Still the same as usual, the girl in OP pic is Kuua Oyasumi tho who's style is gurokawa (creepy cute) usually with menhera theme (mental unstable girls heavy into self-harm and sex), pic related.

Tbh, there are own fairy kei hair salons these days (like Candye Syrup) and I doubt they would exist if it wasn't popular.

>menhera theme

I've read a little bit about this but I don't really know where to go for further information. Are there popular manga with this theme? Brands or artists who produce work in this vein? Is it becoming a substyle of creepy-cute, or is it just being worn by a few girls? I think it's really interesting in a very specific way, although I can't say I'd be into wearing it myself. Any links or info would be appreciated though, anon.

I think fairy kei is becoming less worn in the west unless you count those tumblr demiboy transboy or whatever fairies like mahouprince, pheonix etc. Nothing wrong with being into fairy kei and being as boy but there really was a sudden boom on transguys wearing it.

[Anonymous No.8651585]

>>8651543
That's because menhera is a theme and not an own fashion, the term (メンヘラ) came from 2ch's mental health board and refers to the "yandere" girls there that fall into a self-harming mental illness (cutting, drugs, eating disorders, hypersexuality) when not noticed by senpai which is why you get quite a lot of...ermn...self-harm photos at Google's image search besides art.

Popular brands would be:

https://mi-te-yo.booth.pm/

Well, that specific shop is of the Menhera-chan manga series (also sold in that store) which is a magical girl parody in which the girls need to kill themself in order to be abel to use their magic. It is very critical of Japan's society as all girls had to die first before becoming a magical girl and their deads were sparked by bullying (pink haired one aka Menhera got stomped to dead by bullies in the first chapter due to "evil magic aka the preasure of society) and the reason why menhera got popular starting from 2014.

If a group on here wanted to get together to do it, I wouldn't mind pitching in on translations. I wouldn't be able to do nice typesetting and everything by myself, though, and without scans of the physical volume that was released, we'd probably have to stop after chapter 5 since 6 was only printed there.

I didn't mean actual hardcore guro, just guro that was less about fetishizing self harm and suicide, which is basically what menhera is. Not that I mind it (when it's not too ero) but I'd like a bit more variety.
The more ero stuff hasn't been posted so much in this thread so I understand if you didn't get what I meant. Maybe I should have said fetishy instead, because menhera stuff is very fetishy. A lot of the menhera clothing prints are full of ahegaos, very nymphet-y clothing poses, and BDSM clothing. Pic related literally has cum all over her mouth. Ropes, harnesses and ball gags are pretty BDSM and fetishy looking whether you think they "count" or not.

The less ero art is pretty cute but I wouldn't want to be seen in public wearing a shirt that has a tied up ball-gagged blushing loli with her shirt pulled up like in >>8651339

You forgot the part where the loli is holding a cutter and scissor for self-harm purposes. Kuua Oyasumi did some guro shirt prints like pic related but they wouldn't fit in this thread anymore as they go into the direction of menhera themed pastel goth which she also wears a lot.

Also there is hardly any ahegao, so far it was only at the tigh highs of the girls that are hung.

[Anonymous No.8660267]

>>8660263
Just call it whatever the fuck you want. I mean, both menhera and creepy cute are rather themes than own styles. There is creepy cute and menhera outfits that are fairy kei, lolita, pastel goth, decora, etc as both only depends on the choice of accessories and prints.

[Anonymous No.8660270]

[Anonymous No.8660273]

>>8660264
The idea of menhera is heavily based in BDSM and self harm as a fetish. Kuua Oyasumi promotes her stuff at Fetifes and the entire concept of "menhera" is a yandere girl who likes kinky sex and hurting herself. It's fine to like it of course, I just don't personally enjoy fetish-type themes. I'm not saying it's porn on a T-shirt, but there's no point into denying the sexual element it has to it.

