Kirara Hoshi from "Jujutsu Kaisen" is Too Cute! Fans Buzz Over the "Not Buying It" Face in Episode 53: "This Expression is Gold," "What a Great Look"

Kirara Hoshi (CV: Yuki Sakakihara) from "Jujutsu Kaisen" has seen a massive surge in popularity following the character's anime debut. In particular, the adorable "not buying it" face shown in Episode 53 likely turned many viewers into instant Kirara fans.

Kirara is a third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High and is consistently seen alongside classmate Kinji Hakari (CV: Kazuya Nakai). Sporting lip piercings, a midriff-baring top, and a "gyaru" fashion style, Kirara is actually male. Between the lovely performance by voice actor Yuki Sakakihara and the character's wide range of expressive faces, Kirara is undoubtedly one of the characters whose popularity has flourished further in the anime adaptation.

One specific scene in Episode 53 perfectly captures Kirara's charm. Megumi Fushiguro (CV: Yuma Uchida) and Panda (CV: Tomokazu Seki) are attempting to enlist Hakari's help. When Kirara coldly dismisses them, saying, "You guys can just have Satoru Gojo bail you out whenever you want, right? I don't see the point in relying on us," Fushiguro reveals the truth: "Gojo-sensei has been sealed."

However, it seems Kirara didn't believe that the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, Satoru Gojo (CV: Yuichi Nakamura), could actually be sealed. Seeing Kirara's reaction, Fushiguro and Panda slumped their shoulders, muttering, "Aw man, they don't believe us at all!!"

Many fans were smitten by Kirara’s skeptical face, featuring wide eyes and a slight pout. The internet buzzed with reactions like, "That 'not buying it' face is so cute," "This expression is gold," and "What a great look." Other viewers were completely charmed, commenting, "Kirara-chan is seriously adorable," and "So cute I completely forget he's a boy..."
