Literally who gives a single shit?
Anyway, this is a redundant question but Im sure the real reason is that the author just likes it on her design.

There is no valid scientific justification for the concept of human race.

Why not? Behavior put apart, Hayase Nagatoro is pretty.

She's just tanned. In the manga or whenever she will put on her swim suit, you see tan lines. Other than that, that's how the mangaka wanted her to look like

She is tanned, and in the manga, she looked really good with that gray skin tone (because obviously the manga is black and white), and in the anime she looks much more beautiful.

She's tan. I've only read the manga, so I don't know anything about the anime. However, I can say for certain that she's really tan most likely from swimming. There's a panel in the manga where she's in the bath. It's shown that she has a swimmer tan with parts of her skin being the standard shade.

It's completely reasonable. A couple of my swimmer friends (they're East Asian) always get extremely tan during the summer as they switch from indoor pools to outdoor pools. Judging from the poster for the show, I can say that yeah, it's pretty accurate description of a tan Asian girl.

The most unrealistic thing is the fact that her hair is still completely black since the chlorine and the sun should have slightly bleached some parts of her hair. Tho, It might be a thing for dudes since I only see chlorine bleached hair from them.

Nice try nationalist zoomer :) You think Nagatoro being white is some kind of big deal, but neither that nor the fact that she has dark skin is.

If you would like a REAL answer that is not completely retarded or trolling, Nagatoro is a "gyaru".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyaru

Specifically, she is THIS kind:

Ganguro (ガングロ): a gyaru with an artificial deep tan and bleached hair, and makeup which tended to use white around the eyes and on the lips, and darker shades on the eyes. Also, decorations such as glitter or flowers, such as hibiscus flower stickers added under the eyes. This style was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s.


Probably. She just doesn't bleach her hair.

She could also possibly be a manba which is in the same article.

Other Gyaru characters like Nagatoro in anime:

To be honest I couldn't care less whatever the origins is of a character. I just find it hilarious to see people seethe over how a character is portrayed, like it's pivotal for the character to be the exact gradient of colour or else it's whitewashing/racist.

Nagatoro's tan lines are very clear and the parts that aren't tanned are similarly coloured as the other characters in the same scene.

Her brother Ichirō Nagatoro as seen in the webcomic isn't tanned/dark skinned, so it's an obvious case of her being the outdoors/sportsy-type rather than being genetic.

https://myanimelist.net/character/187117/Asami_Yuuki
https://myanimelist.net/character/43918/Rika


Ganguro/Gyaru generally use bronzer(foundation) to make their skin seem darker and/or use tanning beds. Nagatoro doesn't seem like a Ganguro/Gyaru, but simply somebody that spends most of her time outside. She doesn't use heavy make-up, or wears flashy clothing with dyed/bleached hair and has tan lines which would be uncommon among those types as they go for a full tan.

Typically in anime/manga that features a Ganguro/Gyaru type girl, there's more than one character that is like that, typically a group of girl-friends with the same style. They also don't refer to her as Ganguro/Gyaru, which would be a notable character trait and is usually called out at least once.

The reason why she's tanned is because she's part of the swimming club.

Just a tanned asian girl born in Japan. Nothing else, no debate.
Racial debate has no place here, we see enough of it in real life.
Want to see whites or blacks people ? Go watch European or American cartoons.

Look at the picture in that post, compare the colour of their bellies.
Bellies = Same colour.

Unless you're speaking of Albino's and those other girls are complete albino's and Nagatoro is some localized-tanline-albino-hybrid. It doesn't make sense what you're saying.
