There's a difference between conveying feelings with your eyes and simply going like this: O___O. But it's just a matter of opinion I guess. What truehappiness said is partially true, though. Maybe it just looks so deer in the headlights-esque because Ayu's eyes are so freaking huge XD |
Mao's personality was different and more extroverted, while Ayu had to play a more innocent "role". Also when she looked at Jun, usually she was in pain because the problems [or people] in between. Usually the situation is very serious and they are about to break up or something. So she's almost crying and stuff.
I think the wide open eyes are designed to show her innocence and cuteness. glitter is about believing in love, wanting to remain young and cutesy stuff. So obviously they have to display a less serious approach. She is probably experiencing love for the first time and so she is innocent to the concept of love. I think she expressed it pretty well - how unsure she was on how to act around someone who is supposed to be a bodyguard and how she feels around him - probably confused and yet yearning at the same time.
glitter was the start of a love story while HYD was love triangles and dilemmas so a comparison can't exactly be done.
