The moment when a squinty-eyed character finally opens their eyes is always nice~!
lol I didn't even notice she opened her eyes
Why were her eyes always closed?
It's a thing in anime/manga, I think it means that the person has friendly looking eyes or they're really nice...something of the sort

Damn, it turned into Shokugeki no Soma in that last panel
As I understand it, closed eyes means either the character has nothing to hide and what you see is what you get, or conversely that they have a lot to hide.
