The title seems to suggest that the story is about a protagonist who has reconnected with an old childhood friend, who has now become a "gal" (a Japanese term for a fashionable and confident girl, often associated with a bold and outgoing personality). The friend is apparently very upset with the protagonist and is giving him a severe scolding.

Rough translation: "Apparently, I'm Being Heavily Scolded by My Childhood Friend, Who's Now a Gal, and She's Really Mad"

The use of "Douyara" at the beginning is an expression that implies "apparently" or "it seems that", which suggests that the story may be told from a somewhat objective or observational perspective. The rest of the title sets up an interesting dynamic between the protagonist and his childhood friend, and implies that there may be a complicated or dramatic relationship between them.

The story follows , a high school student living in the shadow of his perfect twin brother, Ayato. Because Ayato excels at everything, Yuito has spent his life being dismissed as a "degraded version" of his brother, leading to severe self-esteem issues.

The titular older childhood friend. A college student and a "gal," she is pathologically in love with Yuito and often makes bold moves to claim him, contrasting sharply with the typical passive love interest.

The story follows a male protagonist who has an older childhood friend. She has transformed into a modern "Gal" (Gyaru). Despite their long-standing friendship, the protagonist begins to realize (or is told) that she is directing an incredibly heavy (obsessive/deep) romantic affection toward him. The term "Gekiomokanjo" (激重恋愛) implies that her love is intense, serious, and perhaps a bit overwhelming or "heavy," contrasting with the typically lighthearted image of a Gal.
