Bento Harassment

They're both about bento and using it to change the parent-child relationship.

Both movies are about a parent living alone with their child who attends high school. Although the reason why each parent is alone is different, they have in common that every day, they prepare a bento lunch box for their child.

Both feature a mother whose husband is absent and who has to take care of a teenage daughter. Both are tough and inspirational.

Comedic slice of life shows taking place on an island far away from Tokyo which shows the daily lives of the locals living on the island.

Both stories are heartwarming stories centered on making beautiful, tasty bentos, character development and better communications through food.
