This is (I think) the opposite of the original translation. From the context it seems to me that Ryuuji is thinking about how his "fierce eyes" are hopeless if he is upset by his father's face in the photo.

	This is hard, but I want Ryuji to show his hesitation to clearly call Inko-chan "cute". so what about " This is why he is cu...year, kind of cute."? Also I want you to make Inko-chan looking crazier and uglier(^_^). That's what Inko-chan is about. Like "le...le..leeee...llelllellltettttooooo..."

			== Misunderstood misunderstanding ==

			My edit now reads:

			Ryuuji suddenly shuddered. If even he thought of his father that way, no wonder everyone still misunderstood ''him''!

			This is (I think) the opposite of the original translation. From the context it seems to me that Ryuuji suddenly figures out that where his "bad eyes" troubles come from.

			But I could be wrong in my untangling of the original sentence.

			== midutaniV ==

			This is half my study of English. So I might need to ask questions.

			「だが苛立ちは鏡に対してはなんかでなく、〜〜」"It was pointless to take anger out on the mirror no matter how frustrated one was..."

			"But actually his frustration was coming from not ~ but ~" is my translation from the JP sentence. Why did you choose such a structure?

			「こんなもん、うそっぱちだ」"This stuff is nothing but a rip-off!"

			Doesn't "rip-off" reffer to more like 'money' things? well I can't tell though. I'd say "This is useless shit!"(joke)

			「ひとつ言わせてもらえば、〜　失敗に終わった」"Were it up to me, I'm not too sure if I would care about modeling. Still, I wanted to change."

			Shouldn't this be him and he instead of me and I? does not much matter though.

			「こんなところはかわいくない、こともない。」"This was why he was cute."

			== Very heavy parrot ==

			"Argh... Why are birds so dumb? As expected when you have a brain that weighs only 1kg, Ryuuji sighed, wrapping up the soiled newspaper."

			Given that parrots rarely weigh more than a kilogram total, this must be the heaviest parrot in the world (200kg+!)

			I think you must of meant 1g, not 1kg (0.035oz vs 2.2lb).
