A shoyu face can greatly change its impression with a few adjustments.

There is no need for flashy presentations. Rather, it is important not to break the impression of “sincerity” and “security.”

Common concerns and solutions for shoyu faces
Concern 1: Hard to leave a lasting impression
Indeed, the impact of the first impression may be modest. However, in actual romance, it is the type that “grows in evaluation after meeting.”
▶ Solution
It is important to create opportunities to meet sooner rather than relying on messages.
Concern 2: Often perceived as modest
Due to the calm facial impression, one may be thought to be a bit less assertive or overly passive.
▶ Solution
While being mindful of cleanliness in hairstyle and clothing to project presence, try to consciously increase expressions of affection through words a little.
What’s important here is the design of the encounter itself. If both parties can understand each other's personalities and values from the start, it can prevent misunderstandings of being modest or passive.
