Tsurime Eyes: Difference between revisions

 

Its opposite is [[Tareme Eyes]]. This trope originated in Japan (thus the name), the trope has made its way into western works due to cultural diffusion and [[Animesque]] drawing.

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* Both Natsume and Sumire from ''[[Gakuen Alice]]'' have these

* Kagami Hiiragi, (in the above picture) resident [[tsundere]] of ''[[Lucky Star]]''. In fact, her magnificent tsurime is among her most recognizable features, making her impossible to mistake for her twin sister [[The Ditz|Tsukasa]]. And of course, her alternate-world [[Doppelganger/Expy|Expy]], Kyou Fujibayashi from [[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]].

** When tareme Yui does an impression of Mio in the manga, she pushes her eyes to the tsurime position for one panel.

** Normally tareme [[Sensei-chan|Sawako]] develops tsurime when she enters Catherine mode.

* [[Lady of War|Olivia]] [[Badass|Milla]] [[Good Is Not Nice|Armstrong]] from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. Ed is a male example; just compare him to Al in this flashback scene.

* Though it's difficult to tell with her bangs in the way, [[The Baroness|Cornelia]] from ''[[Code Geass]]'' also has these.

** {{spoiler|Simon}} also changes from Tareme to Tsurime post-[[Time Skip]]. At first, it's subtle, but they turn outright visible in the [[Final Battle]]. Respectively, he has quite possibly the strongest will of any of the characters.

* Narumi Ayumu in ''[[Spiral]]'', most noticeable in the manga. Interestingly, though he acts pretty cocky and arrogant, his weak will is an issue for him and part of his character development.

* Akira from ''[[Hikaru no Go]]''. His tsurime eyes are a clue that he is much more self-willed and aggressive than he seems. The eyes also highlight the contrast between him and his rival Hikaru, who has [[Tareme Eyes]].

* Rika, Yura's perky and slutty younger sister, in ''[[Futari Ecchi]]'', which is in contrast with Yura's (and their mother's) [[Tareme Eyes]].

* [[Windaria]] [[Badass Princess|Veronica]]'s and [[The Vamp|Selenia]]'s are noticiably sharper and up pointed than [[Housewife|Marie]]'s.

* Seraphim from ''[[Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?]]''.

** As are [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice|Mao]]'s, [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten|Valvatorez]]'s, and [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Rozalin]]'s. The fact that most of them are royal [[Tsundere]]s is probably not inconsequential.
