Closed eyes fetish in bara game

I’m concerned: when Fantastic Boyfriends English translation is released, can Sol become popular? It isn’t because he isn’t hairy, or he is just a human, it’s because his eyes are always closed.

Closed eyes characters can be seen even in latest anime, but it’s used as meaning their state, like  “It’s closing now but I’ll open it someday“ .

Apart from that, there is “symbolic closed eyes”. For example,maybe the most well-known closed eyes character, Brok(from Pokemon) has never opening eyes. It’s just a symbolic character design like “whose one eye hidden with hair(and who have no special power)“ or “who always wearing a hat“. It’s can be seen in manga from classical times for differentiating numerous characters illustrated by one artist.

I said “it’s just a symbolism”; but strangely, they have some vibes for Japanese people: calm, kind, mature and sturdy. Their vibes make them look nice for bara lovers, and easy to differentiate as game character, so they are in the bara game.

However, those are only in Japan, and Fantastic Boyfriends will release in English language regions.

I’m concerned.

(P.S. I can’t found any bara art tagged as “closed eyes” on Tumblr, so please press the like button if you have the same fetish or sympathizes with that.)
