I don't know if this English title is official but I am really annoyed by it. Because "Tashinami Deshite" in this context means something like "hobby/appropriate activity". Which sounds way more comprehensive in English when the phrase used.

^agree! It could've been "Rock is a Lady's Reservation" as in reserves of something, being reserved, reserving knowledge, etc., "The Acceptability of Lady's Rock" "Lady's Rock Decorum", "Virtue of Ladies' Rock" etc etc idk. Anything besides what we got, it's been bothering me lol

Tina has a black cat, so this is at least worth checking out.

In terms of direct translation, yeah, the title could be better, but I appreciate it as it is from an ironic perspective. 'Cause if the "gap visuals" are telling us anything, it's that these ladies' idea of rock is anything but modest.

It's the official English title. If you look at the manga cover art you can see it (it's part of the title treatment).

(Admins please forgive me linking to that particular site but I couldn't find a large enough version of the cover where you could read the text anywhere else)

Like how they managed to fit in the noble lady "prince" archetype.