[Anonymous No.8660283]

>>8660273
I know what menhera is as I am the one who first posted about in on /cgl/ so you don't need to explain it to me, just saying. I found out about it last year by accident due to the japanese artists I follow on Tumblr.

[Anonymous No.8660289]

>>8660283
Then why did you respond to my first post? All I'm saying is I'm not into the fetishy elements of it.

[Anonymous No.8660297]

>>8660289
Because in general it isn't as much fetish themed as it is with self-harm.

Fairy kei makeup is very generic. There are no big things (like how red lipstick is popular in larme kei rn, or with gyaru circle lenses). Just go natural, pastels, and don't follow tumblr's trend of sticking stars all over your face.

So I want to start wearing fairy kei, and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me where I can find some cute pastel clothes. Specifically, I'm looking for cute skirts that aren't super short miniskirts that barely cover your butt (which is most of what I've found on Taobao). Knee length or a little shorter would be fine. Shorts would also be good. I just don't want to be in danger of flashing everyone any time the wind slightly blows.

Also, fairy kei these days is mostly shops that sell the handmade goods of various artists for a limited time instead of making own products, that's what both Tenten and Candye Syrup do. There are lots of overpriced Taobao resell shops like Qun.to (http://qun-to.shop-pro.jp/)) too but they are still cheaper than brand so people flock to them like seagulls to fresh bread.

I'm only 5'4, but I'm finding a lot of very tiny miniskirts. I'd rather have a skirt that covers me well. Those pumpkin pants in your pic really are cute; I'd really love something like that too. For now I bought a plain pastel pink skirt, which should work fine, I think. But I really want some more interesting things.

I probably should get some short bloomers just in case, though. Mine are pretty long, for old school lolita peeking bloomers.

I'm very excited to start wearing fairy kei, honestly.

i need more pastel pants/leggings suitable for winter. i don't like tights+skirt combo since i go for more of a boystyle look, but it's surprisingly hard to find ones that have that soft fairy kei aesthetic (and aren't super transparent when it comes to leggings). anyone have some basic suggestions?

It's owner said in 2011:
"At first the fashion was called Spank! girls. Then just three months later fairy-kei was born. Some magazines said the pioneer of fairy-kei was Spank! but I don’t think so. For me Spank! girls and fairy-kei was very different. Fairy-kei includes a lot of different tastes. I think Zipper magazine coined “fairy-kei” and then a month later Cutie used the term and it spread from there."

So it was pretty much magazines inventing the term as originally it did look like fairies (pic related from mid 00's) but it evolved far beyond that.

I speak Japanese, but thanks for the concern. When has Chloma's designer used the term uchuu-kei to describe his work? He cites technology and net culture as his inspiration, not outer space.

Even calling something "kei" doesn't automatically turn it into an established style, it's a simple descriptive suffix used everywhere in Japanese. Pic related, a search for "uchuu-kei" fashion. Basic galaxy print from 2012, how cutting-edge.

[Anonymous No.8734208]

I think bright pink can work well with pastels when coordinated tight. Spank! also uses some neons or brighter colors in their fashion on occasion, same with a lot of girls who do a sort of 6%dokidoki inspired look. Depending on the colors you're already using and what you're working with I don't see why not. An all pastel outfit with bright pink shoes might be off putting though.

I've been looking into Yumekawaii and it is a term that is appearing more often. It's not a distinct fashion though. I searched on different sites and normally pastel filters and cute anime girls pop up. It seems to have a "Meruhen/Fairy Tale" theme as opposed to retro 80s pastels. WEGO used the term for some of their products and likewise to Larme, the cut and the design of things triumphed over patterns and sparkles. There's a lot of baggy clothing as well. It does also cross over into Menhera, as people are tagging their outfits using both terms. I prefer it to Fairy Kei as it's a lot more modern and wearable in my eyes. But their isn't a reputable source like the Larme magazine for it to catch on in the West, lol.
