Not sure what an ideal gloss would be, but "upturned eyes" in English seems to refer predominantly to an "eye shape", and not a "way of looking at someone"
Could even include in the gloss:
(e.g. to look to look cute, timid, submissive, etc.)
Encountered this term in a scene where a male protagonist suggests he'd be more motivated if his female companion/interest addressed him: "上目遣いで「私のために頑張ってね」". Google image search is *mostly* female faces.
If you google "she looked at him with upturned eyes", all you get is a handful of stories with Japanese protagonists. Doesn't appear to be very natural in English. |
