3-Gatsu no Lion is About Food (The Kawamotos and Poverty)

It's a little cliche, but my dad is the nicest man I know. Every time I asked him for something like a new game system or whatever, I'd never actually get a no. And while it came late, my dad tried his hardest to get whatever I wanted. He worked (works) long hours doing a lot of physical labor, and I can only hope to be able to repay him one day.

On the other hand, my mom never bought me anything. However, food was the only exception. She believed if you were gonna spend money on anything, you should spend it on nutrition and experiences. And indeed I have fond memories of stuffing my face with my mother and sister on the way home from cram school.

I saw both of my parents inside March comes in like a lion, and it does a great job at its depiction of poverty, as well as how the Kawamotos manage to be happy in spite of their lack of wealth. Because even if they're poor, at least they're rich in heart.

Hope you have a happy Father's Day.
