’s the plan?” she asked.

“Do you like them?” Ruka said, ignoring the question. Instead, she shook her head, causing the little bells hanging from her earrings to make a bright, tinkling sound.

#Review: This Gyaru’s Got a Thing for...Vampire Hunters?! Vol. 2 (#GyuVam)

#LightNovel by #WasanKurata
English Pub: #JNovelClub
Rating (1-9): (8 Worth following)
#CGDCT #UrbanFantasy

There are many reasons why I shouldn't give this a high rating, but the truth is that I was glued to both volumes by the second chapter. Reviews are subjective, and this one is based on my reaction.

At its heart, GyaVam is a CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Things). Yes, there are battles and supernatural events, but readers looking for those elements will be disappointed. This volume is about Ruka (gyaru) taking Ginku (vampire-hunter) shopping for swimsuits, and then Ruka and her friends going to the beach. Ruka uses the power of Gyaru and Friendship to convince the antagonists to change their ways.

One of this book's charms is that I haven't read many light novels like it. And I read a lot of female protag light novels. Even if there were, I would find the writing reasonable and charming.

Is it yuri? It's about the relationship between women, which is romance-adjacent. The yuri subtext is strong, but it seems unlikely that it will drift into full-scale romance territory. Either that, or we're on the track of a very slow-burn yuri.

In summary, it's a pleasant, light read for escapism. If you like slice-of-life or CGDCT, it's worth reading the first three chapters, at least. Don't give up at first. It takes a while for the charm to win you over. At least it did for me.

Volume 2 is free to read for members of J-Novel Club until 12/15/25.
Digital release: 11/20/25

Ginka Shijunana does Karaoke

#Wss366 10/09 #JMusicFriday
#Fandom #ThisGyarusGotAThingforVampireHunters?! #GyaVam

Ruku-chan #belted out the lyrics to a popular anime tune. Her blonde hair and hoop earrings danced along with her. Hina and Mei gave her a ten for effort, a seven for her choice of song, and a three for her delivery. Actually, make that a four, including a bonus for volume.

Ginka-chan stared open-mouthed. This was the most frivolous thing she had done in years. She hadn’t had time in her former life as a vampire hunter to watch anime, let alone learn a song from a show. She didn’t even know the title of one. But now, she was going to live the life of a high school girl. If that meant karaoke with friends, she was game.

“Your turn,” Ruka said, thrusting the microphone in her face.

Ginka had selected a song she had learned during training. She thought it was the best fit for what she was hearing. It had a fast, upbeat rhythm and wasn’t associated with fighting. She would have preferred “同期の桜” (Dōki no Sakura). She’d sometimes sung that over a campfire while hunting vampires in the mountains. However, it didn’t fit the setting, and she didn’t want to stand out that much.

As the intro to her song started, the other girls looked at each other with slightly open mouths.

Following her friend Ruka’s lead, Ginka let loose with the lyrics to “Ultra Soul.”

Mei whispered to Hina, “So old. Who’d sings this one?”

Hina answered, “Are we at Grandma’s gym?”

Ruku silently noted, “Got to teach that girl something cooler.”
