WARNING: This page discusses issues of mental health, which, although not graphic, may be triggering for some readers. Please read with caution.
Yami Kawaii is a sickly cute fashion that was derived from Yume Kawaii with a strong emphasis on sickness motifs. It is part of Anti-Kawaii which adds opposing elements to typical kawaii style in order to leave a greater impact. As the word yami means both "sick" and "dark", it revolves around not only medical but also dark themes related to mental health.
It is often confused with the Gurokawa trend, which revolves around horror and gore, but Yami Kawaii has a more girly spin to it with lots of anime-style illustrations, and is not bloody or gory.
