tag motoyan
Tag description A japanese term for a reformed delinquent. Sometimes a younger female, more often an older woman who has 'retired' from their former life involved with yankee or gang-member activity.
note it's a specific kind of 'mature' brat-taming that's getting popular. Annoying to find because titles mix kana or kanji. English often uses synonyms e.g. 'yankee'. This would capture one fav title with no keyword from kurosu gatari: Furyou Mama no Yudan!
