Recently, the gacha video game Atelier Resleriana held a new event that sought to focus on April Fool’s Day, but fans were surprised when they found that Reisalin “Ryza” Stout, one of the most popular girls in the franchise was characterized with a different skin color than what is known. The video parodied the student life, being that the girl was characterized as a Gal or Gyaru, with a much more tanned skin color.
Ryza transforms into a Gal in new Atelier Resleriana event and generates controversy
Through its various social networks, the video game Atelier Resleriana celebrated a few days ago a new event that focused on April Fool’s Day, parodying in this case the student life by presenting several of its “waifus” as the classic stereotypes found in this type of institutions. But fans were shocked to find that Ryza, one of the most popular girls in the franchise, had received a more than obvious change in her skin color.
As can be seen in the official video shared by Atelier Resleriana on YouTube, the young Ryza really changed her skin tone, in this case for a much more tanned one, very different from her white complexion with which she is recognized in the different installments of the saga. But this was not a random change, since she in this case is playing the role of a Gal or Gyaru, a very popular fashion style in Japan where women take great care of their aesthetics, such as nails, clothes, makeup or in this case, tanning.
And although this video was made, as we mentioned, to parody high school life, many fans of Atelier Resleriana were disappointed with the change in the skin of the young woman, being that they took it as something offensive, even knowing the concept of gal, so well known in Japan. Although a large majority were also excited about the event, since being able to see the girls with different stereotypes is something at least curious, since in addition to Ryza, several of the other characters are characterized.
Below is one of the official images where you can see all the “waifus” representing various high school girls:
